- Oklahoma posted "IT'S 6:32 AND ..." after Tate Sandell's 47-yard field goal as time expired sealed the Sooners' Red River Rivalry upset of No. 1 Texas, and Sooners players planted a flag in front of the Longhorns as they left the field.
- Kentucky walked off LSU 35-34 on a 2-point conversion in overtime for the second straight week, then posted a graphic set inside an LSU facility image featuring a fake pregame Kenny Minchey quote that had circulated online.
- Georgia Tech beat Duke 28-25 on a go-ahead touchdown with less than a minute left and posted "TOUR ENDS HERE" in direct response to Duke's pregame hype video captioned "The revenge tour continues."
- Oklahoma State rolled UCF 42-28 behind Drew Mestemaker's 304 passing yards and 21 unanswered second-half points, captioning the final-score post "Brought a sword to a gun fight."
- Arizona's mascot Wilbur was depicted karaoke-ing "Take Me Home, Country Roads" in a postgame graphic after the Wildcats' 52-31 road win at West Virginia, scoring 10-plus points in each quarter.
- Jacksonville State erased a 23-14 deficit to beat Kennesaw State 27-26 on a 33-yard Garrison Rippa field goal with 52 seconds left, posting a gamecock-on-owl-sculpture image captioned "HOO?"
Why it matters: Three rivalry walk-offs β Oklahoma's 47-yard field goal over No. 1 Texas, Kentucky's overtime 2-point conversion at LSU, and Jacksonville State's 33-yard field goal with 52 seconds left β came paired with postgame posts that functioned as a rivalry's 'second act.' That second act is now bleeding into pregame and physical space, with Kentucky reportedly planting a fake pregame quote inside LSU's facility and Oklahoma physically flag-planting as Texas left the field.
