College football live scores, games, updates: Miami overtakes Cal to cap wild day

College football live scores, games, updates: Miami overtakes Cal to cap wild day

With only one matchup between the top 25 teams on the schedule, this week looked like it might be a dud. But college football always delivers when you least expect it, and it pulled off a big one on Saturday with two upsets in the top five.

A week after beating Georgia in a clash of SEC titans, No. 1 Alabama lost 40-35 to Vanderbilt in Nashville. Later, No. 4 Tennessee fell 19-14 to Arkansas after the Hogs staged a fourth-quarter comeback to cap a wild day in the SEC.

The Commodores were 23.5 point underdogs, but never trailed in the surprising win. Vandy QB Diego Pavia was the hero, completing 16 of his 20 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 57 yards rushing.

The Razorbacks' defense was key to the win over the Volunteers, keeping Nico Iamaleava in check all night (17 of 29, 158 yards), but the hero was backup QB Malachi Singleton. He stepped in after Taylen Green was injured late in the game and led the Hogs on a game-winning touchdown drive, using his legs to rocket into the end zone for an 11-yard score. The Vols had a chance to fight back, but failed.

And even in the game that wasn't a surprise, No. 8 Miami rallied from a 25-point deficit to beat Cal 39-38 in night ACC action.

Elsewhere, No. 5 Georgia bounced back from its loss to Alabama by beating Auburn, and No. 3 Ohio State looked convincing in a win over Iowa, with freshman Jeremiah Smith making another one-handed touchdown grab. No. 25 Texas A&M throttled No. 9 Missouri 41-10 earlier in the day in the only ranked-versus-ranked matchup.

Here are the biggest winners and losers from Saturday's action. Follow the rest of tonight's games below.
