MIAMI -- Tennessee knocked Miami out of the national championship picture Saturday for the first time in four years.
Derrick Tinsley scored on fourth down and the No. 18 Volunteers upset the sixth-ranked Hurricanes 10-6, ending the nation's longest home-winning streak at 26 games.
The Hurricanes failed to score a touchdown at home for the first time since 1984. It also was the first time since a 47-0 drubbing at Florida State in 1997 that Miami (7-2) failed to scored a touchdown in any game. And they looked bad doing it.
Brock Berlin threw two interceptions and fumbled once -- and probably lost his starting job for the rest of the season. The Hurricanes also had 12 penalties for 121 yards, including a key one that helped Tennessee score its only touchdown.
Tennessee (7-2) capitalized on just about all of Miami's mistakes -- much like Virginia Tech did last week in snapping the Hurricanes' 39-game regular-season winning streak.
Kevin Simon intercepted a pass from Berlin on the first play of the second quarter, and James Wilhoit kicked a 41-yard field goal five plays later to tie the game at 3.
The Volunteers made it 10-3 just before the half with a 15-play drive that took more than nine minutes.
The Hurricanes, widely considered on of college football's most undisciplined teams, was penalized 15 yards for roughing the punter to keep the drive alive. Tennessee picked up another 15 yards on a personal foul after an incomplete pass on second-and-12.
Instead of facing third down, the Vols were in field-goal range. On the ensuing play, Vince Wilfork jumped off sides for the second time in the game. After five consecutive runs and then a timeout, coach Phillip Fulmer decided to go for it on fourth-and-goal from the 2.
Receiver Derrick Tinsley scored on an end around, and the Vols led 10-3.
The Hurricanes nearly tied it on a the final play of the first half, but Berlin's pass to Kellen Winslow dropped out of the tight end's hands in the end zone.
No. 17 Florida 35, Vanderbilt 17
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Ciatrick Fason scored twice, Keiwan Ratliff returned an interception for a score and Florida kept its surprising Southeastern Conference title hopes alive.
Ratliff, who played high school football in Columbus, has relatives in Youngstown.
Florida (7-3, 5-2) won its fourth straight game and moved alone into first place in the SEC East, one game ahead of idle Georgia (4-2) in the win column and two in front of Tennessee (3-2).
Chris Leak threw for 179 yards and Ran Carthon ran for 79 more.
Vanderbilt (1-9, 0-6) lost its 23rd straight SEC game and stayed in line to lose 11 games for the first time in the history of its beleaguered program.
No. 19 Nebraska 24, Kansas 3
LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Judd Davies scored two touchdowns and Nebraska took advantage of a rash of penalties to beat Kansas for the 35th consecutive time.
The Huskers (8-2, 4-2 Big 12) have beaten Kansas (5-5, 2-4) every year since 1969, the second strongest streak major colleges to Notre Dame's 40-game streak against Navy.
True freshman Adam Barmann was 24-for-34 for 204 yards, but threw three interceptions in his second game for Kansas. Barmann threw for 294 yards and four touchdowns in his debut last week at Texas A & amp;M.
The Jayhawks were penalized eight times for 78 yards while Nebraska drew eight flags for 87. Typically, the crowd of 50,107 was crammed with Nebraska fans. Eight of the 12 biggest football crowds at Kansas have come against Nebraska.
The Jayhawks appeared to be going in for a touchdown that could have tied the game at 10 in the second quarter. But on second-and-5 from the 7, Barmann threw the ball right to Nebraska's Daniel Bullocks on the 1.
The Huskers -- aided by three major penalties -- drove all the way to a first-and-goal from the 6. Then as fullback Steve Kriewald bulled into the end zone, Kansas' Tony Stubbs knocked the ball loose and recovered the fumble himself for a touchback.
But the momentum and field position swung right back to the Huskers when Mark Simmons had Barmann's pass bounce off his hands to Nebraska safety Josh Bullocks, who made his NCAA-leading ninth interception on the 38.
The Huskers, aided by a 15-yard personal foul penalty on Kansas, needed four plays to score, with Davies going into the end zone on a 3-yard run for a 17-3 lead with 1:06 to go in the third.
No. 20 Mississippi 24, Auburn 20
AUBURN, Ala. -- Brandon Jacobs had a 1-yard touchdown run with 2:39 left, and Ben Obomanu dropped a pass in the end zone on Auburn's final drive, giving Mississippi the victory Saturday.
The Rebels moved to 6-0 in the Southeastern Conference for the first time since 1962 and remain in position for their first Western Division title.
It took a brilliant 80-yard drive by Eli Manning and some luck for Ole Miss (8-2) to pull off its second victory over the fading Tigers (6-4, 4-2) in the last 11 meetings.
The Tigers drove all the way to the 3, thanks mostly to a terrific 50-yard catch-and-run by Obomanu. On third-and-2, Campbell rolled right and, with two defenders in pursuit, spotted a wide-open Obomanu in the end zone. The ball hit the receiver in the numbers and bounced off. On fourth down, a nearly identical play ended with Campbell forced to loft it toward Jeris McIntyre, but Eric Oliver batted it away at the last second.
