Jacksonville, FL (My Sportsbook) - Tim Tebow accounted for four touchdowns -- two on the ground and two on passes to Riley Cooper -- as No. 1 Florida rolled to a 41-17 drubbing of Georgia in the annual matchup at Municipal Stadium. Tebow sustained a concussion in a game against Kentucky on September 26 and struggled to put the ball in the end zone in three close SEC wins prior to regaining his 2007 Heisman Trophy-winning form on Saturday. The senior QB connected on 15-of-21 passes for 164 yards to lead Florida (8-0, 6-0 SEC) to its 18th straight win. Tebow also carried the ball 18 times for 85 yards and set a conference record for rushing TDs in the process, breaking the mark set by Georgia legend Herschel Walker, who ran for 49 scores between 1980-82. Cooper ended with 78 yards on four catches for the Gators, who are off their best start since they won 10 in a row to open the 1996 season. A.J. Jones had two of Florida's four interceptions, while Brandon Spikes returned another for a touchdown. Georgia (4-4, 3-3), which was coming off a bye, has now dropped 10 of the last 12 meetings against the Gators. Joe Cox threw for 165 yards and two touchdowns on 11-of-20 throws but was intercepted three times in the Bulldogs' third loss in four games.
Final Score: (3) Texas 41, (13) Oklahoma State 14
Stillwater, OK (My Sportsbook) - Texas' defense took center stage with four interceptions of Zac Robinson, two of those returned for touchdowns, as the third-ranked Longhorns posted an impressive and well-rounded 41-14 win against No. 13 Oklahoma State. Colt McCoy was 16-of-21 for 171 yards and a touchdown and Cody Johnson scored twice on the ground for the Longhorns (8-0, 5-0 Big 12), who were coming off an equally impressive 41-7 dismantling of Missouri in Columbia last weekend. Jordan Shipley had six catches for 64 yards and Macolm Williams made two grabs for 55 yards and a TD as Texas moved closer to wrapping up the Big 12 South title fresh off two consecutive conference road wins. It was Texas' 12th straight win over Oklahoma State with coach Mack Brown having guided the team in each of those victories. The defense, which came into Saturday ranked second in the nation, forced five turnovers in all. Robinson, who had three interceptions all season entering Saturday, had easily the most disappointing game of his collegiate tenure. He ended 15- of-28 for 143 yards and a late touchdown pass to Justin Blackmon. Keith Totson rushed 19 times for 70 yards and Beau Johnson had a rushing score for the Cowboys (6-2, 3-1), who came in with an unblemished conference record thanks to last weekend's 34-7 rout of Baylor, OSU's fifth straight win. Hubert Anyiam, Robinson's main target since the loss of Dez Bryant to a season- ending suspension, totaled 62 yards on five receptions in the loss. It was announced on Tuesday that Bryant's current suspension will run through the 2009 season as ruled on by the NCAA.
Final Score: (5) Cincinnati 28, Syracuse 7
Syracuse, NY (My Sportsbook) - Zach Collaros threw for 295 yards and four touchdowns in place of Tony Pike, as fifth-ranked Cincinnati earned a 28-7 win over Syracuse in a Big East matchup at the Carrier Dome. Collaros completed 22-of-28 passes, while Armon Binns had five grabs for 138 yards a a pair of scores for Cincinnati (8-0, 4-0 Big East), which was able to build off a convincing 41-10 victory over Louisville last weekend. The Bearcats, who were without Pike for a second straight game while he recuperates from left forearm surgery, is off to their best start since 1954. Kazeem Alli and Adrien Robinson also pulled in a touchdown catch apiece for Cincinnati, which extended its winning streak to 14-straight regular-season games dating back to last season. Greg Paulus completed 12- of-17 throws for 85 yards with a TD and an interception for Syracuse (3-5, 0-3), which defeated Akron, 28-14, last weekend in non-conference play. The Orange have dropped three of their last four. Delone Carter rushed for 50 yards on 19 touches, but fumbled late in the third quarter with the Orange in the red zone. Cody Catalina had a pair of catches for 25 yards and a touchdown catch. Mike Williams returned to the field after serving a one- game suspension last weekend against Akron for violating team rules and had four catches for 34 yards.

Boise, ID (My Sportsbook) - Kellen Moore threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns, leading sixth-ranked Boise State in a 45-7 rout of San Jose State and the 23rd consecutive home victory for the Broncos.

Kevin Jurovich had six catches for 69 yards in the loss.
Final Score: (7) Iowa 42, Indiana 24
Iowa City, IA (My Sportsbook) - Ricky Stanzi threw two long touchdown passes in a two-minute stretch early in the fourth quarter after tossing four third- quarter interceptions, as seventh-ranked Iowa continued to walk the tightrope in a 42-24 victory over Indiana. The score did not indicate how close the Hawkeyes (9-0, 5-0 Big Ten) were to defeat, but yet again, they responded to continue their best start in school history. Iowa has trailed at some point in eight of its nine wins this season. Stanzi threw for 337 yards on 13- of-26 passing with two touchdowns and five total interceptions. Brandon Wegher ran for 118 yards and three scores, and Marvin McNutt caught four passes for 155 yards.

Stefan Demos connected on 2-of-3 field goal attempts for the Wildcats (5-4, 2-3), who were coming off a dramatic 29-28 win last weekend against Indiana.
Final Score: (15) Houston 50, Southern Miss 43
Houston, TX (My Sportsbook) - Case Keenum threw five touchdown passes, including a 28-yarder to Patrick Edwards with 21 seconds left in the fourth quarter, as 15th-ranked Houston earned a wild 50-43 win over Southern Mississippi in a Conference USA battle at Robertson Stadium. With 3:36 to play and Houston ahead 43-36, Southern Miss went 78 yards in eight plays to tie the game as Martevious Young connected with Gerald Baptiste for a 13-yard score with 57 seconds left. However, the Cougars (7-1, 3-1 C-USA) would respond in a big way. Keenum quickly guided the offense just past midfield in four plays before hitting Edwards in stride for the 28-yard scoring strike. Southern Miss (5-4, 3-2) got the ball on its own 45, but Young's desperation heave fell incomplete in the end zone as time expired. Keenum completed 44-of-54 throws for a career-best 559 yards, while James Cleveland had 13 catches for 190 yards and a pair of scores for Houston, which has won four straight since dropping a 58-41 decision to UTEP on October 3.

Wide tied a school record with his fifth straight 100-yard rushing game. Wynn finished 9-of-14 with 82 yards in relief of Terrance Cain, who had 121 yards on 10-of-13 passing in the first half for the Utes (7-1, 4-0 MWC), who won their fifth straight game.

Final Score: Tennessee 31, (21) South Carolina 13

Norman, OK (My Sportsbook) - Landry Jones helped start the post-Sam Bradford era on a good note, throwing for 294 yards and four touchdowns to lead No.22 Oklahoma past Kansas State, 42-30, in a Big 12 affair. Bradford, the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, elected to have season-ending surgery on his shoulder this past week, and there is a good chance that he will enter the NFL Draft come April. Jones, making his fifth start in place of Bradford and first since Bradford announced his decision to have surgery, finished 26-of-37 for the Sooners (5-3, 3-1 Big 12), who won their second in a row. DeMarco Murray had 62 yards and a pair of scores on 15 carries and added a receiving TD. Chris Brown totaled 83 yards on 15 carries, while Ryan Broyles scored twice and DeJuan Miller once in the win.

Final Score: (25) Notre Dame 40, Washington State 14
San Antonio, TX (My Sportsbook) - Golden Tate hauled in a miraculous 50-yard touchdown heave at the end of the first half and also scored on the ground, as No. 25 Notre Dame cruised to a 40-14 victory over lowly Washington State at the Alamodome. Jimmy Clausen padded his resume with 268 yards and two touchdowns on 22-of-27 efficiency for the Fighting Irish (6-2), who have won five of their last six. Clausen appeared to tweak a turf toe injury in the third quarter, and as a precaution was taken out of the game. Tate hauled in four passes for 80 yards and added 61 yards on the ground, while Robert Hughes carried the ball 24 times for 131 yards and a score in a rare blowout decision. The previous six games for the Irish were decided by seven points or less. Jared Karstetter caught two touchdown passes from Jeff Tuel, who finished with 104 yards and two interceptions on 12-of-23 attempts for the Cougars (1-7), losers of five straight.
