We’ve arrived at the home stretch of the 2024 college football regular season. Every game means more right now.
No. 6 BYU learned that the hard way with a 17-13 loss to Kansas late Saturday night. That ruins the Cougars’ perfect season.
Elsewhere, No. 1 Oregon had to survive an upset with a 16-13 road win at Wisconsin. And we saw Florida pull off a mild upset with a 27-16 win over No. 22 LSU.
And in the big matchup of the night, No. 12 Georgia pulled away from No. 7 Tennessee for a 31-17 victory that will play a crucial role in the SEC title race. Meanwhile, Travis Hunter continued to make a mark on his Heisman campaign with a monster game in Colorado’s 49-24 win over Utah.
