Memphis Shocks Florida State
Memphis delivered a stunning 27-14 victory over the Florida State Seminoles, a result few saw coming.

Behind quarterback Thomas Castellanos, the Eagles executed a flawless first half, taking advantage of Missouri’s mistakes. A gutsy fourth-down touchdown pass gave Boston College a key score early in the game. Though Missouri made a comeback attempt, the Eagles held strong to secure the upset.
South Carolina Scares LSU
South Carolina almost pulled off a huge upset against LSU, controlling the game with their rushing attack and stout defense. Although the Gamecocks ultimately fell short, LSU’s struggles to stop the run were glaring throughout the game. South Carolina’s impressive performance put them on the map, while LSU narrowly escaped with a 30-27 win.
Kentucky Pushes Georgia to the Brink
In one of the biggest surprises of the night, the Kentucky Wildcats nearly took down the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs. Georgia’s offense struggled to get going, amassing just 65 yards in the first half, and needed a last-minute drive to escape Lexington with a 13-12 victory.
