Vanderbilt is staggeringly upset of No. 1 Alabama, which led to crazed fans marching past the goalposts through the streets of Nashville, was just the appetizer.

Saturday turned out to be one of the wildest days in the world AP poll in years.

Four teams ranked in the top 11 in the latest poll were upset by unranked teams on Saturday, the first time this has happened in a single day since November 12, 2016, when five teams did so, according to Sportradar.

What seemed like a quiet day on paper with only one game between ranked teams turned out to be anything but calm with No. 1 Alabama, No. 4 Tennessee, No. 10 Michigan And No. 11 Southern California they all lose to unranked teams. Another top 10 team lost Saturday, with No. 9 Missouri being knocked off 41-10 at No. 25 Texas A&M.

This marked the first time that two SEC teams in the top five lost to unranked conference opponents on the same day and it was the fifth time in the past two decades that at least five teams in the top 11 lost on the same day .

Vanderbilt started off in surprising fashion by beating the Crimson Tide 40-35, just a week after Alabama jumped to first place in the poll with a 41-34 win over Georgia. According to Sportradar, the Commodores were 0-60 against top-five teams, which was the most games for any team to have lost every game against a top-five team. Temple now takes over that title with an 0-25 record.

The fans then broke down the goal posts and carried them for just over a few miles, until they threw them at the goal post for just over a few miles before throwing them away. in the Cumberland River.

“This is the dream, right here,” Vanderbilt coach Clark Lea said. “And for the next twelve hours I’m going to enjoy the dream. We have more in store, but this is what Vanderbilt football should be about: big wins on big stages. We’re going to get a few more.”

The setbacks and exciting matches were far from over.

The Volunteers were the next highest-ranked team to fall when Malachi Singleton scored on an 11-yard run with 1:17 left to lift Arkansas to a 19-14 victory at home.

Tennessee still had a chance driving to the Arkansas 20, but Nico Iamaleava was pushed out of bounds on fourth and fifth at the 16th as time expired. Arkansas fans immediately stormed the field.

Two more field storms followed in the Big Ten that weren’t nearly as shocking.

Washington defeated Michigan 27-17 in a rematch of the national championship, missing both the coaches from the title game and most of the key players.

“It feels good. You lose to them in the championship and to come back and win and beat them, it feels good,” said Kamren Fabiculanan, one of the few players on the Huskies roster from the championship game.

The loss ended Michigan’s 24-game Big Ten regular-season winning streak. The Wolverines had not suffered a Big Ten loss since falling to Michigan State on Oct. 30, 2021.

Minnesota then eliminated USC when Max Brosmer drove into the end zone for a fourth-and-goal from the 1 with 56 seconds left for a 24-17 victory.

The on-field referees ruled him wanting, but the replay review resulted in a turnaround that the entire stadium knew was coming.

The play ended when Miller Moss’ jump shot was intercepted in the end zone. The crowd poured onto the field to engulf the Gophers in a raucous celebration of their first win over the Trojans since 1955.
