| Texas' McCoy clear Heisman front runner (AP) |
| Texas coach Mack Brown likes to talk about Colt McCoy's 81 percent completion rate, noting that it would be hard to do against air, let alone a college defense. McCoy might have had a tougher time against air than he did against Missouri. "Phenomenal," Brown said after McCoy's latest brilliance in a 56-31 rout of No. -- read full article |

| Tide try to correct second-half letdowns (AP) |
| It's not the worst problem for a team to have, but No. 2 Alabama is going from world beater to survival mode after halftime. The result is close, nerve-racking wins like Saturday's 24-20 victory over Mississippi that was 24-3 by halftime before mistakes started kicking in. So far it has been enough to frustrate coach Nick Saban but not cost the Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 Southeastern Conference) its... -- read full article |

| No. 13 LSU clamps down, beats Gamecocks (AP) |
| LSU's defense wasn't going to let this one get away. The No. 13 Tigers held South Carolina to minus-7 yards in the fourth quarter and sacked first-time Gamecocks starter Stephen Garcia six times in a 24-17 victory Saturday night. With LSU (5-1, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) down by seven at halftime after allowing two touchdowns in the last 3 minutes of the second quarter, end Kirston Pittman said... -- read full article |

| USC wins 69-0 as Sanchez has 5 TD passes (AP) |
| Two hours before kickoff, Southern California's players menacingly rocked their buses, as if they couldn't wait to get on the field.

Mark Sanchez became the first USC quarterback to throw five touchdown passes in a half and the focused No. -- read full article |

| Maryland hands No. 21 Wake rare shutout (AP) |
| Maryland played so well against No. 21 Wake Forest, it was almost impossible to single out offense, defense or special teams in the most significant win of an up-and-down season. "We finally put a full game together. I think by far it's the best we've played all year," coach Ralph Friedgen said after the Terrapins cruised to a 26-0 victory on Saturday. -- read full article |

| Late stand gets No. 2 Tide past Ole Miss (AP) |
| Turns out No. 2 Alabama plays pretty well from behind. It's playing from ahead that gave the Crimson Tide fits Saturday. 'Bama surged to a big halftime lead after trailing for the first time all season, then let most of it slip away before coming up with a late defensive stand to hold off Mississippi for a 24-20 victory. -- read full article |

| No. 12 Buckeyes rout No. 20 Michigan St. (AP) |
| Terrelle Pryor became the first player to tell Ohio State coach Jim Tressel to bench him if he didn't produce. Then, the Buckeyes' quarterback made the request moot against Michigan State. Pryor turned some of his potential into production, running for a score and throwing for another in the first quarter to help the 12th-ranked Buckeyes build a four-touchdown lead en route to a 45-7 win Saturday... -- read full article |

| No. 10 Georgia holds off No. 22 Vandy (AP) |
| Knowshon Moreno had his best game of the season. A.J. Green came up huge. Still, Georgia struggled to put another opponent away. The Bulldogs better step it up: LSU and Florida are next. Moreno rushed for a season-high 172 yards and the freshman Green had 132 yards receiving, but 10th-ranked Georgia struggled for a 24-14 victory over Vanderbilt on Saturday. -- read full article |

| Bradford's 468 yards, 3 TDs lift Sooners (AP) |
| By the time he's done, Sam Bradford may erase Josh Heupel's name from the Oklahoma record books entirely. Bradford passed for an Oklahoma-record 468 yards and had three touchdown passes to help the No. 4 Sooners bounce back from their first loss by beating No. 16 Kansas 45-31 on Saturday.

| No. 1 Texas beats No. 11 Missouri 56-31 (AP) |
| Sometime during the week, the top-ranked Texas Longhorns dug a hole in a secret spot and buried the game ball from their big win over Oklahoma. Then, with the hype symbolically disposed of, the Longhorns went out and buried No. 11 Missouri. Using a stunning first half, Texas raced to a 35-point lead before cruising to a 56-31 victory Saturday night that left little doubt these Longhorns plan to be... -- read full article |

| A frustrated Les Miles snapped on the tape of LSU's worst loss in six years the day after it happened, poised to find problems galore with his national champs. But by the time he finished, the Tigers coach had uncovered more hope than worry. Miles painstakingly replayed each down, no matter how painful to watch his team's 51-21 defeat at Florida last Saturday night, and marked down the number of... -- read full article |
