Here are the results of the noon and afternoon games here in Week 10; as more games go final they’ll be added to the list. You can also check out the scoreboard for live results here, and click on final scores for full recaps where available.

No. 4 Ohio State 56, Purdue 0

RECAP

Ohio State demolished Purdue in road play, 56-0. The Buckeyes were nearly flawless in the win, rolling up 640 yards of total offense and holding the Boilermakers to 116 of their own, but it’s really not that difficult to look flawless against Purdue.

No. 14 South Carolina 34, Ole Miss 16

RECAP

South Carolina pulled away in a 17-0 third quarter to put the game out of reach. The Gamecocks offense was held largely in check, gaining only 12 first downs on the day and converting one of 10 third downs, but Ole Miss turned the ball over five times—a great way to lose a game all by yourself.

No. 17 Northern Illinois 63, Massachusetts 19

RECAP

NIU's star quarterback Jordan Lynch rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns in the Huskies' romp, and he added 160 yards and another score through the air as well. UMass falls to 1-7 on the season and remains very, very bad at football.

No. 24 Wisconsin 28, Iowa 9

RECAP

Wisconsin overcame a slow start to overwhelm the undergunned Iowa Hawkeyes. Joel Stave threw two touchdowns on the day, and two Iowa turnovers deep in its own territory helped the Badgers pull away in a lopsided second half.
