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

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.
