Blake Corum scored twice in the first half, Mike Sainristil intercepted two passes, and No. 2 Michigan —- playing again without suspended coach Jim Harbaugh — became the first college football program to win 1,000 games, beating Maryland 31-24 Saturday in College Park.
The Wolverines (11-0, 8-0 Big Ten, No. 3 in the College Football Playoff rankings) remained unbeaten in their final tune-up before next weekend’s showdown against No. 3 Ohio State, but it wasn’t easy. Maryland (6-5, 3-5) rallied from a 23-3 second-quarter deficit and had the ball down five on multiple occasions in the fourth quarter.
No. 1 Georgia 38, No. 21 Tennessee 10: Carson Beck threw for 298 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Bulldogs (10-0, 8-0 Southeastern Conference) over the Volunteers (7-4, 3-4) in Knoxville.
Dillon Bell caught five passes for 90 yards and a touchdown, and also threw an 18-yard TD pass to Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint. Georgia became the first team to go unbeaten in the SEC three years in a row since the league went to an eight-game schedule in 1992.
No. 3 Ohio State 37, Minnesota 3: Hopewell native TreVeyon Henderson rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns and Kyle McCord passed for 212 yards and two scores ion Columbus.

No. 5 Washington 22, No. 10 Oregon State 20: Michael Penix Jr. threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and Washington (11-0, 8-0, No. 5 CFP) clinched a spot in the Pac-12 championship game with a victory over the Beavers (8-3, 5-3, No. 11 CFP) in Corvallis, Oregon.
