South Florida Bulls vs. Miami (FL) Hurricanes - Recap - November 27, 2010 - ESPN
Demetris Murray had a 1-yard touchdown run in overtime and South Florida stunned Miami 23-20 on Saturday, sending the Hurricanes to their worst season at home since 1997. Bobby Eveld tied the game with a 1-yard run with 2 minutes left in regulation, then got the Bulls back to the 1 with a 9-yard catch by Joel Miller in overtime. Murray went over the top of the pile one play later, and the Bulls (7-4) rushed the field wildly. Miami had a chance to win in regulation, but Jacory Harris threw an interception -- with the Hurricanes in field goal range -- with 5 seconds left. Matt Bosher kicked a 38-yarder on the first possession of overtime for Miami, but it wasn't enough as the Hurricanes (7-5) finished 3-3 at home for the first time in 14 seasons.

Miami's Record: 7-5

The loss also snapped the Bobcats' (8-4, 6-2) eight-game winning streak on the road in MAC play. Kent State (5-7, 4-4) finished with at least a .500 in the conference play for the fourth time in seven seasons under coach Doug Martin, who said on Sunday he will resign after the game.

Indiana Hoosiers vs. Purdue Boilermakers - Recap - November 27, 2010 - ESPN
Ben Chappell had a record-breaking day for Indiana, and Mitch Ewald booted two short field goals late, giving Indiana a 34-31 overtime victory at Purdue to win back the Old Oaken Bucket on Saturday. It's the first time since 1996 that Indiana has won in West Lafayette. The Hoosiers (5-7, 1-7 Big Ten) ended a 12-game Big Ten losing streak, a 15-game skid against league teams away from Memorial Stadium and avoided their first winless conference season since 1995 -- barely. Ewald capped a 14-play drive by making a 26-yard field goal with 9 seconds left in regulation to force the first overtime game in the 113-game series. Purdue (4-8, 2-6) got the ball first in overtime, but on the Boilermakers' third play, Rob Henry was picked off by freshman linebacker Jeff Thomas.

Indiana's Record: 5-7

Purdue's Record: 4-8

Northwestern Wildcats vs. Wisconsin Badgers - Recap - November 27, 2010 - ESPN
Another week, another jaw-dropping blowout for Wisconsin (No. 7 BCS, No. 5 AP). This one earned the Badgers a share of the Big Ten title. And with the Big Ten's Rose Bowl representative still to be determined, it remains to be seen if their recent run of scoreboard-scorching victories will be sufficient.

Wisconsin's Record: 11-1

Iowa Hawkeyes vs. Minnesota Golden Gophers - Recap - November 27, 2010 - ESPN
Beating Iowa was so nice that Minnesota celebrated twice. From the punishing ground game to the trophy-takeover sprints to the Hawkeyes sideline, the Gophers finished a rough season by running over and around their rivals. Duane Bennett's touchdown run with 4:31 left lifted Minnesota to 27-24 victory Saturday over 24th-ranked Iowa. The Hawkeyes lost another fourth-quarter lead and left the Floyd of Rosedale Trophy with the Gophers for the first time in four years.

Minnesota's Record: 3-9

Iowa's Record: 7-5

Michigan State Spartans vs. Penn State Nittany Lions - Recap - November 27, 2010 - ESPN
Michigan State marched off the field toward their sliver of boisterous, green-clad fans savoring a memorable trip to chilly Happy Valley. The Spartans (No. 10 BCS, No. 11 AP) were headed home with a share of their first Big Ten title for the first time in two decades. Edwin Baker ran for 118 yards and a touchdown, quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for 152 yards and two touchdowns to B.J. Cunningham, and the defense held off a fourth-quarter charge by penalty-prone Penn State for a 28-22 win at blustery Beaver Stadium.

Penn State's Record: 7-5

Marshall ended the year strong, Miami is looking for a new coach, and the Bobcats blew a chance for a MAC championship.
