  Oklahoma Football   Sategna has often been the spark the Sooners have needed, and he was again on Saturday. He had a 35-yard punt return in the third quarter before Burks' touchdown, then scored on the long catch. His team-leading season totals improved to 65 catches, 948 yards and seven touchdowns receiving and 1,276 all-purpose yards. - AP College Football

  Vanderbilt Football   Diego Pavia threw for 268 yards and a touchdown and ran for 165 yards and another score to lead No. 12 Vanderbilt to a 45-24 win over No. 18 Tennessee on Saturday. Vanderbilt secured its first 10-win season with its highest-scoring game against Tennessee since 1923. Sedrick Alexander rushed for 115 yards and three touchdowns and Vanderbilt (10-2, 6-2 SEC, No. 14 CFP) generated 582 yards of total offense against its in-state rival while keeping its hopes for a berth in the College Football Playoff alive. "Well, a lot of people thought I was a fool (being confident in his team against the Vols)," said Pavia. "But, all it takes is faith, and I feel He gave me a vision. He gave me a platform. It felt good to come in and back it up." Joey Aguilar threw for 299 yards and a TD for the Volunteers (8-4, 4-4, No. 19 CFP). DeSean Bishop had 97 rushing yards and two scores. The game was tied at 21 at halftime before Alexander scored from 5 yards out midway through the third quarter. The Commodores held the ball for the first 6 minutes, 35 seconds of the third quarter. After a three-and-out by the Vandy defense, Pavia broke free for a 24-yard TD run that gave the Commodores a comfortable lead. - Vanderbilt/AP College Football

  Oregon Football   Oregon may not have a chance to prove whether it is the Big Ten's best next Saturday at the conference's championship game, but its latest showing was representative of the fifth-ranked Ducks potential. Malik Benson had a season-long 64-yard touchdown catch with 7:55 to go in regulation and Oregon beat Washington 26-14 on Saturday to all but cement a spot in the College Football Playoff. The wide receiver caught a pass from Dante Moore around midfield, split two Huskies defenders and raced to the end zone to give Oregon (11-1, 8-1 Big Ten, No. 6 CFP) a 26-14 lead. The Ducks have won in myriad ways in 2025, save a 30-20 loss to No. 2 Indiana on Oct. 11. They survived a driving rainstorm and Iowa's upset bid in an 18-16 win on Nov. 8, thanks to a 39-yard field goal by Atticus Sappington as time expired. On Saturday, Sappington was a hero again. He made a career-high four field goals, including one from a career-long 51 yards that increased Oregon's lead to 19-7. Sappington and Benson were hardly alone, though, in guiding the Ducks to their third straight season with 11 or more wins. Oregon was again on upset alert when Demond Williams Jr. threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Boston with 8:54 remaining in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit for Washington (8-4, 5-4) to 19-14.

But the Ducks responded quickly with Benson's catch-and-run and then turned Washington's offense over on downs before defensive back Dillon Thieneman intercepted Williams with 1:27 remainingr. It was one of two interceptions for coach Dan Lanning's defense, which limited Williams to a season-low 129 passing yards. The last two weeks, Moore completed 82% of his passes for 563 yards and four touchdowns with one interception. On Saturday, he completed 20 of 29 passes for 286 yards, as well as scored a one-yard touchdown run in the second quarter. The victory was Oregon's nation best 12th straight true road win under coach Dan Lanning, and second win overall in five years against the Huskies. Washington, which leads the series against Oregon 63-50-5, dropped its second home game of the season. Coach Jedd Fisch and the Huskies had their 22-game home winning streak broken by No. 1 Ohio State earlier this year. - Oregon/AP College Football

  Texas Christian Football   Josh Hoover threw four touchdown passes, Jeremy Payne ran for 174 yards and two scores and TCU beat Cincinnati 45-23 on Saturday night in a regular-season finale delayed about 90 minutes in the first quarter by lightning and rain. The Bearcats (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) finished the regular season on a four-game losing streak that started when they were ranked 17th and poised for a run to the Big 12 championship game, and possibly a spot in the College Football Playoff. Hoover answered the first of Brendan Sorsby's three TD tosses with a 69-yard scoring pass to Jordan Dwyer that gave the Horned Frogs (8-4, 5-4) a 21-7 lead late in the first quarter. TCU led 7-0 on Hoover's 3-yard touchdown pass to Joseph Manjack IV and had just taken possession on a punt midway through the first quarter when a lightning strike prompted a weather delay that included heavy rain. When play resumed on a soggy field, Hoover connected with Payne on a 44-yard catch and run and capped the 81-yard drive with a 17-yard scoring toss to Eric McAlister. Payne finished with 218 total yards. Leading 21-14 in the second quarter, the Horned Frogs had first-and-goal at the 1 when Hoover and Jon Denman were stuffed on the first two plays.

Hoover was stopped short again on third down and shoved his hand into the face mask of Antwan Peek Jr. in the pile, drawing an unsportsmanlike penalty that forced TCU to settle for a field goal instead of going for it on fourth down. The quarterback tried pleading his case to the officials and Dykes, appearing to say somebody had already jammed their hand under his face mask before he pushed back. Even Hoover's coach didn't seem swayed by the argument. Hoover, who came into the game with a Big 12-worst 13 interceptions, was 19 of 22 for 306 yards without a pick. McAlister finished with 101 yards on eight grabs, and Dwyer was credited with a second touchdown when he recovered Joseph Manjack IV's fumble in the end zone in the third quarter. Manjack covered the first 42 of the 44 yards before losing the ball as he was going down. Sorsby, who was 23 of 33 for 282 yards without an interception, scrambled 41 yards and threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Cyrus Allen on a 94-yard drive that pulled the Bearcats within 38-23 early in the fourth quarter. Payne, who had a 9-yard TD run for a 31-17 lead in the final minute of the third quarter, put the game out of reach with a 51-yard score. - TCU/AP College Football

  Washington Football   Running back Adam Mohammed proved that as his sophomore year winds to a close, he is capable of being a feature running back in 2026. After eclipsing 25 yards only one time the first eight games of the season, Mohammed totaled at least 50 rushing yards in each of his last four games of the season. - AP College Football

  Washington Football   In addition to holding Williams to 129 passing yards, Oregon sacked the Washington quarterback four times. He completed just 50% of his passes, notable considering Williams entered the game sixth in the country in completion percentage. For as solid a first season as Washington's starter as it was for Williams, he struggled on the road and against the Big Ten's best. In the Huskies' four losses this season, Williams had three touchdowns and six interceptions. In eight Washington wins, Williams threw 18 touchdowns and two interceptions. - AP College Football

  Kennesaw State Football   Amari Odom threw a 25-yard touchdown pass to Christian Moss on the first play of a second overtime and Kennesaw State's defense did the rest in a 48-42 victory over Liberty on Saturday in a regular-season finale. Odom misfired on the mandatory two-point conversion for the Owls (9-3, 7-1), who found out at halftime they'd be playing in the Conference USA title game after Western Kentucky lost 37-34 to regular-season champion Jacksonville State. But it didn't matter. Baron Hopson tackled Evan Dickens for a 1-yard loss on first down. Tywon Christopher held Dickens to a yard on his second carry and then teamed up with Elijah Hill for a sack. Michael Merdinger threw incomplete to end it.

Odom completed 14 of 23 passes for 240 yards and four touchdowns. He had a 12-yard touchdown pass to Gabriel Benyard in the first quarter and a 25-yarder on first down in the first OT. It was Benyard's school-record ninth touchdown catch this season. Odom added a 9-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter and finished with 72 yards on 13 carries. Coleman Bennett rushed 14 times for 92 yards and a score. Bennett also had a touchdown catch. Dickens, a sophomore, carried 43 times for 267 yards and four touchdowns for Liberty (4-8, 3-5). It was the third most yards gained in school history. Dickens raced 95 yards for a touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter to put the Flames up 28-21. Liberty got the ball back at its own 29 with 2:20 to go, but Jay Billingsley missed a 32-yard field goal with 5 seconds left to force OT. Merdinger finished with 212 yards and a touchdown on 12-for-21 passing. - Kennesaw State/AP College Football

  Army Football   Cale Hellums threw the first touchdown pass to an Army tight end since 2008 for the go-ahead score in a 27-24 victory over UTSA on Saturday. Hellums completed two fourth-down passes during a 13-play, 75-yard drive that took over six minutes and ended with his 4-yard toss to Parker Poloskey with 2:49 to go. UTSA's final drive ended on downs. Army (6-5, 4-4 American) had to have the win in this conference finale to become bowl eligible as matchups are announced Dec. 7, before the Black Knights' regular-season finale against Navy on Dec. 13 in Baltimore.

Owen McCown threw a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to rally UTSA (6-6, 4-4), taking a 24-20 lead on his 7-yard pass to Jamel Hardy. The Roadrunners had cut the Black Knights' lead to 20-17 on McCown's 8-yard toss to Patrick Overmyer. Army trailed 10-0 early then scored 17 straight points before halftime beginning with Noah Short taking a pitch and running for an 81-yard score. Jaydan Mayes took a tipped pass and ran it back for a 73-yard pick-6. USTA wide receiver David Amador II threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Overmyer for the game's first points. Short rushed for 127 yards on 14 carries and Hellums added 90 on 23. Hellums threw just 10 passes, completing four, including the three crucial ones in the fourth quarter. Dawson Jones kicked two field goals. McCown was 27-of-40 for 266 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. The loss snapped UTSA's run of 25 straight home wins against conference opponents, which had been the longest such streak in the FBS. - Army/AP College Football

  Duke Football   Darian Mensah reached a record-setting passing touchdown total for Duke as the Blue Devils stayed alive for a chance at an Atlantic Coast Conference championship by defeating Wake Forest 49-32 on Saturday. Duke (7-5, 6-2 ACC) can reach next week's ACC title game if a couple of results in the conference fall its way later Saturday night. Mensah also ran for his first TD of the season. The transfer from Tulane finished the game 24-for-35 passing for 268 yards in the air. Anderson Castle and Nate Sheppard each had two touchdown runs and the Blue Devils never trailed in defeating Wake Forest (8-4, 4-4) for the fourth year in a row. Sahmir Hagans caught a touchdown pass and made an 80-yard kickoff return to set up the first points of the fourth quarter. Robby Ashford threw for two touchdowns and 342 yards and ran for a touchdown and a two-point conversion, but Wake Forest's three-game winning streak ended. The Demon Deacons committed four turnovers - including a fumble at the Duke 18-yard line with 6:38 left and were hit with 97 yards worth of penalties. Duke, which used a fake field goal to set up the winning touchdown a week earlier at North Carolina, pulled off a successful fake punt with less than 10 minutes to go with punter Kade Reynoldson running for a first down. The Blue Devils didn't score on the drive but chewed up an extra 2½ minutes while holding a 42-32 lead. Mensah's third-quarter touchdown pass to Hagans for 30 yards set the Duke single-season record with 27 before he added another in the game's final minute. - Duke/AP College Football

  Minnesota Football   P.J. Fleck celebrated his 45th birthday by crowd-surfing through the Minnesota locker room as players tossed him the air, finishing his ninth regular season with the program in jubilant fashion. The second-longest tenured coach in the Big Ten, Fleck has helped infuse the Gophers with some welcomed stability, a model of consistency that now includes partying with Paul Bunyan's Axe. Drake Lindsey threw a touchdown pass to Jameson Geers for the only second-half score in snow-globe conditions, and John Nestor had two interceptions and a fumble recovery for Minnesota in a 17-7 victory over Wisconsin on Saturday to keep possession of the axe and overtake the all-time series lead at 64-63-8. Darius Taylor had a 49-yard touchdown run late in the second quarter to get the Gophers going, and their defense rebounded from a rough month to limit the Badgers to one score for the second straight year in the 135th edition of the most-played rivalry in major college football history. Minnesota (7-5, 5-4 Big Ten) has won five of the last eight matchups with Wisconsin (4-8, 2-7) after a 14-game losing streak that was the longest for either side. The Badgers, who missed a second straight bowl season after making 22 in a row, finished with their most losses since a 1-10 record in 1990.

With snow whitening the field and wind whipping through the air all afternoon, Lindsey completed 18 of 24 passes in a safe diet of screen plays and out routes for 90 yards. The redshirt freshman nailed his most important throw on third-and-7 from the 13 in the third quarter, floating a perfectly placed ball over the line so his trusty senior tight end could secure a jumping catch in traffic as he tumbled to the turf for a 10-point lead that might as well have been double that on this wintry day for a Badgers offense that entered the game with the second-fewest yards and points in the FBS. Carter Smith threw a fourth-and-goal touchdown pass to Jackson Acker with 21 seconds left in the first half, after Hunter Simmons set up the score with a 67-yard completion to Vinny Anthony. The Badgers despite the conditions broke their streak of six straight games under 100 passing yards. But for the ninth time this season, they were held under 300 total yards. - Minnesota/AP College Football

  Minnesota Football   Though they failed to capitalize on Nestor's first two takeaways, the Gophers matched the plus-three turnover margin goal they set for themselves in practice during the week. The transfer cornerback from Iowa delivered interceptions on consecutive third quarter drives, just as the Badgers were starting to find success in the passing game that eluded them all season. Nestor darted in front of Trech Kekahuna for the pick and raced 68 yards before getting tackled by Simmons. Minnesota's season leader with five interceptions in 10 games, Nestor had two of his team-high-tying nine tackles in the game for loss. "He fits so well here," Fleck said. "He's the ultimate competitor." - AP College Football

  Missouri Football   Ahmad Hardy ran for 149 yards and a touchdown while Jamal Roberts ran for another 100 yards and a score to lead Missouri to a 31-17 win over Arkansas on Saturday. Hardy, who entered the game third in FBS in yards rushing, gave the Tigers (8-4, 4-4 Southeastern Conference) the lead, 20-17, on a 57-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Missouri added a field goal and a 67-yard punt-return touchdown from Kevin Coleman Jr. in the fourth quarter to go ahead by two scores. Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz, an Arkansas native, had previously been bandied as a potential candidate for the Razorbacks' open head-coaching job. He signed an extension to stay at Missouri earlier in the week and beat Arkansas in a rivalry game for the fourth straight season. Missouri quarterback Beau Pribula threw for just 25 yards on 4-of-7 passing, but gained 78 yards on 16 carries, picking up Missouri's second-quarter touchdown that tied the game at 14. Arkansas (2-10, 0-8) had taken the lead on the previous possession after the ball slipped from Pribula's hands as he cocked his arm to pass.

Linebacker Bradley Shaw grabbed the fumble and returned it 32 yards to give Arkansas a 14-7 lead. The Razorbacks managed just two drives that went for more than 26 yards. They finished with 246 yards of total offense, despite entering the game averaging 474 per game, good for 10th in FBS. Interim head coach Bobby Petrino started redshirt freshman KJ Jackson at quarterback and let him run the first two drives of each half before replacing Jackson with usual starter Taylen Green in each half. Jackson went 11-of-17 passing for 126 yards with a first-quarter touchdown pass to O'Mega Blake. Green completed 6 of 13 passes for 59 yards. Missouri's 322 yards rushing marked the second-highest total for the Tigers this season and the most in an SEC game. Petrino served as the Razorbacks' head coach from 2008-2011. He declined to comment on his job status after the game. - Missouri/AP College Football

  Middle Tennessee Football   AJ Jones caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Roman Gagliano in the first overtime to send Middle Tennesee over New Mexico State 31-24 in the final game of the season for both teams on Saturday. Jones also caught a 24-yarder just before the end of the first half to put the Blue Raiders (3-9, 2-6 Conference USA) ahead at the break. Gagliano threw a touchdown pass to Landon Collins in the fourth quarter, and finished 24-of-42 passing for 260 yards.

Collins paced Middle Tennessee with 81 yards receiving on five catches. DJ Taylor had 77 rushing yards on four touches, scoring a 64-yard TD in the first quarter. Adam Damante had 311 yards passing and two touchdowns, but threw two interceptions for the Aggies (5-7, 2-6). TK King racked up 178 yards receiving and two touchdowns on 10 catches. Ryan Hawk's 35-yard field goal with 58 seconds left in regulation sent the game to overtime. Penalty woes derailed New Mexico State's overtime possession, with two false starts forcing a first-and-15 and second-and-20. Third-string quarterback Parker Awad came into the game for the overtime frame after an injury to Damante. - Middle Tennesee/AP College Football

  Troy Football   Goose Crowder threw three touchdown passes to lead Troy to a 28-18 victory over Southern Miss on Saturday night in a Sun Belt Conference regular-season finale. Crowder's 7-yard touchdown pass to RaRa Thomas capped an 11-play, 85 yard drive that chewed up about five minutes and stretched the Trojans' lead to 21-10 with 6:58 remaining in the fourth quarter. The pair also connected on a 75-yard touchdown with 3:16 to play.

Crowder completed 24 of 34 passes for 285 yards. He also had a 16-yard touchdown pass to Peyton Higgins just before halftime. Thomas finished with five catches for 118 yards. Tae Meadows added 94 yards rushing on 21 carries that included a short-yardage TD run in the first quarter. Braylon Braxton was 20-of-35 passing for 209 yards with a touchdown pass and interception for Southern Miss. Carl Chester had four receptions for 76 yards and a 10-yard touchdown catch. Tight end Kadinn Morris recovered Jeffery Pittman's fumbled ball in the end zone late in the third quarter that pulled the Golden Eagles to 14-10. Troy (8-4, 6-2) ends the regular season with consecutive wins while Southern Miss (7-5, 5-3) ends its with three straight losses. - Troy/AP College Football

  Mississippi Valley State Football   Brandon Nunez threw for three touchdowns and ran for a fourth and Mississippi Valley State earned its second win, first in the conference, to end the season with a 35-31 win over Florida A&M on Saturday. Jamari Stokes' picked off a pass, his second interception, from RJ Johnson III with 1:23 remaining to seal the win. The Rattlers were up 24-14 when Nunez capped a 75-yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run. Then on the first play of the fourth quarter wide receiver Mekhi Norris had a 27-yard touchdown pass to Cameron Nelson that put the Delta Devils on top.

A big kickoff return gave Florida A&M a quick answer with Johnson finding Kenari Wilcher for a 34-yard score in a three-play drive for a 31-28 lead. MVSU punted on its next possession then Kelly Dante intercepted a pass, setting up the Delta Devils on the 9. On third down Nunez found Norris for the winner, covering 9 yards. Nunez was 28 of 47 for 331 yards for MVSU (2-10, 1-7 SWAC) and Norris had eight catches for 140 yards. Johnson was 20 of 33 for 283 yards and two TDs for the Rattlers (5-7, 4-4) but was intercepted three times. Thad Franklin ran for 101 yards and a score. - AP College Football
