SEC
Florida 41, South Carolina 39 - I don't know what is more surprising: that we got a road win, or that we passed for over 400 yards and came back from ten points down in the fourth quarter to do it. When the Gamecocks scored to push the lead to ten, I figured that we were done. Graham Mertz passed for a career high 423 yards on 30/48. The running game wasn't working, but this time Napier didn't keep trying it. Message received?
Georgia 37, Vanderbilt 20 - Georgia is still winning, but they aren't steamrolling teams anymore.
Alabama 24, Arkansas 21 - The Tide led 24-6 in the third quarter. After the Hogs cut the lead to three, they were driving on Alabama. After taking a sack on third and eight and punting, they never got the ball back.
Tennessee 20, Texas A&M 13 - Not much offense on either side. One of Tennessee's touchdowns came on a punt return.
LSU 48, Auburn 18 - LSU jumped out 17-0 in the first quarter and it was pretty much over. Auburn was outgained by over 250 yards.
Missouri 38, Kentucky 21 - Kentucky took a 14-0 lead in the first quarter, then were outscored 17-0 in the second. Three turnovers didn't help the Wildcats.

Houston 41, West Virginia 39 - After West Virginia scored on a 50-yard touchdown pass on fourth and ten to lead 39-35 with 12 seconds remaining, Houston won on the game's final play on a 49-yard touchdown pass. The teams combined for 42 points in the fourth quarter.
Tulane 31, Memphis 21 - The Green Wave scored the final 21 points, including a 14-0 fourth quarter, after falling behind 21-10 with 10:09 remaining in the third quarter.
Stanford 46, Colorado 43, 2OT - The Buffs led 29-0 at the half before being outscored 36-7 in the second half. Colorado was penalized 17 times for 127 yards. Shedeur Sanders was intercepted in the end zone in the second OT to set up the winning field goal. Stanford WR Eric Ayomanor caught 13 passes for a school record 294 yards and three touchdowns, his longest reception 97 yards.
Notre Dame 48, Southern California 20 - Things could hardly have gone worse for the Trojans. Five turnovers and giving up nearly half a hundred points to a team with 251 yards of total offense. After SC scored to cut the lead to 31-20, the ensuing kickoff was returned for a touchdown.
Washington 36, Oregon 33 - After the Huskies scored on an 18-yard touchdown pass with 1:38 remaining to take the lead, the Ducks missed a potential tying field goal on the final play.
North Carolina 41, Miami 31 - The Tarheels forced four Miami turnovers.
Pittsburgh 38, Louisville 21 - The Panthers were 1-4 going into this game, and 0-2 in conference. The Cardinals were one of several teams bitten by turnovers. They had three of them. After taking a 21-14 lead at the half, Louisville did not score after halftime.
Oklahoma State 39, Kansas 32 - Despite missing their starting quarterback, the Jayhawks had an opportunity to win this game on the road. They led 32-27 after three quarters.
Rutgers 27, Michigan State 24 - When the Scarlet Knights win a game in conference, it's news. Trailing 24-6 after three quarters, Rutgers scored three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, the last two coming nine seconds apart.
Illinois 27, Maryland 24 - After the Terrapins had tied the game at 24 on a field goal with 1:31 remaining, the Illini kicked one from 43 yards on the final play for the win.
Colorado State 31, Boise State 30 - Trailing 17-0 at the break, the Rams finished strong, including a 21-point fourth quarter.
San Diego State 41, Hawaii 34 - The Aztecs were another Mountain West team who rode a 21-point fourth quarter to a win.
Idaho State 42, Eastern Washington 41 - From the "It ain't over 'til it's over" department, this game from the Big Sky Conference. The Eagles led 35-14 at the half, and 41-14 with 1:48 remaining in the third quarter. From that point on the Bengals scored 28 points, including the game winning touchdown on a one yard run with 52 seconds remaining.
