Buckeyes fall to Michigan State

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Michael Geiger kicked a 41-yard field goal as time expired and No. 9 Michigan State, playing without injured quarterback Connor Cook, beat No. 2 Ohio State 17-14 on Saturday to snap the Buckeyes' 23-game winning streak.

The Spartans (10-1, 6-1 Big Ten, No. 9 CFP) took control of the Big Ten East, jumped into the thick of the College Football Playoff race and very likely ended the Buckeyes' chances to repeat as national champions.

No. 1 Clemson 33, Wake Forest 13

CLEMSON, S.C. -- Deshaun Watson threw three touchdown passes and ran for a another score, and Clemson topped 500 yards of offense for the seventh straight game.

Watson started the scoring with a 3-yard run, then connected on TD passes of 44 yards to Charone Peake, 11 yards to Deon Cain and 47 yards to Germone Hopper. The Tigers (11-0, 8-0 Atlantic Coast Conference. No. 1 CFP) gained 506 yards against a defense that held Notre Dame to 282 yards last season.

No. 3 Alabama 56, Charleston Southern 6

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Cyrus Jones returned two punts for touchdowns and Derrick Henry also scored twice in Alabama's romp over Charleston.

The Crimson Tide (10-1, No. 2 CFP) led 49-0 by halftime against the Buccaneers (9-2), who are bound for the FCS playoffs. Alabama is hoping to join them in the FBS version and can clinch an SEC West title with a victory next week at Auburn.

No. 10 Baylor 45, No. 4 Oklahoma State 35

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Backup quarterback Chris Johnson threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score, and Baylor beat previously unbeaten Oklahoma State.

Baylor (9-1, 6-1 Big 12, No. 10 CFP) remained in the mix for the conference title, while Oklahoma State (10-1, 7-1, No. 6 CFP) likely is out of playoff conversation.

No. 5 Notre Dame 19, Boston College 16

BOSTON -- DeShone Kizer threw for two touchdowns -- and three interceptions -- and Notre Dame survived five turnovers to beat Boston College at Fenway Park.

Taking over the ballpark of the Boston Red Sox for a far-flung home game, the Fighting Irish (10-1, No. 4 CFP) won their sixth straight game since a two-point loss to top-ranked Clemson.

No. 6 Iowa 40, Purdue 20

IOWA CITY, Iowa -- C.J. Beathard threw three touchdown passes and Iowa beat Purdue to wrap up the Big Ten West title and a spot in the conference championship game.

LeShun Daniels Jr. ran for two TDs for the Hawkeyes (11-0, 7-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP).

No. 8 Florida 20, Florida Atlantic 14, OT

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Treon Harris threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Jake McGee in overtime to lift Florida past Florida Atlantic.

The Gators (10-1, No. 8 CFP) were favored by more than 30 points, but were sluggish the whole game. In overtime, Florida scored on its third play but the extra point attempt was blocked.

No. 12 North Carolina 30, Virginia Tech 27, OT

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- Marquise Williams hit Quinshad Davis with a 5-yard pass in overtime and No. 12 North Carolina spoiled retiring coach Frank Beamer's final home game at Virginia Tech.

The Tar Heels (10-1, 7-0 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 17 CFP) won their 10th in a row and wrapped up the Coastal Division title after blowing a 14-point lead in the final 3 minutes of regulation.

UConn 20, No. 13 Houston 17

EAST HARTFORD, Conn. -- Noel Thomas caught two touchdown passes, including a 45-yarder on a trick play in the fourth quarter, and UConn beat Houston.

No. 14 Michigan 28, Penn State 16

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Jake Rudock threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns for Michigan.

No. 16 Florida State 52, Chattanooga 13

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Sean Maguire threw two touchdown passes and Dalvin Cook had his seventh 100-yard rushing game and added two more scores for Florida State.

No. 25 Mississippi 38, No. 17 LSU 17

OXFORD, Miss. -- Chad Kelly threw for 280 yards and two touchdowns and Mississippi beat LSU, giving the Tigers their first three-game losing streak since 1999.

SALT LAKE CITY -- Josh Rosen threw for 220 yards and a touchdown and UCLA beat Utah to move a game closer to the Pac-12 championship game.

No. 19 Navy 44, Tulsa 21

TULSA, Okla. -- Quarterback Keenan Reynolds ran for 81 yards and a touchdown while directing a Navy offense that rolled up 512 yards.

No. 20 Northwestern 13, No. 21 Wisconsin 7

MADISON, Wis. -- Justin Jackson ran for 139 yards and a touchdown, and Northwestern used a goal-line stand to hold off Wisconsin.

No. 23 Oregon 48, No. 22 USC 28

EUGENE, Ore. -- Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 407 yards and six touchdowns and Oregon beat Southern California for its fifth straight victory.
