- Oklahoma stunned top-ranked Texas on a walkoff field goal, keeping the Sooners' CFP hopes alive, though they still face three ranked opponents in the second half of the season.
- Kentucky handed No. 10 LSU an overtime loss and UCLA knocked off No. 13 Oregon 21-13 on the road, two results that scrambled the playoff conversation and pushed new teams into the projected bracket.
- South Carolina returned to bowl projections at 2-3 after a shocking upset at Florida — only the program's third all-time win at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium — powered by LaNorris Sellers' five-touchdown outing.
- Bill Belichick earned his first win over a ranked opponent as North Carolina's head coach, erasing a 10-point deficit to beat previously unbeaten Pittsburgh and improve to 3-2.
- Nebraska lost 20-17 to Indiana after leading most of the game, extending Matt Rhule's winless streak against ranked opponents to 0-10 at the school.
- Miami stands as the only remaining unbeaten ACC team after Georgia Tech beat Duke and North Carolina upended Pittsburgh on Saturday.
- Houston stayed in Big 12 contention with a three-touchdown win at Kansas State, remaining one two-point conversion at Texas Tech away from a potential 6-0 record.
- Oregon State, riding a four-game win streak behind QB-WR duo Brady Atkinson and Jesse Legree, has a shot at the Pac-12 title but cannot reach the playoff even by running the table.
Why it matters: Oklahoma's takedown of No. 1 Texas and UCLA's road upset of Oregon inject three new contenders into the CFP conversation while gutting the résumés of the teams they beat — and with only eight unbeaten Power Four teams left, every remaining loss carries outsized weight on seeding and at-large bids for the 12-team bracket.
