COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Kellen Mond's 2-point conversion pass to Kendrick Rogers in the seventh overtime gave Texas A&M a 74-72 victory over No. 8 LSU in a game that tied the NCAA record for most overtimes in an FBS game. Greedy Williams was called for pass interference on the first 2-point conversion try, giving the Aggies, another shot. After a false start by Texas A&M, Mond found Rogers for the conversion to end it.

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Tua Tagovailoa passed for five touchdowns and ran for a sixth to lead No. 1 Alabama to a 52-21 victory over rival Auburn. Tagovailoa and the Crimson Tide took over with an explosive third quarter, when the Heisman Trophy candidate threw three long touchdown passes. Next up: The SEC championship game.

ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Jake Fromm threw four touchdown passes, D'Andre Swift ran for 105 yards and No. 5 Georgia romped into the Southeastern Conference championship game with a 45-21 rout of Georgia Tech. The Bulldogs couldn't afford a slip-up, not with top-ranked Alabama looming next week in Atlanta. That was never an issue in a one-sided game that was over by halftime.

CLEMSON, S.C. (AP) — No. 2 Clemson finished a perfect regular season and won its fifth straight over rival South Carolina with a 56-35 victory Saturday night. Trevor Lawrence threw for a career high 335 yards and Adam Choice rushed for three touchdowns as the Tigers went 12-0 for a third time in program history. Gamecocks quarterback Jake Bentley passed for a career best 510 yards and had five touchdowns as South Carolina scored the most points this season on the Tigers

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Feleipe Franks had three touchdown passes and No. 13 Florida used a punishing ground attack to end a five-game losing streak to Florida State, defeating the Seminoles 41-14. It was Florida's biggest win over Florida State since Tim Tebow was the quarterback in 2009. The Gators racked up 536 offensive yards. The dominant performance that reinforced the argument they are deserving of an at-large spot in a New Year's Six bowl game.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Terry Wilson accounted for 340 yards and four touchdowns, Benny Snell Jr. rushed for two scores and No. 17 Kentucky blew out archrival Louisville 56-10 to win the Governor's Cup. Wilson threw three TDs and rushed for another as Kentucky won for the second time in three years against the Cardinals.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Kyle Shurmur completed his first 15 passes and finished with 367 yards and three touchdowns as the Vanderbilt Commodores routed in-state rival Tennessee 38-13 to become bowl eligible for the second time in three seasons. Vanderbilt also won its third straight over Tennessee, something the Commodores hadn't managed since the 1920s. Coach Derek Mason now has beaten three different Tennessee coaches in each of the last three seasons with Vandy winning five of the last seven in this series.

STARKVILLE, Miss. (AP) — Teaira McCowan scored 19 points in 19 minutes to lead five Mississippi State players in double figures, and the sixth-ranked Bulldogs beat Jackson State 105-38. McCowan finished 8 of 9 from the field and had made 22 consecutive shots over three games before a third-quarter miss against the Tigers. The Bulldogs did the bulk of their damage in the first half. They led 29-11 after one quarter and 61-22 at halftime with three players in double figures within the first 20 minutes.
