Top 25 football: Baylor rallies to erase 21-point deficit, beats TCU

Chris Callahan kicked a 28-yard field goal as time expired and No. 5 Baylor wiped out a 21-point deficit in the final 11 minutes to beat No. 9 TCU 61-58 on Saturday in Waco, Texas.

Bryce Petty threw six touchdown passes for the Bears (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), including a 25-yarder to Corey Coleman with 4:42 left in the fourth that tied it at 58. Petty passed for 510 yards and threw two interceptions.

TCU moved to midfield and faced fourth-and-three from the Baylor 45 with 1:17 left in the fourth. Instead of punting, the Horned Frogs elected to try to keep the ball and end it in regulation.

Trevone Boykin tossed a sideline fade toward Josh Doctson that the receiver couldn’t come up with. TCU was looking for a pass interference call on Ryan Reid but didn’t get it.

(1) Florida State 38, Syracuse 20: Jameis Winston threw for 317 yards and three TDs, Mario Pender scored twice, and the Seminoles (6-0, 4-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) rolled to a win over the Orange (2-4, 0-2) in Syracuse, New York.

(7) Alabama 14, Arkansas 13: Blake Sims threw two TD passes and the Crimson Tide (5-1, 2-1) narrowly avoided its second straight Southeastern Conference loss with a shaky win over the Razorbacks (3-3, 0-3) in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
