Alabama and LSU’s annual meeting in the “First Saturday in November” — which was played on the second Saturday in November this season — was the headliner, with the No. 11 Crimson Tide coming through with a 42-13 victory against the No. 13 Tigers under the famed lights of Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge.

In another meeting of ranked teams with significant College Football Playoff implications, No. 12 Ole Miss knocked off No. 2 Georgia 28-10, with the Rebels holding the Bulldogs to just 245 total yards. It was the first loss by coach Kirby Smart’s team to an opponent other than Alabama since November 2020.

No. 25 Vanderbilt also fell, dropping a 28-7 decision to a South Carolina team that’s now bowl eligible and may just find its way to a national ranking, particularly one week after an emphatic win against Texas A&M.

Elsewhere, some of the results were more predictable.

No. 5 Texas throttled Florida 49-10 in the first game for the Gators since the university’s athletic leadership announced that it would not be making a coaching change and that Billy Napier will remain in charge in Gainesville in 2025. No. 6 Tennessee had its way with Mississippi State, rolling past the winless-in-the-SEC Bulldogs 33-14.
