ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia may not get a spot in the national title game, but the fifth-ranked Bulldogs sure played like champions Saturday.
Georgia built a 34-0 halftime lead and cruised to a 51-7 rout of Georgia Tech -- the most points the Bulldogs have ever scored against their state rival.
Georgia (11-1) ensured its first 11-win season since 1982, which also was the last time the school won a Southeastern Conference title. The Bulldogs will get a chance to end that drought next Saturday in the SEC championship game against Arkansas, right down the road at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta.
Georgia also can expect to move up to third place when the new BCS standings are released Monday, courtesy of Oklahoma State's 38-28 upset of No. 3 Oklahoma.
But that will be as high as Georgia gets, unless No. 1 Miami loses to Virginia Tech next weekend. Otherwise, the best the Bulldogs can do is a spot in the Sugar Bowl.
Georgia Tech (7-5) doesn't have to worry about such lofty goals after enduring its worst defeat since a 49-3 rout by Florida State in 1996. The Yellow Jackets are eligible for their sixth straight bowl appearance, but they'll probably have to settle for a return trip to Seattle Bowl.
Musa Smith ran for 121 yards and became the first Georgia back since Garrison Hearst in 1992 to reach 1,000 yards in a season.
David Greene completed 10 of 14 passes for 205 yards and a touchdown. Senior fullback J.T. Wall, normally a blocker, added a couple of TD runs.
UNLV 36, No. 16 Colorado St. 33
FORT COLLINS, Colo. -- Larry Croom ran for 222 yards and a touchdown, and DeJhown Mandley caught a 29-yard touchdown pass with 46 seconds left.
Croom had 146 yards in the second half and scored on a 3-yard run in the first. The Rebels (5-7, 3-4 Mountain West) had 390 yards rushing to beat Colorado State for the first time since 1982, a span of seven games.
Colorado State (10-3, 6-1), which wrapped up the conference title last week, had its six-game winning streak end. The Rams can still tie the school record for victories in a season at the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 31.
Colorado State's Cecil Sapp, who has been bothered by turf toe the last two weeks, had 157 yards on 31 carries. He has 1,495 yards this season, 76 more than Steve Bartalo's 1986 team record.
No. 22 Virginia Tech 21, Virginia 9
BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Lee Suggs ran for two touchdowns and No. 22 Virginia Tech found its defense Saturday, shutting down Matt Schaub and beating rival Virginia for the fourth consecutive year.
The Hokies (9-3) ended a three-game losing streak -- their longest in a decade -- by holding the Cavaliers to 203 yards and getting a touchdown from their special teams to go with Suggs' 51st and 52nd career TDs.
The Cavaliers (8-5), seeking their third consecutive victory against a Top 25 team, led 3-0 in the first quarter and struggled after that. The Cavaliers' only other scoring drive covered 29 yards after a fumble recovery.
Schaub, named the ACC's player of the year earlier in the week, completed 12 of 23 passes in the gusting wind, but for just 43 yards. He also ended a third-quarter drive by throwing his first interception in 110 passes when Garnell Wilds grabbed the pass intended for Billy McMullen.
Wali Lundy gained a career-high 127 yards on 29 carries for Virginia.
No. 25 Maryland 32, Wake Forest 14
COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- Maryland put on a terrific show for the Peach Bowl scouts.
Scott McBrien threw for 257 yards and two touchdowns in the first half alone, helping the 25th-ranked Terrapins take a 27-point lead and earn a Peach Bowl berth by beating Wake Forest.
The victory gave Maryland a second straight 10-win season for the first time in school history and earned the Terrapins (10-3, 6-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) a trip to Atlanta for the Dec. 31 postseason game.
Several Peach Bowl representatives attended the game, and they gathered at midfield after the final whistle to issue a formal invitation to the Terrapins.
Wake Forest (6-6, 3-5), which probably needed a victory to earn a bowl berth, instead suffered its fourth consecutive loss to the Terrapins.
