5 of the nation’s high seven groups went down on the identical Saturday for the primary time in AP Ballot historical past. A sixth group in that grouping barely received by the hair of their chinny-chin-chin due to fishy officiating. The one different group within the high seven to not lose was No. 4 anOhio State who was enjoying No. 5 Indiana
Tennessee 26 Alabama 10 – Let’s get this one out of the way in which. It’s not clear if Keelon Russell had a concussion however the Crimson Tide offense was in complete disarray. The gamers and coaches didn’t look ready for this sport in any respect. The Vols had been fired up on protection and compelled many errors.
On a private notice, I despatched out the above Tweet final midweek and the Dwags received all up of their emotions over me calling their win over Bama “their Tremendous Bowl”. And golly gee. Look what occurred subsequent… ↓↓↓
Auburn 27 Georgia 24 – The newly topped No. 1 group scored touchdowns on their first two possessions after which figured they might absolutely roll to a 77-0 win. However Aubie had different plans. The Warfare Tigers would rating the subsequent 24 factors and take the lead into the 4th quarter. Karl Childers Gunner Stockton was turning the ball over all over (two T) however managed to place collectively a late drive that resulted in a game-tying TD. After an Aubie punt, it seemed like UGA would pull it off in a single closing drive, however Karl Stockton coughed up the soccer in Auburn territory.
Ashton Daniels was in a position to inch his group nearer however a silly roughing the passer penalty on Georgia moved the ball up a 15 large yards. After a brief run, time dwindled down to three seconds on the UGA 16, sufficient for Auburn to kick the game-winning discipline objective.
Kirby Sensible & the Doggies had been so geared as much as beat Bama, I suppose they forgot to plan for Auburn.
BYU 28 Notre Dame 24 – Somewhat controversy in Huge 12 land. The Cougars blew a 21-10 halftime benefit when the Irish scored 14 straight to take a 3 level lead. The Mormons retook the lead with below two minutes remaining. Notre Dame had an opportunity to attain a game-winning landing on the ultimate play of the sport when a cross into the top zone fell harmlessly to the turf. Nevertheless on that play, it appeared that KJ Bolden the BYU defender interfered with the receiver, however no flag was thrown. Along with this situation, it additionally seems that each the sport clock on the ABC broadcast and the stadium clock on the stadium nonetheless had one second on the clock as soon as ball hit the bottom.
Oopsie!
Florida 27 Texas 24 – The Longhorns had been up 17-3 when the Gators scored the subsequent 24 factors.

Ohio State 19 Indiana 15 – The Huge Ten was within the highlight and – yeesh – was this sport ugly! Indy received to 4th & 4 on the anOSU 27 with below a minute however a Hoosiers reception into the top zone was only a half-step out of bounds.
Neither group gained over 80 dashing yards. Julian Sayin was sacked 4 instances and was picked twice. Though, he did throw a pair of TDs. Sayin injured his passing (proper) arm late within the sport and is claimed to be out for “a number of weeks”. The ‘Eyes have a bye week adopted by a sport at Southern Cal after which at house vs Oregon and Northwestern.
ESS-EE-SEE
Ole Miss 31 Missouri 3 – Misplaced within the shuffle of the insanity on Saturday was the Insurgent Black Shark Bears manhandling of Mizzou. The Ozark Tigers had been wanting like a high 10 group of their earlier two video games, however not on at the present time. OM (5-1) had a extra balanced assault with 241 yards via the air and 257 on the bottom with two backs topping the century mark in dashing yards. Mizzy (5-2) had 339 passing yards however managed solely 39 on the bottom. Seven of their possessions led to a punt.
Kentucky 21 Oklahoma 13 – UK scored a TD on their opening possession however then turned chilly. The Sooners would take a 13-7 lead within the third quarter and had been knocking on the door however quarterback John Mateer threw an interception that was returned to the OU 45 yard line. The ‘Cats would convert the turnover right into a go-ahead landing. With below 2 to play, Mateer threw a decide six which mainly clinched the sport. However that was not sufficient for the Okie QB. He would throw yet one more interception to provide him three for the sport.
The Wildcats are actually 6-1 with awful Vandy up subsequent. Then comes an enormous matchup in Knoxville.
Arkansas 31 Vanderbilt 21 – In a match of doormats, the Razorbacks proved to be an eyelash higher than the Commodores. Vandy (3-4, 0-4) is the one SEC group with no convention win.
NOTHING TO ESS-EE-SEE HERE
LSU 31 Mississippi State 0 – Sometime, the gamers on this LSU group will inform their grandkids how they as soon as beat the #16 group within the nation. Nevertheless, the Bullies had been with out star quarterback Kamario Taylor and high working again Fluff Bothwell, and that made all of the distinction. One obvious quantity for MSU is that they had been 0-5 on fourth down conversion makes an attempt – as soon as on the objective line and all 5 throughout the LSU 35 yard line.
Bayou Bengals QB Sam Leavitt lastly put up a strong effort, finishing 31 of 38 passes for 289 yards and 4 touchdowns in what additionally was his first turnover-free sport this season. [SIDE NOTE: He did fumble but a teammate recovered.]
Texas A&M 41 The Citadel 0 – Very similar to the navy academies, the Bulldogs (2-5) primarily emphasize a run-heavy assault, sustaining points of the normal triple-option model. Their diminutive backs had been no match in opposition to the hulking Aggies. A&M quarterback Marcel Reed and different starters took the second half off.
OTHER STUFF
Oregon 17 Nebraska 14 – Following his debacle of a begin final week versus UCLA, Dylan Raiola received some redemption in opposition to his former group. Third-string quarterback Brock Thomas began the sport for the Geese however was largely ineffective, going 9 of 20 for 54 yards and an interception. Raiola (11 of 18 for 59 yards within the fourth quarter) got here off the bench and threw a 4-yard landing cross with 28 seconds left to provide Oregon a come-from-behind victory.
Each groups amassed 242 complete yards. Nebraska punted 9 instances, Oregon 7. Huge Ten soccer, y’all.
Miami-FL 43 Florida State 35 (2 OT) – The Hurricanes’ dream good season nearly got here unraveled in opposition to their hated rival. This battle stayed impasse via 4 quarters and the primary additional time. After Miami scored within the second additional time, FSU went backwards resulting from a sack and two separate penalties that put them behind the chains. However first, shenanigans. On 4th-and-21, Florida State seemingly transformed a landing. However maintain on a minute. An y deletes these six factors. So on 4th-and-31 (sound acquainted?), Ashton Daniels threw one other cross into the top zone the place the ‘Noles Duce Robinson had two arms on the ball but it surely was dominated to have been wrestled away by Miami DB Bryce Fitzgerald to finish the sport. Shenanigans.
Rutgers 37 Maryland 30 – The Scarlet Knights decide up their first convention win in opposition to the 0-4 Terps. Sparty and PSU are additionally 0-4. Huge Ten Soccer, y’all!

POWER 2
- SEC – Each SEC group has a minimum of one loss. Solely three groups within the convention are unbeaten at house. Florida crushes Ole Miss beats the crap out of Mizzou who slaughtered Florida. It is among the weirdest faculty soccer seasons in a few years.
- Huge Ten – UCLA is the final unbeaten in thi B1G. Who noticed that coming?? Nebraska is the fraud all of us thought they had been. Iowa and So Cal are lingering round for now. Oregon is wishy-washy. Indy and anOhio State look undoubtedly beatable.
SECOND 2

AT LARGE
- Indies – How do you resolve an issue like
MariaNotre Dame? In an totally ridiculous transfer of particular remedy, the CFP agreed to ensure the Irish an at-large berth in the event that they end the 12 months within the high 12. After beating up on soup cans for six weeks and climbing to No. 2 within the AP Ballot, the Dames lastly confronted a group with a pulse at BYU and misplaced. After every week off, they host Navy, however then comes an enormous South Bend showdown with Miami-FL. Then it’s Boston Faculty, SMU, and godwaful Syracuse (The Irish’s solely remaining street sport). The one method ND drops under 12 is that if they lose to the ‘Canes and the Mustangs – each house video games.
PARTICIPATION TROPHY
- Boise (PAC-12) is as much as No. 21 and symbolize the one non-Energy group to be ranked. The Smurfs misplaced a detailed one at Oregon earlier within the 12 months, which isn’t wanting as spectacular anymore. My cash is on them proper now.
- UTSA (AAC) is 6-1 (3-0 AAC) with the one defeat coming by the hands of Texas in Week 3. Nevertheless, the Roadrunners are at Tulane on Saturday

The Solar Belt schedule-makers did them an enormous favor by permitting them to keep away from all the higher groups of the convention in ULL (5-2, 2-1), Louisiana Tech (4-2, 2-1), and South Alabama (4-2, 2-1). Nevertheless, the Dukes’ one roadblock of the season might come on Thursday at App State (4-2, 1-1). GO APPY!
- New Mexico and North Dakota State have a Mountain West showdown this weekend.

#ALABAMA
- If I had been at this sport, I’d have been booing. Not on the gamers. It will be on the OC. Such crap play-calling.
- For the 2026 rendition of Third Saturday in October, each groups wore their house coloured jerseys for the primary time in 56 years. I seemed up that sport final week however didn’t wish to point out it, as a result of Tennessee received that 1970 sport 24-0. What do you say we put this tried resurrected custom again in its grave?
- In response to Professional Soccer Focus, Alabama missed 23 tackles vs. Tennessee, a season-high. Earlier excessive was 15 in opposition to South Carolina. In fact it didn’t assist that the Vols received the time possession 35:44 to 24:16. However nonetheless that could be a disturbing quantity.
- I’m not certain what’s going on with the huge receiver corps. Noah Rogers was a starter throughout the A-Day scrimmage on April 8 however befell to an damage. It was an extended restoration however he gave the impression to be able to roll. On Monday every week in the past, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb stated that the NC State switch was “fairly shut” to 100%. On Saturday with WR1 Ryan Williams out, Rogers performed all of two snaps. Former 5-star Cederian Morgan has proven nice promise however he too was in on solely two performs. Sophomore Derek Meadows took up a lot of the slack, enjoying 51 of 55 complete offensive performs and catching two passes for eight yards on 4 targets. After Williams, Rico Scott has been getting a ton of enjoying time and targets. Versus the Vols, he performed 52 snaps with 4 receptions on 11 targets and 54 yards. Lotzeir Brooks was in on 37 performs and was 3 and three for 26 yards. I’m not certain what this technique of driving two huge receivers for a complete sport is about, however personally, I’d prefer to see extra rotation to get recent legs within the sport.
- Daniel Hill continues to get the majority of the work at working again (33 snaps). He had 34 yards on 7 carries however fumbled as soon as once more. In some unspecified time in the future, Grubb and Kalen DeBoer want to determine whether it is value persevering with to play slippery arms simply because he can cross block higher. After awhile, groups are going to gamble that he’s within the sport as a result of it’s a passing play and assume he can’t beat them with a run. Trae’shawn Brown (16 performs) and EJ Crowell (4, injured) didn’t make a lot affect. AK Pricey didn’t play and that could be a disgrace.
- Xavier Griffin performed solely 4 snaps at linebacker and I’ve to query why.
- Following the sport, DeBoer says Zabien Brown and EJ Crowell each have decrease extremity accidents and “we’ll work via it this week.” Brown exited to the locker room within the second quarter and returned in road garments. Crowell additionally went down within the second quarter and didn’t return to the sport, though he did come again to the sideline in uniform.
- On Monday, DeBoer stated about Ryan Williams “I’d not count on him to be training all week lengthy, however we’ll sort of see because the week will get to the top of what that appears like.”
- Heart Racin Delgatty didn’t play on Saturday and was changed by Mal Waldrep. Delgatty’s standing remains to be nebulous”week to week”.
- After an affordable blindside shot by Volunteers WR Mike Matthews, security Bray Hubbard was down on the sector however he would return to the sport.
- Concerning Terrance Inexperienced, he ”is progressing,” DeBoer stated. “I actually assume they’re all sort of in the identical spot. So Terrance is week-to-week proper now.”
GAME 8: Saturday, October 17, 2026
Alabama Crimson Tide (5-2, 3-2) vs Texas A&M (4-3, 1-3)
Tuscaloosa, AL ~ 2:30/3:30 ABC
- Coach: Mike Elko (23–10, 13–7 SEC in third season as a head coach)
- 2026 TAMU: The season began promising after massive wins over Missouri State and Arizona State. However then league play commenced with a heaping spoonful of humility. The Aggies misplaced to Kentucky, LSU, and Mizzou, however managed to slide by Arkansas. It’s been robust sledding for QB Marcel Reed now in his fourth 12 months and third season as a starter. It in all probability has not helped that Jimbo Fisher’s gamers are dissipating from this system with ten of them drafted this final April. That is now Elko’s group they usually don’t look so nice.
- Collection: The Crimson Tide leads the all-time sequence 13-3. The final TAMU win was in 2021 when Jake Calzada had his “Stephen Garcia sport”. Earlier to that was JFF throwing YOLO asses to Mike Evans in 2012. Bama has received the final two in 2022 and 2023, and ten of the final 11 conferences.
- Homecoming: The parade begins Saturday morning at 10 a.m. at College Blvd. East. Pre-game music from the Yacht Rock Revue – the style of music is simply what you assume. B)
- Honoring: The 2016 SEC Champions, one of many best Alabama groups to not win a Nationwide Championship. Reuben Foster and Eddie Jackson are honorary captains.
- Editorial: What occurred on the sector on the rubbish truck employee conference is proof of what Ryan Williams means to this offense. There’s a good probability the Tide must go with out his providers for awhile and
anyonesomebodies must step up. - Climate: Good soccer climate: Sunny and 77°.
