SEC Shakeup: Georgia, Alabama and Texas Lose on the Same Saturday for the First Time Since 1996

On Saturday, Georgia, Alabama, and Texas lost on the same day for the first time since October 26, 1996, marking a historic collapse of college football's premier programs.
Auburn defeated top-ranked Georgia 27-24 on a walk-off field goal, while Tennessee beat Alabama 26-10 and Florida upset Texas 27-24 in a chaotic SEC afternoon.
Texas quarterback Arch Manning fumbled with less than two minutes remaining, a week after an interception cost the Longhorns the Red River Rivalry; Tennessee's defense held Alabama to 201 yards.
The losses eliminate SEC unbeatens and shuffle College Football Playoff seeding; sportsbooks like Hard Rock Bet paid around 156-1 on three-team parlays of the three upsets.
Elsewhere, Ohio State escaped Indiana 19-15, keeping the Big Ten undefeated as top-ranked programs crumbled nationwide during a weekend reshaping playoff contention.
