Final: BYU 22, Utah 21
Somehow, some way, BYU finds a way to escape with another win. The Cougars' dream season keeps going as they get to 9-0 after rallying from 11 points down to beat their rivals.
Week 11 was supposed to be an SEC showcase and instead it was the ACC that captured the nation's attention early.
No. 4 Miami has been playing with fire all season and the Hurricanes finally got burned after a late fumble doomed their comeback attempt at Georgia Tech.
The SEC still had all the shine later in the day though. In the afternoon marquee, No. 16 Ole Miss delivered perhaps the biggest win of Lane Kiffin's tenure in knocking off No. 3 Georgia. And No. 11 Alabama crushed No. 15 LSU 42-13 to effectively knock the Tigers out of the playoff picture.
And in the nightcap, No. 9 BYU pulled off an heart-stopping 22-21 comeback win over Utah to remain undefeated at 9-0.
Elsewhere, No. 20 Colorado held off Texas Tech and bolstered its Big 12 title game hopes in the process as Iowa State stumbled for a second straight loss. And Jeremiah Smith set a freshman record for Ohio State, while Oregon QB Dillon Gabriel broke the all-time FBS touchdown record.
Here's how it all played out on Saturday.
