We’ve reached the starting stretch of the 2024 college football regular season. Every game matters more at this point.

No. 6 BYU learned that the hard way with a 17-13 upset loss to Kansas late Saturday night. It ruins the Cougars’ perfect season.

Elsewhere mat no. 1 Oregon survived an upset scare with a 16-13 win at Wisconsin. And we saw Florida pull away a bit with a 27-16 win over No. 22 LSU.

And in the night’s selection match, No. 12 Georgia itself from no. 7 in Tennessee for a 31-17 victory that will play a pivotal role in the SEC title race. Meanwhile, Travis Hunter continued to put a stamp on his Heisman campaign with a monster game in Colorado’s 49-24 win over Utah.

Stay tuned the rest of the night for live updates. (Scroll down to follow the action live.)
