College football scores, results: No. 10 Texas A&M blown out by South Carolina, No. 11 Clemson falls to Louisville

Week 10 didn't look like a loaded schedule on paper, but the upsets were lurking all along.

No. 10 Texas A&M was throttled in a 44-20 loss to unranked South Carolina, sending the top of the SEC standings into chaos.

And the two teams tied for No. 11 in the AP poll both went down Saturday, with No. 11 Clemson getting blown out by Louisville, 33-21, while No. 11 Iowa State suffered a stunning 23-22 loss at home to Texas Tech.

Iowa State was one of three previously undefeated teams to lose on the day, joining Penn State and Pitt.

In the marquee game of the day, No. 4 Ohio State held strong on a crucial fourth-down stand at the goal line to stave off No. 3 Penn State. It's a massive victory for the Buckeyes, and yet another loss in a big game for James Franklin and the Nittany Lions.

No. 18 Pitt was utterly outclassed in a 48-25 loss to No. 20 SMU, which improves to 5-0 in ACC play.

Elsewhere, Houston knocked off No. 17 Kansas State to further shake up the Big 12 standings.

In SEC action, Jaxson Dart and Jordan Watkins put on a show in No. 19 Ole Miss' blowout win over Arkansas, setting all kinds of records in the process. Diego Pavia proved to be Hugh Freeze's foil once again, leading Vanderbilt over Auburn to accomplish something that hadn't been done since 1955. And No. 2 Georgia held off a pesky Florida team to escape with a win.

Here's how it all went down on Saturday:

LIVE COVERAGE IS OVER156 updates
  • Final: SMU 48, Pitt 25

    SMU throttles previously undefeated Pitt in impressive fashion. The Mustangs are 8-1 and 5-0 in ACC play, tied with Miami for first place atop the conference.

  • Final: Tennessee 28, Kentucky 18

    It was shaky at times, as the Vols trailed at halftime. But UT gets the win it needed to improve to 7-1 and 4-1 in SEC play.

  • Final: Louisville 33, Clemson 21

    The Tigers suffer another big loss β€” this time in a vital ACC clash against Louisville.

  • Final: South Carolina 44, Texas A&M 20

    The Gamecocks won this one going away, scoring 24 straight points after being tied with the Aggies at halftime.

  • Touchdown South Carolina

    The Gamecocks tack on another touchdown for good measure, another one by Rocket Sanders.

    It's over in Columbia.

    South Carolina 44, Texas A&M 20

  • TD Tennessee

    Dylan Sampson pushes the pile into the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown run.

    And the lead is back up to 10 for UT with 4:55 to play.

    Tennessee 28, Kentucky 18

    The score also helped Sampson break the UT single-season rushing TD record (19).

  • Touchdown South Carolina!

    The Gamecocks are going to win another big one! LaNorris Sellers hits Joshua Simon for a short pass and he runs it 57 yards for a touchdown.

    South Carolina 37, Texas A&M 20

  • Touchdown Clemson

    It's too little, too late for the Tigers as Phil Mafah runs it in for a touchdown.

    Louisville 33, Clemson 21

  • South Carolina forces punt

    Facing a fourth-and-21 with just over 5 minutes left in the game, Texas A&M has to punt it back to South Carolina.

  • Touchdown Louisville!

    That's ballgame, folks! Isaac Brown just ripped right through the Clemson defense for a quick-hitting 45-yard touchdown run and that'll all but do it for this one.

    Louisville 33, Clemson 14

  • Louisville gets onside kick

    After curiously going for an extra point instead of a two-point conversion, Clemson kicks an onside kick and Louisville recovers it. So the Tigers still trail by 12 with under 6 minutes left in the game.

  • Touchdown Kentucky!

    Just when you thought Tennessee was about to put this one away, UK comes right back with a TD drive led by new QB Gavin Wimsatt. Drive was capped by Ja'Mori Maclin's incredible one-handed 32-yard catch in the end zone. It's a 3-point game in Knoxville after UK converts on the 2-point try.

    Tennessee 21, Kentucky 18

  • Touchdown Clemson

    The Tigers get one back on a short run by Phil Mafah, but they're running out of time. We're under the 6-minute mark now.

    Louisville 26, Clemson 14

  • Interception South Carolina!

    The Gamecocks have the ball right back on a poor decision by Marcel Reed. It briefly appeared that O'Donnell Fortune returned the interception for a touchdown, but he was ruled to have stepped out.

    There's under 14 minutes left in this one.

  • Tennessee INT leads to TD!

    Nico Iamaleava's 6-yard touchdown pass to Miles Kitselman pays off a huge interception by UT's Will Brooks on a pass by Kentucky QB Brock Vandagriff. Brooks returned it all the way to the UK 10-yard line to set up the score.

    Tennessee 21, Kentucky 10, late 3rd

    Here's the INT:

  • Clemson FG blocked!

    The Tigers' day goes from bad to worse as a short field goal attempt is blocked.

    It's Louisville ball and that could be the death knell for Clemson with just over 12 minutes left in the fourth quarter.

  • End of 3Q: Louisville 26, Clemson 7

    The Tigers are driving for a score as the third quarter comes to a close, but they're quickly running out of time in this pivotal ACC clash.

  • Tennessee retakes the lead!

    Dylan Sampson's 7-yard rush puts the Vols back in front. UT capitalized on a short field set up by a fumble lost by UK quarterback Brock Vandagriff.

    Tennessee 14, Kentucky 10

  • South Carolina tacks on FG

    The Gamecocks are now up 10 after a field goal by Alex Herrera. The Aggies offense has not been effective at all in the second half.

    South Carolina 30, Texas A&M 20

  • Tennessee misses another FG

    Max Gilbert is not having a good day. He just missed his 3rd field goal attempt of the game, this one from 34 yards. Vols are really struggling to score in the red zone today.

    Kentucky 10, Tennessee 7

  • Louisville adds 2 FGs

    The Cardinals came out of the halftime break and just kept on plugging away. They've had two field goals in two second-half possessions so far. The Tigers appear to be in trouble β€” especially on offense.

    Louisville 23, Clemson 7

  • Touchdown South Carolina!

    Just like that, Rocket Sanders has delivered a gamebreaker early in the second half. The star running back just bolted right through Texas A&M's defense for a 52-yard touchdown.

    South Carolina 27, Texas A&M 20

  • Interception of the year?

    Just look at this wild interception in an otherwise plodding and ugly game between Iowa and Wisconsin:

  • An ambulance is on the field for SMU DB AJ Davis, who went down with an apparent neck injury.

    Long delay to get him loaded onto a stretcher. There are early reports that Davis is able to move, per the broadcast.

  • SMU adds to the lead

    The Mustangs continue their first-half domination of No. 18 Pitt.

    Kevin Jennings passeds to Brashard Smith for a 3-yard TD to make it 28-3 SMU.

    The Gamecocks had pieced together a decent drive, but it fizzled out just short of field goal range and they turn it back over to the Aggies after a fourth-down conversion fails.
