In a wild Week 11 slate, No. 16 Ole Miss took down No. 3 Georgia and undefeated No. 4 Miami was stunned by unranked Georgia Tech.
Here is a recap of today's biggest games.
No. 16 Ole Miss takes down No. 3 Georgia 28-10
The Ole Miss Rebels have taken down the Georgia Bulldogs, 28-10.
This is the Bulldogs' first loss against a team other than Alabama since Nov. 7, 2020, when they lost to Florida. Kirby Smart's team was 48-0 the past four seasons against teams other than Alabama heading into this game.
The Rebels picked up arguably the biggest win in the Lane Kiffin era in what was likely a must-win matchup for Ole Miss' College Football Playoff hopes.
Georgia jumped out to a 7-0 lead after intercepting Rebels quarterback Jaxson Dart on the third play of the game, but the Bulldogs' offense was stifled after the opening score, recording just 69 total yards in the first half.
The Georgia defense was able to hold the Rebels out of the endzone, as Ole Miss settled for three field goals in the first half.
But the story of the game was the Rebels defense, holding the Georgia offense under 250 total yards in the whole game. The Bulldogs were averaging over 430 total yards of offense entering this game. The Rebels sacked Georgia quarterback Carson Beck five times and recorded nine tackles for loss, smothering the Bulldogs all night.
Ole Miss (8-2, 4-2 SEC) picks up a much-needed win, and the Rebels' playoff hopes remain firmly intact. Ole Miss is now right in the middle of the race for the SEC with only Florida and Mississippi State left on its schedule.
Georgia (8-2, 5-2 SEC) drops its second conference loss, and the Bulldogs will likely need a win against No. 7 Tennessee to stay in the hunt for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
Georgia Tech stuns No. 4 Miami
A homecoming to remember. Georgia Tech upset No. 4 Miami, 28-23, to snap the Hurricanes' undefeated streak and become bowl eligible.
The Yellow Jackets raced out of the gate, literally. On the second play of scrimmage, running back Jamal Haynes broke out for a 65-yard run, resulting in a rushing touchdown two plays later.
PERFECTION: Here are the remaining undefeated FBS teams this season
Georgia Tech (6-4 overall, 4-3 ACC) led Miami at halftime, 14-10. However, the Hurricanes have been the definition of a second half team this season, outscoring opponents by 158 points after the break.
But Georgia Tech kept up stride-for-stride with Miami, as each team scored two touchdowns in the second half. The Yellow Jackets led 28-23 with two minutes left.
And eventually, Georgia Tech put the final nail in the coffin after forcing Miami quarterback and Heisman contender Cam Ward to fumble with the game on the line.
CAM WARD FUMBLES IT AND GEORGIA TECH RECOVERS!!!

Forcing three turnovers on downs earlier in the contest, the forced fumble capped a high-level defensive performance for Georgia Tech. They held college football’s highest-scoring team to 23 points.
The loss knocks Miami (9-1, 5-1) off the top of ACC standings and opens the door for other conference teams to challenge.
Virginia upsets No. 18 Pittsburgh, shakes up ACC standings
In a stunning turn of events, Virginia toppled No. 18 Pittsburgh 24-19 Saturday night at Acrisure Stadium, dealing a blow to Pitt's playoff hopes and ACC standings. The Cavaliers (5-4, 3-3 ACC) relied on a gritty defensive performance and a consistent ground game to secure the road victory.
After leading 13-7 at halftime, Pitt’s offense struggled to maintain momentum, hampered by dropped passes and a blocked field goal early in the second half. Virginia capitalized on Pitt’s miscues with quarterback Anthony Colandrea orchestrating a critical third-quarter drive, capped by Xavier Brown’s 24-yard touchdown catch to retake the lead. The Cavaliers extended their advantage to 21-13 and later added a field goal to build a 24-19 cushion.
Pitt made a late push with backup quarterback Nate Yarnell finding the end zone, but a failed two-point conversion and Virginia’s subsequent first-down run allowed the Cavaliers to drain the clock.
With this loss, Pitt (7-2, 3-2 ACC) faces an uphill battle to stay in contention for the ACC title game and any outside shot at a playoff berth.
No. 11 Alabama handles No. 15 LSU 42-13
Alabama rolled into Death Valley at night and ran over LSU.
Brian Kelly was 13-0 in night games at Tiger Stadium since moving to Baton Rouge in 2022, and the Crimson Tide snapped that record in style.
Bama quarterback Jalen Milroe made a statement in this game, rushing for 185 yards and four touchdowns on just 12 attempts. He averaged 15.4 yards per rush.
After letting up 242 yards on the ground to Texas A&M two weeks ago, the Tigers' run defense was gashed again, allowing 311 rushing yards tonight.
The Tide jumped out to a 21-6 lead at halftime, and Kalen DeBoer kept his foot on the gas, extending the lead to 42-6 late in the fourth quarter. LSU finally put a complete drive together with two minutes remaining, as the Alabama coaching staff made their way down from the coaches' box onto the sideline.
It was a dominant performance from Alabama from start to finish, and after a rough stretch in October, the Tide are rolling into the final three weeks of the regular season.
With this loss, LSU is almost certainly eliminated from College Football Playoff contention, and Alabama has catapulted back into the hunt for the SEC title.
LSU (6-3, 3-2 SEC) will travel to Gainsville to take on Florida next week as Kelly's squad will look to push toward season's end strong.
Alabama (7-2, 4-2 SEC) looks very much back, and the Tide should be able to close out the regular season with three wins against Mercer, Oklahoma and Auburn.
Kansas upsets No. 17 Iowa State in high-scoring battle
Kansas pulled off a thrilling 45-36 upset over No. 17 Iowa State on Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City. The Jayhawks surged early, leading 31-13 at halftime, with quarterback Jalon Daniels making a major impact through the air and on the ground. Running back Devin Neal set a school record for career rushing yards — he stands at 3,951 yards — adding to Kansas' potent offensive display with a pair of touchdowns.
Despite a late push from Iowa State, highlighted by two fourth-quarter touchdown passes from Rocco Becht, Kansas sealed the victory with a decisive 25-yard pick-six by cornerback Mello Dotson. The Cyclones struggled defensively, allowing Kansas to amass 532 total yards, including 295 passing yards from Daniels.
Jaylin Noel led Iowa State’s offense with eight catches for 167 yards and two touchdowns, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Kansas' early lead. Kansas moves to 3-6 on the season, while Iowa State drops to 7-2, snapping its bid for a perfect conference finish.
No. 8 Indiana holds off Michigan, makes school history
No. 8 Indiana hung on to beat Michigan, 20-15, to remain undefeated and improve to 10-0 for the first time in school history.
A down-to-the-wire affair didn’t look like it was in the cards at halftime. Although the Wolverines got on the board first, the Hoosiers responded with back-to-back touchdowns and a field goal before the end of the break.
By halftime, Indiana led 17-3 at home and held Michigan to 94 total yards.
The two switched mojos in the second half, leading to the Wolverines making things interesting. Michigan scored 12 unanswered points, and had the opportunity to complete the comeback with less than three minutes left.
However, the Wolverines couldn’t convert on 4th and 10, gaining nine yards on Peyton O’Leary’s diving catch.
Improving to 10-0 overall and 7-0 in conference play, the Hoosiers sit atop the standings alongside Oregon. They still have to face Ohio State on Nov. 23, who are 5-1, for a possible spot in the Big Ten championship game. Michigan falls to 5-5 and awaits its matchup against Northwestern on Nov. 23, where it hopes to reach bowl eligibility.
No. 24 Missouri wins thriller against Oklahoma, 30-23
Without starting quarterback Brady Cook, the Tigers were able to squeeze out a win against Oklahoma behind a pair of touchdowns with a minute to play.
Oklahoma led 23-16 at the two-minute timeout. Cook's replacement, Drew Pyne connected with Theo Wease Jr. in the corner of the endzone to tie the game 23-23 with 63 seconds to play.
ELITE body control by Theo Wease Jr🔥

The Sooners got the ball back with an opportunity to get in field goal range for a game-winning kick, but Mizzou had different plans.
Oklahoma quarterback Jackson Arnold rolled out of the pocket with under 40 seconds to play, and the Tigers swarmed the sophomore, forcing a fumble and returning it for six to seal the game.
UNBELIEVABLE 🤯🚨

MISSOURI SCOOP N SCORE TO TAKE THE LEAD WITH 30 SECONDS LEFT! x 📺
It was a riveting fourth quarter, with 34 of the 53 total points coming in the final period, as the Tigers only led 10-9 at the end of the third quarter.
Missouri (7-2, 3-2 SEC) picks up a huge momentum win after getting stomped in Tuscaloosa two weeks ago. The Tigers will head to Columbia, SC next weekend to take on a red-hot South Carolina team in hopes of staying in the top 25 of the CFP poll.
Oklahoma (5-5, 1-5 SEC) is having an unwelcoming first year in the SEC, and it doesn't appear to get easier as the Sooners close out their season against Alabama and on the road against LSU in Week 14.
South Carolina defeats Vanderbilt 28-7
South Carolina continues to roll, easily taking down Vanderbilt 28-7.
The Gamecocks pick up their third-straight win after a close two-point loss to Alabama a month ago.
The South Carolina rushing attack was on full display once again, tallying over 200 yards on the ground, contributing to its 452 total yards against Vanderbilt.
It was only a 7-0 lead for the Gamecocks at the half, but South Carolina quarterback LaNorris Sellers had the offense rolling after the break. He finished with 238 yards and two touchdowns through the air.
On the other side, the Commodores could not get their offense rolling, recording just 274 total yards. Vandy punted five times and turned the ball over on downs twice.
Vandy quarterback Diego Pavia did not throw a pick but struggled to connect with his receivers, completing just 52% of his passes on the day.
South Carolina (6-3, 4-3 SEC) will look for their fourth-straight win against Missouri next weekend after securing bowl eligibility this weekend.
Vanderbilt (6-4, 3-3 SEC) had already secured a bowl game, but the Commodores have a tough remaining schedule, going on the road to LSU before ending the year at home against Tennessee.
