A monster matchup in the Southeastern Conference goes down Saturday night in Athens, where the 5th-ranked Georgia Bulldogs host the No. 10 Texas Longhorns with College Football Playoff implications for both sides.

Back in January on the heels of a torrid close to the 2024 football season, South Carolina coach Shane Beamer signed an extension through 2030.

CHESTNUT HILL, Mass. — The Boston College Eagles (1-10, 0-7 ACC) football team fell short of the upset win against the No. 16 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (9-1, 6-1 ACC) 36-34 inside Alumni Stadium on Saturday night.

No. 14 Georgia Tech averted a catastrophe when placekicker Aidan Birr’s 23-yard field goal attempt sailed through the uprights with 11 seconds remaining to give the Yellow Jackets a 36-34 victory over BC on Saturday night at Alumni Stadium.

No. 17 USC recorded a statement win with a 26-21 victory over No. 21 Iowa at home.

USC was powered by another big performance from star wide receiver Makai Lemon, who finished with 10 catches for 153 yards and a touchdown.
