GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- P.K. Sam ran a twisting, whirling, falling-down pass route for a 52-yard touchdown that lifted Florida State to a 38-34 victory over Florida on Saturday, a spectacular game that was marred by a brawl at midfield after the game ended.
Sam's catch with 55 seconds remaining pushed No. 9 Florida State (10-2) to the 10-win plateau for the first time since 2000. No. 11 Florida (8-4) had its five-game winning streak halted, along with any hopes of sneaking into the SEC title game.
The last touchdown, the third TD throw of the day for Chris Rix, was a thrilling climax to a game that had it all -- great plays, terrible officiating and back-and-forth scoring.
The emotion, however, caught up with the teams: When the Seminoles went to midfield to celebrate, they were greeted by the Gators, who didn't want them jumping up and down on their "F" at midfield. Punches were thrown, helmets went flying.
Gators athletic director Jeremy Foley, FSU sports information director Rob Wilson and several uniformed police jumped in the middle to separate the 100-or-so players.
"I have no idea what happened," Florida coach Ron Zook said. "But I promise you, if our guys were involved, we'll get it straightened out."
There were no immediate reports on injuries from the fight. And hopefully, once tempers settle, this game will be remembered more for the show on the field than what happened afterward.
The lead changed hands four times in the fourth quarter. With 2:55 left, Florida went ahead 34-31 on Ben Troupe's 26-yard touchdown catch from Chris Leak in the back of the end zone. He got one foot down; the official stared hard at the play, and initially brought his arms to the side, as though he were going to call it incomplete.
But he raised his hands to signal a touchdown, one of the few calls that went Florida's way on a day that will surely not grade out well for the Atlantic Coast Conference officiating crew, headed by referee Jack Childress.
The crew made at least three questionable calls on fumbles -- calling players down when they weren't or vise versa -- and absolutely blew at least two more, including giving Seminoles tailback Leon Washington credit for a fumble recovery even though Florida linebacker Channing Crowder sprinted out of the pile with the ball.
Four plays after that call, Rix dove over the line for a touchdown that gave the Seminoles a 31-27 lead. But there were still five minutes left, and the fun was just beginning.
Indeed, it was a barnburner, a game that will be debated and rehashed for years to come, although there's no changing the result now. The Seminoles defeated their archrivals for the fifth time in six years. They are ACC champions and will go into their BCS bowl on a high.
The Gators, meanwhile, won't make it to the SEC title game next week. That honor will officially go to Georgia on Sunday, when the BCS standings are released. Florida's best chance to make it to Atlanta will be if Peach Bowl representatives offer them a bid, as expected.
