A smarter way to bet

GAINESVILLE, Fla.(AP) -- Tim Tebow accounted for three touchdowns
and Brandon Spikes returned an interception for a score, and No.
1 Florida beat Florida International 62-3 on Saturday to extend
the nation's longest winning streak to 21 games.

Florida improved to 11-0 for just the second time in school
history and needs two more wins - against Florida State and
Alabama - to earn a shot at repeating as national champion.

The Gators scored touchdowns on eight of 10 offensive
possessions against FIU (3-8), and the only scoreless drives
came when Caleb Sturgis missed a 52-yard field goal attempt in
the first quarter and when Florida ran out the clock in the
final seconds.

No. 2 Alabama 45, Chattanooga 0=

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) - Mark Ingram ran for 102 yards and two
long touchdowns in the first half, and the Crimson Tide raced to
a 35-0 halftime lead in an easy tuneup.

That enabled many of the starters to take a break in the second
half against the Mocs (6-5), although Ingram and the Tide still
managed to turn in a few highlight-reel plays.

Ingram ran for touchdowns of 25 and 40 yards, and Javier Arenas
set the SEC career record with his seventh punt return for a
touchdown for the Tide (11-0). Julio Jones caught a 44-yard pass
and scored on a 19-yarder from Greg McElroy.

No. 4 TCU 45, Wyoming 10=

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) - Matthew Tucker and Joseph Turner each ran
for two touchdowns, and the Horned Frogs improved to 11-0 for
the first time since 1938.

The win keeps TCU (7-0 Mountain West) in the thick of BCS
contention and clinches at least a share of the conference
crown. The last time the Horned Frogs won their first 11 games,
they capped the season with a win over Carnegie Tech in the
national championship game.

Wyoming (5-6, 3-4) had just 52 yards of total offense in the
second half.

No. 9 Ohio St. 21, Michigan 10=

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Tate Forcier threw four interceptions
and fumbled in his end zone, and the Buckeyes took advantage to
win their sixth straight in the series.

Ohio State (10-2, 7-1) also clinched an outright Big Ten
championship and will play in the Rose Bowl with a five-game
winning streak.

The Wolverines started the season 4-0 and ended it 5-7. The flop
came after a school-record nine-loss season in Rich Rodriguez's
debut year with college football's winningest program.

Michigan has endured consecutive losing years for the first time
since the 1962-63 seasons.

Mississippi 25, No. 10 LSU 23=

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) - Dexter McCluster ran for 148 yards and
threw for a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, before
the Rebels survived a last-ditch drive by the Tigers.

After recovering an onside kick, LSU's Jordan Jefferson heaved a
pass to Terrance Tolliver that he caught at the Ole Miss 6 with
one second left. The Tigers had no timeouts and didn't send the
field goal unit onto the field, and the clock expired as they
tried to spike the ball.

The win likely gives Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3) second place in the SEC
West with a game left to play, and an edge over LSU (8-3, 4-3)
when bowl invitations are handed out.

No. 13 Penn State 42, Michigan State 14=

EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Daryll Clark passed for 310 yards and
four touchdowns, and the Nittany Lions will now see whether it
did enough to earn a BCS bowl bid.

Clark moved into first place in the school's record book with 23
TD passes in a season and 42 in a career. Evan Royster added 114
yards on 13 carries for Penn State (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten).

Michigan State (6-6, 4-4) also is bowl-bound.

No. 15 Iowa 12, Minnesota 0=

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) - James Vandenberg threw for 117 yards,
fellow freshman Brandon Wegher ran for a touchdown, and the
Hawkeyes kept alive their hopes for a BCS bowl berth.

The victory gave Iowa (10-2, 6-2 Big Ten) double-digit wins for
the first time since 2004, along with Floyd of Rosedale - a
bronze pig awarded to the winner of the border rivalry - for the
eighth time in nine tries.

Adam Weber was 14 of 40 for 153 yards for the Gophers (6-6,
3-5), who scored just seven points in road games against Penn
State, Ohio State and the Hawkeyes.

No. 16 Virginia Tech 38, North Carolina State 10=

BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Ryan Williams ran for 120 yards and four
touchdowns and helped make sure the Hokies would send their 21
seniors out of Lane Stadium with a win.

Virginia Tech (8-3, 5-2 ACC) also got a career-best day from
wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who caught six passes for 164
yards and a touchdown, and from linebacker Cody Grimm, who
forced two fumbles in his final home game.

N.C. State (4-7, 1-6) lost its second straight and for the sixth
time in seven games. The Wolfpack allowed at least 30 points for
the eighth game in a row.

Northwestern 33, No. 17 Wisconsin 31=

EVANSTON, Ill. (AP) - Mike Kafka hit Andrew Brewer with two
first-half touchdown passes and Brian Peters and Jordan Mabin
made key defensive plays late for Northwestern.

The Wildcats (8-4, 5-3 Big Ten) improved their bowl prospects
with a third straight win, and fans swarmed Ryan Field after
Mabin intercepted Scott Tolzien with 42 seconds to go.

Stefan Demos kicked four field goals for the Wildcats, while
David Gilreath had a 68-yard punt return for at ouchdown for the
Badgers (8-3, 5-3).

No. 19 BYU 38, Air Force 21=

PROVO, Utah (AP) - Max Hall threw for five touchdowns and set a
school record with his 30th career win, and the Cougars won
their sixth straight over Air Force.

Hall was 33 for 45 for 377 yards, breaking the mark he shared
with 1990 Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer. Harvey Unga also
became the rushing leader at BYU (9-2, 5-1 Mountain West) after
going for 67 yards. He has 3,268 for his career.

Jared Tew ran for 88 yards for the Falcons (7-5, 5-3).

No. 21 Miami 34, Duke 16=

MIAMI (AP) - 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.

Damien Berry's 2-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter
opened the floodgates for Miami (8-3, 5-3 ACC). Leonard
Hankerson had career bests of eight catches and 143 yards for
the Hurricanes, who scored the final 24 points to keep hope
alive for a 10-win season.

Thaddeus Lewis finished 20 of 37 for 303 yards for Duke (5-6,
3-4), taking over the school's all-time lead in passing yardage
with 9,678.

No. 23 Utah 38, San Diego State 7=

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Eddie Wide ran for 84 yards and two
touchdowns, and the Utes scored all their points in the first
half to bounce back from a loss to TCU.

Utah (9-2, 6-1 MWC) won its 17th straight at home, extending the
third-longest home winning streak in the nation behind Oklahoma
(28) and Boise State (24). Freshman Jordan Wynn completed 14 of
28 passes for 198 yards and a touchdown.

Ryan Lindley was 17 of 37 for 207 yards for San Diego State
(4-7, 2-5).

No. 24 Houston 55, Memphis 14=

HOUSTON (AP) - 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.

Keenum was replaced by Cotton Turner after an 18-yard pass to
L.J. Castile put Houston (9-2, 5-2 Conference USA) ahead 49-14
early in the third quarter.

Memphis (2-9, 1-6) was led by Curtis Steele, who had 160 yards
rushing and two touchdowns.

Syracuse 31, No. 25 Rutgers 13=

SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) - Greg Paulus had 142 yards passing and the
Syracuse defense racked up nine sacks to match a school record.

The Orange (4-7, 1-5 Big East) jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the
first quarter and never looked back. Antwon Bailey scored on a
14-yard run and Delone Carter added a 5-yard run.

Syracuse outgained Rutgers 259 to 82 in the first half. Syracuse
sacked Tom Savage five times in the half, two of which came in
the final drive for the Scarlet Knights (7-3, 2-3).
