COLUMBUS - Police reviewed video footage Monday to try to identify more people who overturned and burned cars and pelted officers with bottles and rocks after Ohio State's football victory over Michigan.

Fans set more than 100 street fires that started minutes after a 14-9 win Saturday, police said. The Buckeyes completed an unbeaten regular season and clinched a spot in a national championship game.

There also was weekend fan trouble at Cal-Stanford in Berkeley, Calif.; Clemson-South Carolina in Clemson, S.C.; and North Carolina State-Florida State in Raleigh, N.C. Players from both teams fought after Hawaii's 20-19 victory over Cincinnati.

In Columbus, police said the mood was peaceful for several hours after the game, but after midnight cars were overturned and burned. Officers used tear gas and wooden pellets to disperse a crowd of several hundred near the campus.

Police in riot gear escorted firefighters through clouds of tear gas to the fires as crowds off campus tossed bottles and rocks.

About 20 cars were damaged by fire or overturning, and at one time a chain of nine cars was burning, police said. The fires were so intense, a section of one street buckled. No serious injuries were reported.

The president of the Fiesta Bowl, John Junker, called the disturbances regrettable but said bowl officials weren't worried about the conduct of OSU fans.

"No community has a monopoly on knuckleheads," Junker said. "By and large, people around college football are responsible and honorable."

The damage amount in Columbus hadn't been estimated, police and fire officials said Monday, but fire Capt. Steve Saltsman said the total most likely will surpass tens of thousands of dollars.

Only one fire was in a home, Saltsman said. Someone entered the open door of a duplex south of the stadium where a party was going on and set fire to a pile of clothes in the basement, causing about $4,000 damage.
