ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Tate Forcier threw four interceptions and fumbled in his end zone, and No. 9 Ohio State took advantage on Saturday to beat Michigan 21-10 in Ann Arbor, Mich, for its sixth straight win in the series.

The Buckeyes (10-2, 7-1) clinched an outright Big Ten championship and will play in the Rose Bowl with a five-game winning streak.

The Wolverines started the season 4-0 and ended it 5-7.

Gators rout FIU: Top-ranked Florida moved another step closer to perfection with a 62-3 rout of Florida International in Gainesville, Fla.

Tim Tebow accounted for three touchdowns and Brandon Spikes returned an interception for a score to extend the nation's longest winning streak to 21 games.

Florida improved to 11-0 for the second time in school history.

Ingram, Tide roll over Chattanooga: Mark Ingram ran for 102 yards and two long touchdowns in the first half, and No. 2 Alabama breezed to a 45-0 win over Chattanooga in Tuscaloosa, Ala.

The Crimson Tide (11-0) raced to a 35-0 halftime lead and showed no signs of a letdown ahead of games with Auburn and No. 1 Florida.

TCU moves to 11-0: Matthew Tucker and Joseph Turner each ran for two TDs, and No. 4 TCU routed Wyoming 45-10 in Laramie, Wyo, for TCU's best start in 71 years.

The win keeps TCU (11-0, 7-0) in the thick of BCS contention and clinches at least a share of the Mountain West Conference crown. TCU last went 11-0 in 1938.

Ducks win in OT: Jeremiah Masoli tied it with a TD pass to Ed Dickson with six seconds left, then won it with a 1-yard run in the second overtime as No. 11 Oregon defeated Arizona 44-41 and took a big step toward the Pac-10 title.

Masoli threw for three scores and ran for three more as the Ducks rallied from a 24-14 deficit in the fourth.

The Ducks (9-2, 7-1 Pac-10) will earn a Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth with a victory over No. 20 Oregon State in a winner-take-all Civil War on Dec. 3 in Eugene.

McCluster passes Ole Miss over LSU: Dexter McCluster ran for 148 yards and passed for a TD, and Mississippi survived a last-ditch drive by No. 10 LSU for a 25-23 win.

After recovering an onside kick, LSU's Jordan Jefferson heaved a pass to Terrance Tolliver that he caught at the Ole Miss 6 with one second left. The Tigers had no timeouts and didn't send the field goal unit onto the field, and the clock expired as they tried to spike the ball.

The win likely gives Ole Miss (8-3, 4-3) second place in the SEC West with a game left to play, and an edge over LSU (8-3, 4-3) when bowl invitations are handed out.

Cal beats Stanford in Big Game: Shane Vereen ran for a career-high 193 yards and three TDs on 42 carries and Mike Mohamed intercepted a pass from Andrew Luck at the 3 with less than 2 minutes left as California spoiled No. 14 Stanford's Rose Bowl hopes with a 34-28 win in the Big Game.

Stanford's Heisman contender Toby Gerhart rushed for 136 yards, four TDs and carryed defenders on a 29-yard reception that set Stanford (7-4, 6-3) up at the Cal 13 with less than 2 minutes left.

Luck then threw an incompletion on first down and was intercepted by Mohamed on second with 1:36 to go.

Iowa blanks Minnesota: Freshman James Vandenberg threw for 117 yards, and No. 15 Iowa kept alive BCS bowl hopes alive by beating Minnesota 12-0 in Iowa City.

Case leads Houston to win: Houston needed a win to stay alive in the Conference USA race. Case Keenum engineered it in record-setting fashion Saturday.

He threw for 405 yards and five touchdowns in just more than two quarters as No. 24 Houston (9-2, 5-2) beat Memphis 55-14 in Houston. By Associated Press
