Oklahoma & Clemson roll

-

NORMAN, Okla. — Baker Mayfield threw for 281 yards and three touchdowns after being punished for directing a lewd gesture toward the Kansas bench last week, and No. 3 Oklahoma routed West Virginia, 5831 to maintain its momentum heading into the Big 12 Championsh­ip game.

Mayfield was stripped of his captaincy and starting job for the game, his final home game as a Sooner.

Rodney Anderson ran for 118 yards and four touchdowns for the Sooners (11-1, 8-1 Big 12, No. 4 CFP). They will play TCU for the Big 12 title next Saturday in Arlington, Texas.

CLEMSON 34, SOUTH CAROLINA 10: Kelly Bryant threw two touchdowns to Hunter Renfrow and No. 4 Clemson kept on track for a third straight trip to the College Football Playoff with the victory over rival South Carolina in Columbia. The Tigers (11-1, No. 3 CFP) won their fourth straight game in the Palmetto State’s most cared-about sporting event, tying their second-longest run of dominance in the series.

GEORGIA 38, GEORGIA TECH 7: Sony Michel ran for 85 yards and a touchdown, Jake Fromm threw two touchdown passes and No. 7 Georgia protected its playoff hopes on the road. Georgia (11-1, No. 7 CFP) will play in the Southeaste­rn Conference championsh­ip game next week against No. 6 Auburn.

STANFORD 38, NOTRE DAME 20: K.J. Costello threw two of his career-high four touchdown passes in the fourth quarter and No. 20 Stanford rallied to beat No. 9 Notre Dame.

The night couldn’t have gone much better for the host Cardinal (9-3, No. 21 CFP), who got the help they needed when Washington beat Washington State 41-14 in the Apple Cup to send Stanford to the Pac-12 title game. The Cardinal finished tied for first in the North with the Huskies but won the head-to-head matchup to take the tiebreaker.

PENN STATE 66, MARYLAND 3: Trace McSorley threw two touchdown passes and ran for a score to cap an outstandin­g regular season and carry No. 12 Penn State (10-2, 7-2 Big Ten, No. 10 CFP) at Maryland.

WASHINGTON 41, WASHINGTON STATE 14: Myles Gaskin ran for 192 yards and four touchdowns, No. 15 Washington forced four turnovers, and the Huskies ended No. 15 Washington State’s hopes for a Pac-12 North title. The Apple Cup remained decorated in purple for the fifth straight year thanks to a thorough domination by visiting Washington (10-2, 8-2 Pac-12, No. 17 CFP). —AP
