No. 3 Florida 70, Citadel 19

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Tim Tebow threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns and Chris Rainey ran for 142 yards and a score. Florida (10-1) scored touchdowns on its first seven possessions, racked up 512 yards in the first half alone and became the first Southeastern Conference team to score at least 42 points in six consecutive games. The Gators finished with 705 yards and did little wrong against an overmatched opponent from the Football Championship Subdivision. Even when they tried to run out the clock to end the opening half, Rainey broke up the middle for a 46-yard gain. Another telling sign of the mismatch came early in the third quarter, when Gators coach Urban Meyer gave defensive tackle Javier Estopinan, a fifth-year senior who has undergone three knee operations and isn’t even listed on the depth chart, a carry near the goal line. Estopinan scored untouched from a yard out, the first touchdown of his career, to make it 56-6.

No. 8 Utah 48, No. 16 BYU 24

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah is BCS bound once again. Brian Johnson passed for 303 and four touchdowns and the eighth-ranked Utes completed a perfect regular season, winning the heated state rivalry and taking the undisputed Mountain West Conference title away from the two-time defending champion Cougars (10-2, 6-2). Utah (12-0, 8-0) forced five turnovers by BYU quarterback Max Hall, including a career-high four interceptions, and went unbeaten in the reglar season for the third time in school history. The last Utah team to do it was the BCS Busters of 2004, which was 11-0 before winning the Fiesta Bowl. The Fiesta is one of the possible bowl destinations for the Utes, who were already No. 7 in the BCS standings and now just have to wait for the announcement Dec. 7.

No. 9 Boise State 41, Nevada 34

RENO, Nev. — Kellen Moore threw for 414 yards and three touchdowns and Boise State kept the nation’s best rushing offense in check to remain undefeated. Moore threw for 319 yards by halftime, when the Broncos led 24-3. Ian Johnson broke free for a 66-yard touchdown run in the third quarter for Boise State, which turned back a late Nevada rally to clinch its sixth WAC title in seven years. The Broncos (10-0, 7-0 WAC) close the regular season next Friday at home against Fresno State. Colin Kaepernick passed for 241 yards and a touchdown and ran for 70 yards for Nevada (6-5, 4-3 WAC).

No. 15 TCU 44, Air Force 10

FORT WORTH, Texas — Andy Dalton threw two touchdown passes and ran for two more scores to give the Horned Frogs another 10-win season. TCU (10-2, 7-1 Mountain West) has its fifth 10-win season in seven years. The senior class won its 40th game, matching the 1932-35 TCU squads for the most in a four-year period, with an undetermined bowl still to play. If not for a 13-10 loss at Utah in their last game 16 days earlier, the Horned Frogs could have been in contention for a spot in the Bowl Championship Series. But they rebounded strong. Air Force (8-4, 5-3) was held to 150 yards rushing — 110 of that coming on only two runs. The Falcons were averaging 279.7 yards per game, fourth-best among FBS teams.

Mississippi 31, No. 18 LSU 13

BATON ROUGE, La. — Jevan Snead threw two touchdown passes, and Markeith Summers ran for a 13-yard score out of the “Wild Rebel” formation to give the Rebels their fourth straight win. Ole Miss (7-4, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) snapped a six-game losing streak against LSU (7-4, 3-4) with its first win in the long rivalry since 2001. It also gave the Rebels the inside track to second-place in the SEC West, which could result in a Cotton Bowl bid. Snead was 16 of 25 for 274 yards. His scoring passes went for 34 and 25 yards, both to Mike Wallace.

N.C. State 41, No. 25 North Carolina 10

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Russell Wilson threw for two touchdowns and had a key run in the third quarter to set up another score, and N.C. State earned the program’s first season sweep of the state’s four other major college teams in more than two decades. Jamelle Eugene ran for two touchdowns and Andre Brown ran for another for N.C. State (5-6, 3-4 Atlantic Coast Conference), which kept its bowl hopes alive with a surprising domination of a team that entered Saturday with slim hopes of winning the league’s muddled Coastal Division race. Instead, the only title anyone was talking about afterward was the mythical “state championship” the Wolfpack had focused on entering the game. N.C. State has beaten North Carolina, Duke, Wake Forest and East Carolina in the same season for the first time since 1986.
