Tim Tebow rallied No. 2 Florida with his arm, legs and sheer will past No. 1 Alabama 31-20 in the Southeastern Conference final on Saturday and likely into the national college football title game with Oklahoma. Tebow threw three touchdown passes, including the clinching score with under three minutes remaining. He was 14 of 22 passing for 216 yards, led the team in rushing with 57 yards, and was picked as the game's MVP. The Gators trailed 20-17 in the fourth quarter before last year's Heisman Trophy winner led the comeback against the previously unbeaten Crimson Tide. Florida began the day ranked fourth in the Bowl Championship Series standings. The Gators won the national title two seasons ago in Tebow's first year, and this impressive win surely will be enough to move them into one of the top two spots with Oklahoma, which easily won the Big 12 championship against Missouri 62-21. Alabama will probably have to settle for a spot in the Sugar Bowl, ruining its hopes of a seventh national championship in school history. No. 4 Oklahoma 62, No. 19 Missouri 21: At Kansas City, Missouri, Sam Bradford and Oklahoma showed they belong in the BCS championship game with their straight Big 12 conference crown. The highest-scoring team in major college football history became the first to reach 60 points in five consecutive games. If all goes accordingly on Sunday, Oklahoma will be in the top two of the BCS standings, looking at a title game matchup against No. 2 Florida on Jan. 8 in Miami. For Oklahoma and coach Bob Stoops, it'll be their fourth appearance in a BCS national championship game. The Sooners won their first try in 2001 against Florida State, but have lost their last two – to LSU after the 2003 season and to Southern California after the 2004 campaign. No. 5 USC 28, UCLA 7: At Pasadena, California, Mark Sanchez passed for 269 yards and two touchdowns, Southern California stuffed UCLA at every turn and the fifth-ranked Trojans beat their crosstown rivals for the ninth time in 10 games. The win assured USC of an unprecedented seventh consecutive BCS bid, seven straight 11-win seasons and seven Pac-10 championships in a row. It will also make a fourth straight appearance in the Rose Bowl game, where it will meet No. 6 Penn State on New Year's Day. Virginia Tech 30, No. 18 Boston College 12: At Tampa, Florida, Tyrod Taylor scored two first-half touchdowns and Darren Evans ran for 114 yards and one touchdown in less than half-full Raymond James Stadium, helping Virginia Tech become the first two-time winner of the ACC championship game by beating Boston College. No. 23 Pittsburgh 34, Connecticut 10: At East Hartford, Connecticut, Bill Stull threw for two touchdowns and LeSean McCoy ran for another to help Pittsburgh beat Connecticut, giving the Panthers their first nine-win regular season since 1982 and a bid to the Sun Bowl. Navy 34, Army 0: At Philadelphia, with President George W. Bush in attendance, Shun White ran for 148 yards and scored two touchdowns to lead bowl-bound Navy over Army for its seventh straight win in the 118-year-old storied rivalry between the service academies. Navy has won 13 straight times against Air Force and Army since 2002, outscoring the programs 441-205 during the streak. The Commander-in-Chief's Trophy remains docked with Navy.
