Oklahoma upsets No. 1 Texas on Tate Sandell’s game-ending 47-yard field goal
DALLAS (AP) — Tate Sandell kicked a 47-yard field goal on the final play and Oklahoma overcame its continued offensive ineptitude with touchdowns on special teams and defense in a 27-24 win over No. 1 Texas in the Red River rivalry game Saturday. The Sooners beat a No. 1 team for the first time since a 38-17 win over Missouri in 2007. They had been 0-4-1 when facing a top-ranked Texas team. Arch Manning threw three touchdowns for the 4-1 Longhorns but both of his interceptions were costly.
Dwight Phillips Jr. and No. 2 Georgia run past No. 6 Alabama 20-17 in an SEC clash
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Dwight Phillips Jr. ran for 120 yards, Bo Walker added 69 more and Georgia staked its claim to a No. 1 ranking with a 20-17 victory at No. 6 Alabama on Saturday night.

The second-ranked Bulldogs finished with 206 yards on the ground — despite playing without leading rusher Nate Frazier — in the latest showdown between the two Southeastern Conference heavyweights. It was Georgia’s third win over Alabama in their last 11 meetings — and first in the regular season since 2007.
Christian Yelich and the Brewers looking to get past Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers in NLCS sequel
MILWAUKEE (AP) — All along, Christian Yelich felt this was going to be part of the road for the Milwaukee Brewers. It was always going to be the Los Angeles Dodgers — with their consecutive World Series titles and a payroll that casts a long shadow over Yelich and the small-market Brewers. The 2026 NL Championship Series is a sequel, with Shohei Ohtani and the Dodgers taking on Jackson Chourio and the Brewers. Los Angeles swept Milwaukee in last year’s NLCS on the way to the championship. Game 1 is Sunday night in Milwaukee. Yelich says he always felt the Brewers would be facing the Dodgers in the NLCS again this year.

Bulldogs rising? No. 2 Georgia poised to move up after Texas upset; LSU, Florida stunned
Georgia has taken a big step toward the Southeastern Conference championship game by defeating Alabama 20-17. The Bulldogs’ defense sacked Alabama’s quarterback four times and held him to a season-low in passing yards. This victory could boost Georgia to No. 1 in the AP Top 25 rankings. Meanwhile, Oklahoma upset top-ranked Texas 27-24, giving coach Brent Venables a much-needed win. South Carolina also pulled off an upset, defeating Florida 38-19, easing pressure on coach Shane Beamer. In other games, Kentucky edged LSU 35-34, UCLA remained undefeated with a win over Oregon, and Indiana narrowly beat Nebraska to stay unbeaten.
Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh lead No. 7 Indiana to a 20-17 come-from-behind victory over Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb, (AP) — Josh Hoover surprised a Nebraska defense stacked to stop the run on a fourth-and-1, flipping the ball to a wide-open Nick Marsh for a 44-yard touchdown to give No. 7 Indiana its first lead in a 20-17 victory over Nebraska. The Hoosiers were pushed to the limit by a Cornhuskers team looking for a program-turning victory under fourth-year coach Matt Rhule. Instead the defending national champion Hoosiers won their 22nd straight game and Nebraska lost its 31st in a row against a Top 25 opponent.
Kentucky QB Minchey scores 2-point conversion in overtime to beat No. 10 LSU 35-34
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky quarterback Kenneth Minchey ran untouched for a 2-point conversion, lifting his team to a 35-34 overtime victory over No. 10 LSU. LSU scored first in overtime in Saturday’s game with a 15-yard run by quarterback Sam Leavitt. Kentucky forced overtime with a 33-yard field goal by Adam Zouagui, who had missed two earlier attempts. Minchey threw for 246 yards, with 206 in the second half. C.J. Baxter ran for 123 yards and two touchdowns. LSU’s defense, which had been strong so far this season, gave up 401 yards. Leavitt was 25-of-34 passing for 275 yards and two touchdowns, but also had an interception and the fumble.
LaNorris Sellers shows up big, and South Carolina stuns No. 16 Florida 38-19 in the Swamp
GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — LaNorris Sellers accounted for five touchdowns, including four passing in his best performance in nearly two years, and South Carolina stunned No. 16 Florida 38-19 to end an eight-game skid in Southeastern Conference play. Sellers completed 23 of 35 passes for 279 yards, finding Nyck Harbor, Mazeo Bennett Jr., Donovan Murph and Lex Cyrus for scores against the league’s worst passing defense. The Gators, who were double-digit favorites at home, lost a second consecutive game in lopsided fashion and surely will fall out of the AP Top 25.
