We’ve had another wild day of college football.
With four ranked vs. ranked matchups, there was plenty opportunity for drama and the marquee early game delivered in every way possible. In the end, the Red River Rivalry was decided in the final seconds as Dillon Gabriel led No. 12 Oklahoma on a 75-yard drive to beat No. 3 Texas, 34-30.
Then, later, No. 25 Louisville delivered an upset of its own and stayed undefeated with a 33-20 win over No. 10 Notre Dame. It’s a crippling loss for the Irish, who are now almost assuredly out of the College Football Playoff with two losses.
Out West, UCLA flexed some defensive muscle in stifling Cameron Ward and No. 13 Washington State, topping the previously undefeated Cougars, 25-17. And Deion Sanders’ Colorado team bounced back from back-to-back losses with a dramatic 27-24 win at Arizona State after kicking the winning field goal with 12 seconds left.
In the SEC, No. 23 LSU got a vital win on the road at No. 21 Missouri in a wild shootout and Alabama kept its positive momentum in a crucial SEC West road game at Texas A&M, holding off a late Aggies rally to win 26-20. In the SEC East, Georgia finally looked like the No. 1 team in the country in a blowout win over No. 20 Kentucky.
