Final: Alabama 41, Georgia 34
No. 4 Alabama wins an absolutely crazy game over No. 2 Georgia. Bama blew a 28-point lead but found a way to save it with Ryan Williams' circus catch in the final minutes.
The biggest game of the season so far delivered in a big way.
No. 4 Alabama had No. 2 Georgia on the ropes early in their top-five showdown, up 28-0 at one point, but the Bulldogs just kept fighting their way back and forced a dramatic finish in Tuscaloosa. In the end, after trading leads late in the fourth quarter, Alabama secured the win with a miraculous catch-and-run TD by freshman Ryan Williams, and then an interception in the end zone by cornerback Zabien Brown.
The 41-34 finish was the capper on an incredible day of college football action — one that got going early when Kentucky went into Oxford against No. 6 Ole Miss and stunned the Rebels, 20-17, in a back-and-forth affair that ended with a shanked field goal that would've tied it.

And to cap the night, No. 25 Boise State rode running back Ashton Jeanty to a big 45-24 win over Washington State.

Under-fire Erik ten Hag was frustrated by some risible Manchester United defending in a chaotic Europa League clash that looked set to end in a humiliating loss in Porto until Harry Maguire’s late leveller. Sunday’s shambolic 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham increased the focus on the Dutch manager, whose side flew out of the blocks in Portugal as Marcus Rashford and Rasmus Hojlund struck. But United’s soft underbelly was exposed as Pepe and Samu Omorodion then scored in quick succession, with the latter – a summer target of Chelsea – then slamming Porto ahead early in the second half.
