TOP 25 roundup \ Saturday’s games

No. 1 Florida 24, South Carolina 14

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tim Tebow tied the Southeastern Conference touchdown record and No. 1 Florida gained its first perfect league season in 13 years. The Gators (10-0, 8-0) remained on track for a third national title in four years.

No. 2 Texas 47, Baylor 14

WACO, Texas — Colt McCoy tied the NCAA record for career victories by a starting quarterback, throwing two touchdown passes for Texas. McCoy is 42-7 in his career, tying the wins record set by former Georgia quarterback David Greene.

No. 3 Alabama 31, Mississippi St. 3

STARKVILLE, Miss. — Mark Ingram rushed for 149 yards and two touchdowns, Greg McElroy threw two long scoring passes and Alabama improved to 10-0 for the second straight year. Mark Barron made his fifth and six interceptions of the season, most in the Southeastern Conference, and helped the Crimson Tide (7-0 SEC) smother the Bulldogs (4-6, 2-4).

No. 4 TCU 55, No. 16 Utah 28

FORT WORTH, Texas — In likely its last significant hurdle to an undefeated regular season, TCU scored three touchdowns in a 2 1/2-minute span early in the second quarter and beat Utah.

No. 6 Boise St. 63, Idaho 25

BOISE, Idaho — Kellen Moore threw four touchdown passes to Austin Pettis and tied a career high with five overall, leading Boise State to the victory. Titus Young had a 100-yard kickoff return that was actually longer and Kyle Wilson returned an interception 71 yards for another score for the big-play Broncos (10-0, 5-0 WAC), who beat their rivals for the 11th consecutive time.

No. 7 Georgia Tech 49, Duke 10

DURHAM, N.C. — Jonathan Dwyer rushed for 110 yards and two touchdowns, Josh Nesbitt accounted for three scores and Georgia Tech clinched a spot in the ACC championship game. Orwin Smith returned a kickoff 83 yards to spark the slow-starting Yellow Jackets (10-1, 7-1).

No. 9 LSU 24, Louisiana Tech 16

BATON ROUGE, La. — Keiland Williams ran for 116 yards and two second-half touchdowns, helping fend off upset-minded Louisiana Tech.

No. 25 Stanford 55, No. 11 USC 21

LOS ANGELES — Toby Gerhart rushed for 178 yards and three touchdowns and Stanford emphatically followed up its 2007 upset at the Coliseum with the most points ever allowed by the Trojans. The loss was the Trojans’ worst since a 51-0 defeat at home against Notre Dame in 1966 and essentially ended USC’s seven-year run as Pac-10 champions.

North Carolina 33, No. 12 Miami 24

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Kendric Burney returned one of his three interceptions for a 77-yard touchdown and his third pick resulted in a bizarre fourth-quarter score that helped North Carolina get the win.

Central Florida 37, No. 13 Houston 32

ORLANDO, Fla. — Central Florida’s Brett Hodges outplayed Cougars quarterback Case Keenum and Brynn Harvey rushed for 139 yards and three touchdowns, helping UCF stop Houston’s five-game winning streak.

California 24, No. 18 Arizona 16

BERKELEY, Calif. — Shane Vereen scored on a 61-yard run after an odd penalty thwarted a potential go-ahead drive for Arizona and California went on to victory without star running back Jahvid Best.

No. 20 Virginia Tech 36, Maryland 9

COLLEGE PARK, Md. — Tyrod Taylor threw for 268 yards and a career-high three touchdowns, and Virginia Tech built an early 24-point lead before coasting to the victory. Taylor threw each of his TD passes in the opening 23 minutes to help Virginia Tech (7-3, 4-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) go up 27-3.

No. 22 BYU 24, New Mexico 19

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Max Hall passed for two touchdowns and got his 29th win at BYU to match Heisman Trophy winner Ty Detmer’s school record. The Cougars (8-2, 5-1 Mountain West) held off a focused effort by the Lobos (0-10, 0-6).

No. 24 Clemson 43, NC State 23

RALEIGH, N.C. — C.J. Spiller became the first player in Clemson history to record a touchdown passing, rushing and receiving in the same game.
