In a potential elimination game, the Georgia Bulldogs won 31-17 thanks to shutting out the Vols in the second half. Carson Beck had one of his best games of the season with 347 yards and two touchdowns, and the UGA pass rush racked up five sacks.

The BYU Cougars were looking to keep their undefeated season alive against the 3-6 Kansas Jayhawks, who were considered inferior competition. Instead, they got a rude awakening, stunningly losing 17-13. Kansas scored the go-ahead touchdown with 13:19 left.
