Oklahoma kicker Tate Sandell nailed a walk-off field goal as time expired to beat No. 1 Texas in the Red River Rivalry, then grabbed a flag and planted it at midfield in an iconic celebration. The win improved Oklahoma to 3-2 and left Texas facing a daunting stretch of five straight ranked opponents. Texas had survived close calls against Ohio State and Tennessee, but the breaks didn't go their way this time.
Alabama also suffered a late loss to Georgia on a field goal, dropping its first game of the season. Coach Kalen De Boer was irate after a missed defensive pass interference call on the final drive that could have set up a game-tying field goal. Georgia proved a worthy opponent, making the defeat more forgivable than Texas's.
LSU's overtime loss to Kentucky was perhaps the most consequential, leaving the Tigers 2-2 at the season's midpoint. Their early-season ranking now looks inflated, and the remainder of their schedule amounts to elimination games.
The week's upsets reshaped the college football landscape, with three top-10 teams falling and the SEC proving as unpredictable as ever.
