Over the past decade, Oklahoma has rarely been out of the AP Top 25 and Stanford has rarely been in. On Sunday, the Sooners and Cardinal sort of swapped places. Oklahoma dropped out of the college football poll for the first time since 2005, and No. 25 Stanford moved into the rankings for the first time since 2001. The first six spots were held by major college football's six unbeaten teams, with Florida, Texas and Alabama making up the top three for the second consecutive week. Florida... Read Full Story
Some coaches probably would have taken the easy way out, just settled for the chip-shot field goal and took another shot in the second overtime. Not Paul Johnson. The Georgia Tech coach doesn't mind putting it all on the line, even at the risk of costing his team a shot at the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. "If you tell the kids 'play to win,'" Johnson said Sunday, "then you have to play to win." The Yellow Jackets (9-1, 6-1 ACC) have been doing just that. They climbed to No. 7 in... Read Full Story
Shay Hodge scored two touchdowns on a career-high 169 receiving yards and Mississippi pulled away from Northern Arizona 38-14 Saturday night. With the Rebels' top offensive weapon Dexter McCluster getting much of the night off, Hodge scored twice, including a 65-yard strike from quarterback Jevan Snead. The Lumberjacks (5-4) made the game interesting with a pair of second-quarter touchdowns, the second one tying the score at 14 with just under 8 minutes left in the half. But the Rebels (6-3...

Will Harris returned an interception 55 yards for a touchdown, Matt Barkley threw a 75-yard pass to Damian Williams for another score, and No. 12 USC held on for a shaky 14-9 victory over Arizona State on Saturday night. Coming off the worst loss in the Pete Carroll era, the Trojans (7-2, 4-2 Pac-10) barely survived on a night they produced little on offense. The victory kept the Trojans in the hunt for an eighth straight Bowl Championship Series berth. "We got a good win on the road," a... Read Full Story
C.J. Spiller had a career-high 165 yards rushing and his 20th touchdown of at least 50 yards and Clemson took its biggest step yet toward an Atlantic Coast Conference title with a 40-24 victory over Florida State on Saturday night. Spiller, the Tigers' star senior, caught a 58-yard TD pass from Kyle Parker and, with 312 all-purpose yards, surpassed the school record of 310 he set in Clemson's 40-37 overtime win at Miami two weeks ago. He also closed Clemson's fifth victory over the Seminoles... Read Full Story
Will Harris returned an interception 55 yards for a score, Matt Barkley threw a 75-yard pass to Damian Williams for another score, and No. 12 USC held on for a shaky 14-9 victory over Arizona State on Saturday night. Coming off the worst loss in the Pete Carroll era, the Trojans (7-2, 4-2 Pac-10) barely survived on a night they produced little on offense. The victory kept the Trojans in the hunt for an eighth straight Bowl Championship Series berth. USC's defense was the reason the Trojans... Read Full Story
Jordan Wynn passed for 297 yards and two touchdowns in his first college start and Eddie Wide set a school record with his sixth straight 100-yard rushing game as No. 17 Utah beat winless New Mexico 45-14 on Saturday night. The Utes (8-1, 5-0) won their sixth straight and scored their most points since a 48-24 win over BYU last year to end the regular season. Utah also remained unbeaten in the Mountain West Conference, setting up a first-place showdown next week at No. 6 TCU. Wide gained 122... Read Full Story
The toughest tests have been passed, the tallest hurdles cleared for Texas, Alabama and Florida. For the second season in a row, an SEC-Big 12 matchup in the BCS championship games seems inevitable. Maybe too inevitable? With Iowa out of the unbeaten picture, Florida and Alabama might even be able to stumble a bit down the stretch and still play for a national championship. That's not really the way the BCS is supposed to work. The Big Story The Bowl Championship Series hasn't had a season... Read Full Story
Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more as No. 6 TCU won its 11th straight with a 55-12 win over San Diego State on Saturday. TCU (8-0, 4-0 Mountain West) remained in the chase for a BCS bowl berth by staying undefeated. The Horned Frogs jumped in front with touchdowns on five of their first six possessions. Dalton scored on runs of 13 and 7 yards as TCU held a 31-6 halftime lead. He also hit Ryan Christian on TD passes of 44 and 29 yards. San Diego State (4-5, 2-3 MWC... Read Full Story
Keith Toston ran for a career-high 206 yards and three touchdowns, Zac Robinson threw a touchdown pass and No. 18 Oklahoma State bounced back from its drubbing by Texas with a 34-8 victory over Iowa State on Saturday. Oklahoma State (7-2, 4-1 Big 12) controlled the game with a solid performance on both sides of the ball and reached seven victories for the fourth straight season, the first time in school history that has happened. After throwing four interceptions in the 41-14 loss to Texas... Read Full Story
