Top-ranked Florida extends streak to 21

Florida improved to 11-0 this season for just the second time in school history and needs two more wins — against Florida State and No. 2 Alabama — to earn a shot at repeating as national champion.

No. 2 Alabama 45, Chattanooga 0 At Tuscaloosa, Alabama, Mark Ingram ran for 102 yards and two long touchdowns in the first half as Alabama raced to a 35-0 halftime lead in an easy tune-up and improved its record to 11-0.

No. 4 TCU 45, Wyoming 10 At Laramie, Wyoming, Matthew Tucker and Joseph Turner each ran for two touchdowns as TCU improved to 11-0 for the first time since 1938, when it last won the national championship.

No. 9 Ohio St. 21, Michigan 10 At Ann Arbor, Michigan quarterback Tate Forcier threw four interceptions and fumbled in his end zone, which Ohio State took advantage of to score and win the sixth straight in this series.

Ohio State also clinched an outright Big Ten championship and will play in the Rose Bowl with a five-game winning streak, while Michigan, with a 5-7 record, endures consecutive losing years for the first time since 1963.

Mississippi 25, No. 10 LSU 23 At Oxford, Mississippi, Dexter McCluster ran for 148 yards and threw for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, before Mississippi survived a last-ditch drive by LSU.

No. 13 Penn State 42, Michigan State 14 At East Lansing, Michigan, Daryll Clark passed for 310 yards and four touchdowns, and Penn State will now see whether it did enough to earn a major bowl berth. Clark moved into first place in the school's record book with 23 touchdown passes in a season and 42 in a career.

California 34, No. 14 Stanford 28 At Stanford, California, Shane Vereen ran for a career-high 193 yards and three touchdowns on 42 carries and Mike Mohamed intercepted a pass from Andrew Luck at the 3 with less than 2 minutes left as California spoiled Stanford's Rose Bowl hopes.

No. 15 Iowa 12, Minnesota 0 At Iowa City, Iowa, James Vandenberg threw for 117 yards, Brandon Wegher ran for a touchdown, and Iowa kept alive its hopes for a BCS bowl berth. The victory gave Iowa 10 wins for the first time since 2004.

No. 16 Virginia Tech 38, North Carolina State 10 At Blacksburg, Virginia, Ryan Williams ran for 120 yards and four touchdowns in Virginia Tech's win.

Northwestern 33, No. 17 Wisconsin 31 At Evanston, Illinois, Mike Kafka hit Andrew Brewer with two first-half touchdown passes and Brian Peters and Jordan Mabin made key defensive plays late for Northwestern's upset of Wisconsin.

No. 19 BYU 38, Air Force 21 At Provo, Utah, Max Hall threw for five touchdowns and set a school record with his 30th career win, as BYU won its sixth straight over Air Force.

No. 20 Oregon St. 42, Washington St. 10 At Pullman, Washington, Oregon State scored touchdowns on its first three possessions, and rolled up 567 yards of total offense in the romp.

No. 21 Miami 34, Duke 16 At Miami, Jacory Harris threw for 348 yards and two touchdowns, and Darryl Sharpton capped his final home game with a 73-yard interception return for a score for Miami.

No. 23 Utah 38, San Diego State 7 At Salt Lake City, Eddie Wide ran for 84 yards and two touchdowns, and Utah scored all of its points in the first half to bounce back from a loss to TCU in its 17th straight win at home.

No. 24 Houston 55, Memphis 14 At Houston, Case Keenum threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns in just more than two quarters, breaking David Klingler's school record with 94 career touchdown tosses.

Syracuse 31, No. 25 Rutgers 13 At Syracuse, New York, Greg Paulus had 142 yards passing and the Syracuse defense racked up nine sacks to match a school record at Rutgers' expense.
