No. 1 Oklahoma 12, Oklahoma State 7 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
On fourth-and-goal from the 12, Oklahoma cornerback Derrick Strait broke up a pass in the end zone intended for Marcellus Rivers with just over 3½ minutes to play. Until then, OU was starring an unthinkable loss in the Cowboys' eyes.	Call it a "Season Ball", because nobody on the OU sideline deserved one Saturday. But the Sooners will have a nice "11-0" "2000 Regular Season" painted on a pigskin somewhere in their trophy case. As for a "12-0" "Big 12 Champion", or "13-0" "National Champions" balls ... you'll have to stay tuned.	Dec. 2 vs. Kansas State in Big 12 Championship game; Kansas City, Mo.

No. 2 Miami (Fla.) 52, Boston College 6 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
The Canes knew they had to run up the score to convince the computer it was worthy of an invite to the national championship game. After trailing 6-3 early in the second quarter, Miami scored 21 points in both the second and third quarters.	Both Ken Dorsey and Santana Moss, who hooked up twice for TD scores. Dorsey finished with a career-high five touchdown passes, tying both Bernie Kosar and Steve Walsh for the school record. Moss became the Canes' all-time leader in career yards, breaking Otis Anderson's career record set in 1978. Moss had 235 all-purpose yards and now has 4,402 total yards.	End of regular season; bowl game TBD.

No. 5 Virginia Tech 42, Virginia 21 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
The Hokies built steam in the second quarter. Trailing 14-7 after the first period, Virginia Tech was dominant on both sides of the ball in the second, scoring 21 unanswered points to lead by two TDs at the half.	Michael Vick returned from injury ... and was over shadowed by Lee Suggs, who continued his remarkable sophomore season with four more touchdowns. Suggs, who scored on runs of 30, 3 and 6 yards and a 23-yard pass, has 28 TDs this season.	End of regular season; bowl game TBD

No. 8 Nebraska 34, Colorado 32 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Josh Brown kicked a 29-yard field goal as time expired, capping a drive that started at the Nebraska 41 with 44 seconds left after Colorado had taken the lead with a touchdown and a 2-point conversion.	While Brown supplied the winning points, Eric Crouch got the Huskers' kicker in range with the last few tricks in his bag of magic. Crouch rushed for 125 yards and 3 TDs. And while he did not have a great day passing, finishing 11-for-17 for 139 yards, he was nearly perfect in the final drive, going 3 for 4. Crouch's 17-yard sideline pass to Bobby Newcombe with less than 10 seconds left set up Brown's field goal.	End of regular season; Bowl game TBD.

No. 10 Notre Dame 38, USC 21 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
The Irish went 80 yards -- all on the ground -- for a 2-yard run by Julius Jones and 38-21 lead with 2:57 left. The win was Notre Dame's first in Los Angeles since 1992. Losses to the Trojans at the Coliseum in 1996 and 1998 cost them lucrative bowl bids, but it was a different story on this sunny day.	Bob Davie, who many thought wouldn't last the season in South Bend. But after enduring an OT loss to then-No. 1 Nebraska, and going 3-2 over the nation's toughest five games to start the season, the Irish are likely headed to a BCS bowl game with a 9-2 record. The Irish were 5-7 last season.	End of regular season; Bowl game TBD.

No. 13 Texas 43, No. 22 Texas A&M 17 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Chris Simms hooked up with B.J. Johnson on a 70-yard bomb to cap an explosive third quarter and give the Longhorns' a 37-17 lead heading into the final 15 minutes.	Chris Simms, who was a perfect 8-for-8 passing for 234 yards and threw all three of his touchdown passes in the third quarter. Simms finished with 383 yards passing.	End of regular season; Bowl game TBD.

No. 15 TCU 62, SMU 7 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
TCU scored six straight touchdowns in the second and third quarters.	Where do we start? LaDainian Tomlinson sealed his second straight NCAA rushing title, went over 2,000 yards for the season and had a 74-yard touchdown run. Casey Printers threw a career-high four touchdown passes. He also ran for a touchdown. Oh, and LaTarence Dunbar returned a kickoff 108 yards for a TD, but you won't find that in the NCAA record book. College rules will credit him with a 100-yard return.	Dec. 20 vs. Southern Mississippi in Mobile Alabama Bowl.

No. 19 Georgia Tech 27, No. 18 Georgia 15 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
In this intense rivalry, the Yellow Jackets' 27-3 halftime lead didn't seem safe, but it was. As a result, Tech posted its third straight win over the Bulldogs, something that hadn't happened since 1961-63. It also quietly won its final seven games of the season.	Tech quarterback George Godsey, who completed 20 of 35 passes for 222 yards, virtually all of his significant work coming in the decisive first half. He scored on a 33-yard TD run to get Tech on the board and then hooked up with Kerry Watkins on an 8-yard TD pass in the first quarter.	Dec. 29 in Peach Bowl vs. TBD.

Mississippi 45, No. 23 Mississippi State 30 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Deuce McAllister vaulted into the end zone from a yard out to make it 42-30 with 6:53 left in the game. His TD came two plays after Mississippi State punter Prentiss Cole fumbled a snap to give Ole Miss the ball at the Bulldogs' 8.	Deuce McAllister, who ran for three touchdowns and threw for another. He finished with 121 yards after injuries had limited him to just 646 yards coming into the annual Egg Bowl.	End of regular season; Bowl game TBD.

No. 24 Tennessee 28, Vanderbilt 26 RECAP
IT WAS OVER WHEN...	GAME BALL GOES TO...	UP NEXT
Not as soon as it may have appeared. Tennessee led 21-6 when Greg Zolman almost singlehandedly brought Vanderbilt back with 20 fourth-quarter points.	Travis Henry, who scored two touchdowns and rushed for 184 yards. He went over the 3,000-yard mark with his third carry of the third quarter, a 60-yarder that was his longest this season. Henry is the only back to top 3,000 yards rushing in a career for the Vols and the 20th in SEC history.	End of regular season; Bowl game TBD.
