Tennessee becomes the 4th top-10 team to lose in Week 6

Upset Saturday is here for the 2024 season.

Tennessee is the latest casualty in Week 6, falling to Arkansas 19-14 on Saturday night in Fayetteville. It’s a stunning loss for the No. 4 team in the country considering how dominant they’ve been so far in the season.

Arkansas took the lead with over a minute left, giving the Vols time to march down the field and possibly win the game. But the Razorbacks were able to pull off a stop in the final seconds of the game to earn one of their most memorable victories in recent program history.

However, Tennessee is far from the only team to lose in shocking fashion this weekend. No. No. 1 Alabama, No. 9 Missouri and No. 10 Michigan all lost this weekend. Teams outside the top-10 weren’t safe either, as No. 11 USC fell on the road to Minnesota. The Tide, Wolverines and Trojans all lost to unranked foes on Saturday.

There could also be more carnage this weekend: Tennessee’s loss came as No. 10 Miami still battled Cal in the first half of that game.

Ohio State, Georgia, Oregon and Penn State are the only top-10 teams to win this week (while the Miami result is still pending). Each of these teams is likely poised to move up in the next version of the AP Top 25, which will be released Sunday afternoon. The same could be said for Texas, who was inactive in Week 6.
