College football wrapup

Tim Tebow accounted for four touchdowns, A.J. Jones had two huge interceptions and top-ranked Florida beat the Bulldogs 41-17 Saturday for its 17th win in the last 20 meetings between the Southeastern Conference rivals at Jacksonville, Fla.

The Gators (8-0, 6-0) extended the nation's longest winning streak to 18 games and clinched at least a share of the SEC East title.

The Bulldogs (4-4, 3-3) lost for the third time in four games.

Also Saturday

No. 5 Cincinnati 28, Syracuse 7: Zach Collaros threw four touchdown passes to get the visiting Bearcats within a win of the best start in school history.

Collaros hit Armon Binns on scoring passes of 81 and 13 yards, Kazeem Alli for 16 yards off a fake field goal, and Adrien Robinson for 4 yards as Cincinnati (8-0, 4-0 Big East) won its 14th straight regular-season game to remain in contention for the national championship.

No. 6 Boise State 45, San Jose State 7: Kellen Moore threw for 278 yards and three touchdowns and ran for another to get the host Broncos their eighth straight win.

Boise State (8-0, 3-0 Western Athletic Conference) also got plenty of help from its defense, which held the Spartans (1-6, 0-3) to 223 total yards and forced two turnovers that led to touchdowns.

No. 7 Iowa 42, Indiana 24: Ricky Stanzi overcame a career-high five interceptions to throw two long touchdown passes in the fourth quarter, helping host Iowa rally past Indiana (4-5, 1-4 Big Ten).

Brandon Wegher had a career-high 118 yards rushing and three TDs for the Hawkeyes (9-0, 5-0).

No. 8 TCU 41, UNLV 0: Andy Dalton threw three touchdown passes, Ed Wesley scored running and catching the ball and the TCU defense smothered visiting UNLV to get its first shutout of the season.

It was another dominating performance for the eighth-ranked Horned Frogs (8-0, 4-0 Mountain West), who probably did enough to stay in position to be this season's BCS buster.

No. 12 Penn State 34, Northwestern 13: Visiting Penn State shut out Northwestern in the second half, and the Nittany Lions scored three fourth-quarter touchdowns in less than four minutes.

Daryll Clark threw a 53-yard TD pass to Derek Moye, and Evan Royster broke off a 69-yard scoring run to highlight the fourth-quarter surge that took 3 minutes, 40 seconds.

Penn State (8-1, 4-1 in the Big Ten) trailed 10-3 in the second quarter when Northwestern quarterback Mike Kafka was forced out with a leg injury.

No. 15 Houston 50, Southern Miss 43: Case Keenum threw for a career-high 559 yards and had five touchdowns, his last coming with 21 seconds remaining.

The host Cougars (7-1, 3-1 Conference USA) led by seven and were driving to put the game away when Korey Williams forced a fumble by Bryce Beall, which Southern Miss recovered on its own 23.

The Golden Eagles (5-4, 3-2) marched downfield and tied it 43-all on a 13-yard reception by Gerald Baptiste with 57 seconds left.

No. 17 Ohio State 45, New Mexico State 0: Dane Sanzenbacher caught two touchdown passes and Terrelle Pryor threw for one and ran for another for the host Buckeyes (7-2).

New Mexico State (3-6), last among all Bowl Subdivision teams in total offense, mustered 62 yards total against the 13th-best defense.

Auburn 33, No. 24 Mississippi 20: Chris Todd passed for 212 yards, Ben Tate ran for 144 yards, and Walt McFadden returned an interception for a touchdown for the host Tigers.

The Tigers (6-3, 3-3 SEC) scored 23 points in the third quarter and turned away Jevan Snead and the Rebels (5-3, 2-3) seven times on drives to midfield or beyond.
