From ESPN: EJ Manuel
passed for three touchdowns in the opening seven minutes and
sixth-ranked Florida State's defense held Savannah State of the FCS to
28 yards Saturday on its way to a 55-0 victory in a game called in the
third quarter because of lightning....
Players departed the field at 8:52 p.m., and with additional weather
systems threatening the area, coaches decided quickly to call the game. A
40-minute delay followed, however, as athletics directors from both
teams worked to clear the decision with the NCAA.
"We wanted to
make sure we went through the right channels and make sure we didn't
screw up and make this a non-game for some reason," Seminoles coach
Jimbo Fisher said.
All stats and the final score will count.
Savannah
State has been outscored by a combined 139-0 in its first two games
this season. It was beaten 84-0 at Oklahoma State last week. The
Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference member is collecting paychecks totaling
$860,000 for the two games, which will help the athletic program meet
its total budget of $5.1 million.
The school came into the game as unprecedented 70½-point underdogs. http://scores.espn.go.com/ncf/recap?gameId=322520052
In Las Vegas, unless a game goes 55 minutes, which this game did not, the game is not considered played and no winners are paid and everyone gets their money refunded.
NFL & NCAA -- At least 55 minutes of play are needed for bet to have action. Overtime counts for both side and total bets.

From listening to ESPN radio this past week, it seems several people did put some money on the game, mostly on Savannah St. They are probably pretty happy.
