From North Mississippi to Atlanta, college football brought glorious top-five upsets on the second Saturday in November.
Coach Lane Kiffin delivered his biggest victory in five seasons in Oxford, saddling Georgia with their first loss to a team not named Alabama since the COVID season in 2020 and keeping Ole Miss’ playoff hopes alive. Miami, meanwhile, couldn’t mount its typical fourth-quarter comeback, suffering its first loss of the season at Georgia Tech and putting in jeopardy its playoff chances.
The two results dramatically reshape conference championship races in the ACC and SEC — and the College Football Playoff too. Texas, Texas A&M and Tennessee now find themselves in control of their destinies in the march to Atlanta. The Hurricanes’ loss opens the door for Clemson in the race to Charlotte for the ACC crown.

Did you see the defensive survivals from Indiana and Army (they combined to allow 18 points on Saturday)? The Hoosiers are 10-0 and the Black Knights are 9-0.
Coach Prime and his Colorado Buffaloes continue to march toward a possible appearance in the Big 12 title game, slamming Texas Tech in Lubbock. The victory came with a bonus: Kansas upset Iowa State, clearing the path for CU to control its own destiny to the playoffs.
In the Big Ten, the Buckeyes and the Ducks put together blowout wins. Speaking of blowouts, Kalen DeBoer’s Alabama team crushed LSU’s playoff dreams with a rout in Tiger Stadium. In some down-the-standings games, UCLA won a third straight game by beating Iowa, and Boston College is one win from bowl eligibility with a victory over Syracuse. That goes for Virginia, too, which is 5-4 after upsetting Pitt.
