NO. 10 OHIO STATE SURVIVES OT SCARE IN MARYLAND

NO. 10 OHIO STATE 52, TERRAPINS 51

Tenth-ranked Ohio State survived a scare from the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday as the Buckeyes pulled out a wild 52-51 victory in overtime in College Park, Md.

Ohio State quarterback Dwayne Haskins, a native of nearby Potomac, Md., drove the Buckeyes (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) 50 yards and hit Binjimen Victor with a tying 3-yard touchdown pass with 40 seconds remaining in regulation. Haskins then scored on a 5-yard run in the first possession of overtime.

Maryland (5-6, 3-5) got a 1-yard touchdown run from Tayon Fleet-Davis in the Terrapins' half of the first overtime, then opted to go for the two-point conversion.

Quarterback Tyrrell Pigrome, making his first start of the season, saw his pass to an open Jeshaun Jones sail just wide to preserve the Ohio State win.

NO. 3 NOTRE DAME 36, NO. 12 SYRACUSE 3

Notre Dame quarterback Ian Book threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns, and Dexter Williams scored twice as the Fighting Irish topped the Orange in Yankee Stadium.

Notre Dame (11-0) moved its home game to the Bronx as part of the school's Shamrock Series, in which it plays games at neutral sites.

Syracuse (8-3) entered the game averaging 44 points and 482 yards, but the Irish defense picked off Eric Dungey once and freshman Tommy DeVito (who took over after Dungey was injured in the first quarter), twice more. Notre Dame also registered six sacks, two by linebacker Drue Tranquill, and 11 tackles for loss.

NO. 1 ALABAMA 50, THE CITADEL 17

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa parlayed a nearly perfect third-quarter performance into a needed breakthrough for his team as the top-ranked Crimson Tide stormed past the visiting Bulldogs with a huge second half.

Before finally exiting as the final period began, Tagovailoa completed all 10 of his passes for 196 yards and a pair of touchdowns in the third quarter. He wound up 18 for 22 for 340 yards and three scores for Alabama (11-0).

His razor-sharp performance helped Alabama outgain The Citadel 220 yards to 27 in the quarter and erase any drama after the Bulldogs (4-6) played the Tide to a 10-10 tie at halftime.

NO. 2 CLEMSON 35, DUKE 6

Running back Travis Etienne rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the host Tigers overcame a slow start against the Blue Devils to remain undefeated.

Etienne, the ACC's second-leading rusher at 107.6 yards per game, was held to only 4 yards on five carries in the first half. But he erupted after halftime, averaging more than 19 yards per carry and scoring on runs of 27 and 29 yards for Clemson (11-0, 8-0 ACC).

Duke, which already has clinched a bowl berth for the fifth time in six seasons, slipped to 7-4 overall and 3-4 in ACC play. Clemson will play Pittsburgh in the ACC Championship Game on Dec. 1 at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, N.C.

NO. 4 MICHIGAN 31, INDIANA 20

Freshman Jake Moody made six field goals in his debut as the team's placekicker, Karan Higdon rushed for 101 yards and a touchdown, and the host Wolverines grinded out a victory over the Hoosiers.

Shea Patterson completed 16 of 28 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown with an interception for the Wolverines (10-1 overall, 8-0 Big Ten). Michigan will play at rival Ohio State for the East Division championship next Saturday. The Buckeyes survived Maryland in overtime earlier in the day.

Peyton Ramsey completed 16 of 35 passes for 195 yards with a touchdown and an interception for the Hoosiers (5-6, 2-6). Stevie Scott rushed for 139 yards on 30 carries with a score.

NO. 5 GEORGIA 66, UMASS 27

After wrapping up the SEC East with three straight conference wins, the host Bulldogs put up 701 yards of offense and strolled past the Minutemen.

Freshman quarterback Justin Fields accounted for a large chunk by himself. With Georgia (10-1) up huge early, the five-star recruit played most of the game and posted some eye-popping numbers against UMass (4-8).

Not only did Fields complete 5 of 8 passes for 121 yards and two scores, he also rushed seven times for 100 yards a touchdown. It marked just the third time since 1976 that a Georgia quarterback has rushed for at least 100 yards.

NO. 6 OKLAHOMA 55, KANSAS 40

Kyler Murray threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns and ran for 99 yards and three more scores as the Sooners came back from down early to roll the visiting Jayhawks.

Murray's performance kept him in the thick of the Heisman Trophy conversation and helped the Sooners (10-1, 7-1 Big 12) overcome a monster day by Jayhawks' freshman running back Pooka Williams Jr., who ran for a career-high 252 yards and two touchdowns on 15 carries and also threw a touchdown pass early in the fourth quarter.

Kansas lost for the seventh time in eight games to drop to 3-8 and 1-7 despite averaging 9.7 yards per rush. The Jayhawks ran for 348 yards. The Jayhawks led on two occasions in the first half -- first taking advantage of a Brooks fumble and driving 93 yards for the game's first score and following with a field goal on their next drive to go up 10-7.

NO. 7 LSU 42, RICE 10

Quarterback Joe Burrow completed 20 of 28 passes for a career-high 307 yards and two touchdowns to power the host Tigers to a rout of the Owls.

Burrow played midway into the third quarter as LSU (9-2) built a 35-3 lead. The Tigers will finish their surprisingly strong regular season on the road next week against Texas A&M. A 10-win season would be LSU's first since 2013.

Rice, which dropped to 1-11, scored on Haden Tobola's 51-yard field goal late in the first half and a 5-yard run by Juma Otoviano with 2:55 left in the game. Rice will close its season next week at home against Old Dominion.

NO. 8 WASHINGTON STATE 69, ARIZONA 28

Riding the arm of quarterback Gardner Minshew, the Cougars charged to 41-point halftime lead, scoring 34 points in the second quarter, and went on to beat the visiting Wildcats.

Minshew, the nation's leading passer, solidified his candidacy for the Heisman Trophy by completing 43 of 55 passes for 473 yards with a school-record seven touchdown passes and no interceptions.

Five Washington State receivers had at least five catches and three had at least six, led by Tay Martin, who had seven catches for 124 yards and a touchdown. The Cougars (10-1, 7-1 Pac-12) finished with 605 total yards of offense.

OKLAHOMA STATE 45, NO. 9 WEST VIRGINIA 41

Taylor Cornelius led a comeback with five touchdown passes and one rushing score as the host Cowboys stunned the Mountaineers.

Cornelius hit Tylan Wallace on an 11-yard touchdown throw with 42 seconds to play as the Cowboys (6-5, 3-5 Big 12) overcame a 17-point deficit in the second half.

West Virginia (8-2, 6-2) reached the 14-yard line on a David Sills V catch with one second left. But after a timeout, Will Grier's end-zone pass for Sills was batted down by cornerback A.J. Green.

NO. 11 UCF 38, NO. 24 CINCINNATI 13

Quarterback McKenzie Milton overcame a shaky start to pass for three touchdowns and rush for another as the host Knights topped the Bearcats to run their winning streak to 23 games.

With the win, UCF (10-0, 7-0 American Athletic Conference) clinched a berth in the conference championship game Dec. 1 on its home field. Cincinnati (9-2, 5-2 AAC), fell into third place in the American West Division.

The Knights rushed for a season-low 134 yards but more than made up for it thanks to Milton's arm. The junior completed 13 of 25 passes for 268 yards and had scoring passes of 17 and 42 yards to running back Adrian Killins Jr. and 36 yards to wide receiver Tre Nixon.

NO. 13 FLORIDA 63, IDAHO 10

The Gators celebrated Senior Day with two touchdowns in the first three minutes, 49 points in the first half and an easy win over the Vandals at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium in Gainesville, Fla.

Florida (8-3) scored a touchdown on the game's first play, when junior defensive back Chauncey Gardner-Johnson intercepted a pass from Idaho quarterback Mason Petrino and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. After forcing a three-and-out on defense, Florida drove 47 yards and went ahead 14-0 on a 17-yard touchdown run by quarterback Feleipe Franks with 12:46 left in the first quarter.

Franks completed 19 of 27 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns before giving way to freshman backup quarterback Emory Jones late in the second quarter. Jones played deep into the fourth quarter, completing 12 of 16 passes for 125 yards and two TDs. Florida finished the game with 600 yards of offense (399 passing, 201 rushing), while Idaho (4-7) was held to 227 yards.

NO. 14 PENN STATE 20, RUTGERS 7

Senior Trace McSorley became the Nittany Lions' winningest quarterback in program history in beating the host Scarlet Knights.

Penn State (8-3, 5-3 Big Ten) handed Rutgers (1-10, 0-8) its 10th consecutive loss.

McSorley completed 17 of 37 passes for 183 yards with two touchdowns and one interception, earning his 30th win, breaking the record Todd Blackledge set from 1980-82 and Tony Sacca (1988-91) tied. Both of McSorley's scoring passes went to freshman tight end Pat Freiermuth.

NO. 15 TEXAS 24, NO. 16 IOWA STATE 10

Quarterback Sam Ehlinger passed for 137 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score before being injured late in the first half as the host Longhorns dominated the Cyclones to keep their hopes for a spot in the Big 12 championship game alive.

The Longhorns (8-3, 6-2 Big 12) can clinch a berth in the league title game with a win Friday at Kansas, and would play the winner of Friday's Oklahoma-West Virginia game. Texas' eight wins are its most since 2013, former coach Mack Brown's final season in Austin.

The loss snapped a five-game winning streak for Iowa State (6-4, 5-3) and eliminated the Cyclones' chances for one of the berths in the league championship game.

NO. 17 KENTUCKY 34, MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE 23

The Wildcats ended a two-game losing skid by defeating the visiting Blue Raiders in the first of back-to-back nonconference games to end the regular season.

UK improves to 8-3 and already completed SEC play at 5-3. The Wildcats play at Louisville next week. Middle Tennessee falls to 7-4, but at 6-1 leads the Conference USA East Division.

On Senior Day, it was Mike Edwards who wasted no time getting UK off to a fast start. The senior safety intercepted a pass on MTSU's first possession and returned it 66 yards for a touchdown just 87 seconds into the game. On the Blue Raiders' next possession, Edwards forced a fumble that was recovered by Davonte Robinson and ultimately led to another Kentucky score.

NO. 18 WASHINGTON 42, OREGON STATE 23

Jake Browning passed for 242 yards and three touchdowns and Myles Gaskin rushed for 135 yards and scored twice as the two seniors led the Huskies past the Beavers in their final game at Husky Stadium in Seattle.

Washington (8-3, 6-2 Pac-12) set up an Apple Cup showdown Friday at Washington State that will determine the conference's North Division winner.

The Beavers (2-9, 1-7) will finish their season at home Friday in the Civil War against Oregon.

NO. 19 UTAH 30, COLORADO 7

Jason Shelley passed for 221 yards and two touchdowns, Armand Shyne ran for 55 yards and another score, and the Utes moved closer to clinching the Pac-12 South with a win over the Buffaloes in Boulder, Colo.

Jaylen Dixon had four catches for 125 yards and a score for the Utes (8-3, 6-3).

Utah was able to move the ball despite raw conditions. Temperatures were in the 30s and snow fell throughout the game. Colorado (5-6, 2-6) has lost six in a row and needs a win next week at Cal to become bowl eligible after starting the season 5-0.

FLORIDA STATE 22, NO. 20 BOSTON COLLEGE 21

Seminoles quarterback Deondre Francois hit receiver Tamorrion Terry for a 74-yard touchdown pass with 1:49 left in the game to complete the comeback as Florida State knocked off the Eagles in Tallahassee, Fla.

Francois struggled mightily before that play, throwing two interceptions and badly missing receivers all day against Boston College (7-4, 4-3 Atlantic Coast College). But Terry hauled in the pass to help the Seminoles (5-6, 3-5) keep their bowl hopes alive.

Florida State came into Saturday's game needing a win in each of its last two contests to become bowl eligible for the 37th consecutive season. The Seminoles haven't missed out on a bowl game since 1981 or had a losing season since 1976.

NO. 21 MISSISSIPPI STATE 52, ARKANSAS 6

Nick Fitzgerald passed for four touchdowns and ran for another as the Bulldogs routed the Razorbacks in Starkville, Miss.

Fitzgerald, a senior playing his final home game, ran for the Bulldogs' first touchdown in the second quarter and threw three third-quarter touchdown passes to break the game open. He completed 9 of 14 for 127 yards in the game as nearly half of his completions and more than half of his passing yards (69) came on scoring plays. He ran another 14 times for 85 yards.

Mississippi State improved to 7-4 overall and 3-4 in SEC play under first-year coach Joe Moorhead while the Razorbacks fell to 2-9 and 0-7 under first-year coach Chad Morris. They need to win their season finale at Missouri next week to avoid becoming the first 10-loss team in school history.

NO. 22 NORTHWESTERN 24, MINNESOTA 14

Running back Isaiah Bowser ran for two touchdowns, quarterback Clayton Thorson rushed for another and the Wildcats defense shut down the Golden Gophers offense on a brisk 20-degree day in Minneapolis.

Bowser's second score of the day capped a 92-yard, seven-play drive that gave the Wildcats some breathing room at 21-7 with 11:07 to play as both offenses struggled to get into the end zone.

The Wildcats (7-4, 7-1 Big Ten) already have clinched a berth in the Big Ten Championship game. Minnesota (5-6, 2-6) needs a win next week against Wisconsin to become bowl eligible.

NO. 23 UTAH STATE 29, COLORADO STATE 24

Jordan Love threw a 33-yard touchdown to Aaren Vaughns with 43 seconds left, then the Aggies withstood what appeared to be a game-winning touchdown as time expired as Utah State hung on against the Rams on a snowy day in Fort Collins, Colo.

Colorado State (3-8, 2-5 Mountain West) appeared to win on a 34-yard Hail Mary pass from Collin Hill to Preston Williams as time expired. But Williams went out of bounds on his own during his route then re-entered the field and was called for illegal touching. The penalty wiped out the would-be game winner.

The Aggies (10-1, 7-0) came in averaging a nation's best 51.3 points per game but were held out of the end zone until the final minute by a defense that was giving up 38.5 points and 469 yards per game.
