Geno Smith led West Virginia to a 70-63 victory over Baylor in a record-scoring game in the Big 12.

Smith threw eight touchdown passes for 656 yards.

Smith finished 45 of 51 and continued the 2012 season without an interception.

Wide receiver Stedman Bailey had 303 yards receiving and five touchdowns.

Notre Dame is discontinuing their annual series against Michigan, exercising a three-year out clause.

The last scheduled meeting between the schools will be in 2014.

Notre Dame and Michigan announced this summer that a two-year break is coming in the 2018 and 2019 campaigns, but that they intended to resume the series in the years following.

"The decision to cancel games in 2015-17 was Notre Dame's and not ours," Michigan AD David Brandon said in a release. "We value our annual rivalry with Notre Dame but will have to see what the future holds for any continuation of the series. This cancellation presents new scheduling opportunities for our program and provides a chance to create some new rivalries."

They've played every year since 2002 and regularly since 1978 after not meeting from 1944-77 or 1910-41. 

EJ Manuel threw for 380 yards while rushing for 102 on the ground in Florida State's 49-37 come-from-behind win over Clemson.

Manuel became the first quarterback to eclipse 300 and 100 in the same game since Charlie Ward did in 1992.

Florida State came into the game ranked No. 4, while Clemson was ranked No. 10.

"It's huge because it's what he's capable of doing and now people have seen him do it," FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said. "I'm anxious to see how he reacts to it. It's the guy I've seen all the time, and now he's done it."

Virginia Tech quarterback Logan Thomas has struggled to begin the 2012 season, as he acclimates himself with eight new starters.

Thomas rated by NFL scouts as one of the top quarterback prospects in the country.

“It hasn’t helped,” said head coach Frank Beamer. “There’s no question that when you’re playing freshmen tailbacks, and four new starters on the offensive line, a new starter at tight end, that affects your play. But again, what we need to do is become a more consistent, play-after-play offense.”

Collin Klein, a 6-foot-5, 226 pound quarterback at Kansas State, is an interesting prospect for NFL scouts to evaluate.

Klein is 43-for-59 for 609 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions this season. On the ground, Klein has 210 yards and four touchdowns on 46 attempts.

Klein rushed for 27 touchdowns on 317 attempts and 1,141 yards in 2011.

"No one's more valuable to his team in America," one scout said. "They play him like (Tim) Tebow. He's a big guy, he's not a passer, but look at his rushing numbers from last year. I don't think he's a great pro prospect, but if they keep winning, he's a Heisman candidate and we won't be able to ignore him. You could see him being used like Tebow, as a goal-line quarterback, Wildcat type of guy. He's fun to watch. And he is their offense. All his problems are related to passing, but he wasn't asked to throw a lot last year and didn't look natural when he did. But he does have a more traditional delivery than Tebow."

Logan Thomas struggled in Virginia Tech's loss to Pittsburgh on Saturday.

Thomas, who is one of the most closely watched quarterbacks in college football by NFL scouts, went 14-for-31 and was intercepted three times.

"I think it was a little bit of Logan. I think it was a little bit the receivers not running proper routes at times," head coach Frank Beamer said. "Pittsburgh did a good job of putting pressure on our quarterback. But I’ll say this: Logan battled in there, and he competed and there’s no question about that. He showed some toughness."

With a big win over USC after coming off a season in which Stanford lost just twice in 2011, David Shaw could emerge as a leading candidate from the college ranks for an NFL job.

Shaw took over at Stanford for Jim Harbaugh when he left for the 49ers.

"I think David Shaw of Stanford is the leader in the clubhouse for the hottest NFL coaching candidate from college football come January," wrote Peter King.

Alabama remained the No. 1 team in the country and now have 58 of 60 first place votes following USC's loss at Stanford.

Stanford moved up from No. 21 to No. 9, while USC fell from No. 2 to No. 13.

Notre Dame climbed from No. 20 to No. 11 following their 20-3 win over Michigan State. The Spartans fell from No. 10 to No. 21.

Stanford defeated USC for the fourth straight time, beating the No. 2 ranked Trojans 21-14.

Stanford's Stephfan Taylor rushed for 153 yards on 27 carries, while scoring on a 59-yard run and a 23-yard pass from Josh Nunes. Nunes also threw the game-winning touchdown with 10:20 remaining in the fourth quarter when he connected with Zach Ertz.

Silas Reed scored USC's two touchdowns with both coming at the goaline, but had only 17 total yards on 13 carries.

Matt Barkley's Heisman Trophy chances took a major hit with his performance, going 20-for-41 for 254 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions.

Thomas Tyner, a recruit for Oregon, rushed for 644 yards and 10 touchdowns on 38 carries.

Tyner turned 18 on Friday as well.

Tyner scored on runs of 20, 41, 62, 60 and 65 yards in the first half.

Tyner credited his offensive line.
