Week 9 college football final scores, updated all Saturday long
The top-ranked game of the noon slate was the most exciting, as Miami rallied for a 24-21 home win against unheralded Wake Forest. Elsewhere, Minnesota knocked off No. 24 Nebraska.

Ranked games
No. 1 Alabama, Tennessee
What looked like a nightmare in the making for Miami turned into a heroic afternoon for the Hurricanes, who scored two touchdowns in the last 5:36 of the game to pull out the win. Duke Johnson paced Miami with 30 rushes for 168 yards and those two scores, and a last gasp for the Demon Deacons was snuffed out when Tanner Price's throw went through his receiver's hands and into the arms of Miami CB Antonio Crawford. So it goes.
No. 9 Clemson, Maryland
Duke, No. 14 Virginia Tech
For the second straight year, Virginia Tech let Duke take a double-digit lead before the Hokies scored a point, and for the second straight year, VT won anyway. Duke’s 13-0 lead quickly dissipated
Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M blew the doors off the 'Dores, opening up a 28-0 lead in the first half. Manziel threw for 305 yards and four scores in a rather (by Manziel standards) subdued performance. Mike Evans caught five passes for 77 yards and a pair of scores, further cementing his status as the best wideout in college football this year.
No. 18 Northern Illinois 52, Eastern Michigan
Oklahoma State needed fewer than 10 minutes to go up 21-0 on the hapless Cyclones, and the Cowboys coasted to the easy win. RB Desmond Roland was the Cowboys’ motor on the day, rushing for 219 yards and four scores, and OSU is now 6-1 (3-1) on the year and aiming straight for its trip to No. 10 Texas Tech next week.
It takes a pretty solid defense to slow down Teddy Bridgewater, and news flash: USF does not have a solid defense. Bridgewater went 25-29 for 344 yards and three scores in the easy win. USF fell to 2-5 (2-1) on the year, and yes, USF was actually 2-0 in AAC play coming into the game.
UCF had wins over Penn State and Louisville on its resume, and now the Knights have the ever-sexy blowout win to add to the pile. UConn is horrendous, no doubt, but now that we can see UCF is a team that lays waste to horrendous teams, it might be time to look at putting UCF into the Top 20. Blake Bortles paced the Knights with 286 yards passing and five total touchdowns.
The Big Ten Legends Division is officially a mess. Minnesota welcomed guest Nebraska to TCF Bank Stadium and pushed the Huskers up and down the field, earning bowl eligibility and—yes—a legitimate spot in the division race discussion, if only or a week. Nebraska was hampered significantly by Taylor Martinez’s lingering turf toe injury, and while its star QB played, he was ineffective and Nebraska didn’t have the type of performance from the rest of its team to make the difference.
