Auburn stunned No. 1 Georgia 27-24 in Athens with a walk-off field goal as time expired, marking one of the most unlikely upsets in college football history. The victory snapped Georgia's 65-0 record in games where they led by at least 14 points and ended Auburn's 195-game winning streak against AP No. 1 teams trailing by 14 or more points. Quarterback Byrum Brown became the first to record 115 rush yards in a win over an AP No. 1 team since Vince Young in 2005.
Georgia's loss marked the third No. 1 team to fall in 2026, joining Ohio State and Texas, with both final games decided by walk-off field goals—the first such back-to-back finish since 1936.
