College football scores, results: Oregon's wild win over Ohio State tops another chaotic day
Updated
We knew it'd be hard for Week 7 to match the drama of Week 6, but it was almost as intense.
In the marquee matchup of the day, No. 3 Oregon held on to beat No. 2 Ohio State 32-31 in a back-and-forth heavyweight tilt in Eugene. The Big Ten showdown was the first top-three matchup of the season and delivered at every turn with lead changes galore and a dramatic finish.
And in perhaps the most thrilling game Saturday, No. 13 LSU came back to beat No. 9 Mississippi on a Garrett Nussmeier TD throw in overtime. It was a crucial result in a crowded SEC title race as we reach the midway point in this year's college football season.
And to cap the night, No. 18 Kansas State hung on to beat Colorado 31-28 after a wild finish in Boulder.
Earlier in the day, No. 7 Alabama dealt with another nail-biter at home against South Carolina. The Crimson Tide needed some late-game defensive heroics to survive against the Gamecocks in a 27-25 win. Later on, No. 4 Penn State needed a comeback of its own before eking out a 33-30 win in overtime at the Coliseum.
Meanwhile, the No. 1 team in the country left no question as to how its Red River Rivalry game with Oklahoma was going to go. The Longhorns allowed an early field goal before scoring 34 straight points in a rout at the Cotton Bowl.
Here's how it all went down on Saturday.

Final: Kansas State 31, Colorado 28
Another dramatic finish for a Colorado team that's become known for them. This time, No. 18 Kansas State comes out on top. Wildcats improve to 5-1 and the Buffs fall to 4-2. And the Big 12 remains wide open.

Colorado turns it over on downs!
Shedeur Sanders' pass to the sideline is incomplete. There was some contact, and the Buffs wanted a PI call. No dice. Kansas State can kneel this one out for the win.

LSU, Ole Miss trade INTs
It's gotten a bit sloppy in Death Valley. One play after Ole Miss QB Jaxson Dart threw an interception to LSU's Zy Alexander in the end zone, LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier returned the favor by throwing a pick of his own on an ill-advised deep throw into double coverage.
