College football live scores, games, updates: Miami rallies past Cal to cap wild day

With only one matchup between top 25 teams on the slate, this week looked like it could be a dud. But college football always delivers when it's least expected, and it did in a big way on Saturday with two top-five upsets.

One week after holding off Georgia in a clash of SEC titans, No. 1 Alabama lost to Vanderbilt, 40-35, in a stunner in Nashville. Later, No. 4 Tennessee fell to Arkansas, 19-14, after a Hogs comeback in the fourth quarter to cap off a wild day in the SEC.

The Commodores were 23.5-point underdogs, but never trailed in the upset win. Vandy QB Diego Pavia was the hero, completing 16 of his 20 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 57 yards rushing.

The Razorbacks' defense was key in knocking off the Volunteers, holding Nico Iamaleava in check all night (17-of-29, 158 passing yards), but the hero was backup QB Malachi Singleton. He filled in after Taylen Green got hurt late in the game and led the Hogs on a game-winning touchdown drive, bolting into the end zone with his legs for an 11-yard score. The Vols had a chance for a rebuttal but came up short.

And even in the game that wasn't an upset, No. 8 Miami rallied from 25 points down to beat Cal 39-38 in late-night ACC action.

Elsewhere, No. 5 Georgia bounced back from its loss to Alabama by handling Auburn and No. 3 Ohio State looked convincing in a rout of Iowa while freshman Jeremiah Smith made yet another one-handed TD grab. No. 25 Texas A&M throttled No. 9 Missouri 41-10 early in the day in the only ranked-on-ranked matchup.

Here are the biggest winners and losers from Saturday's action. Follow the rest of the games tonight below.
