In a game between teams trying to stay alive for the national title, No. 2 Penn State shut down No. 5 Pittsburgh 19-10. No. 3 Nebraska faced No. 11 Oklahoma for the Big 8 championship and an Orange Bowl berth, and the Cornhuskers won 28-24. No. 4 SMU had finished its schedule. No. 6 Arizona State needed a win over rival Arizona to clinch the Pac-10 title and a Rose Bowl berth, but the Sun Devils lost 28-18, and No. 8 UCLA (which had finished its schedule with the USC win) was elevated to first place.
