Week 10 doesn’t look nearly as dynamic as the last two weeks, but the weaker slates almost always deliver an upset or two — and it didn’t take long for one to happen on Saturday.
Unranked SMU made a late comeback to send the game to overtime, and then beat No. 10 Miami on a short TD run after Carson Beck threw an interception on the Hurricanes’ possession. The loss will likely have ACC and CFP implications for Miami.

No. 20 Texas got things started earlier in the day with a crucial SEC win over No. 9 Vanderbilt as Arch Manning picked the Commodores apart before a late Vandy rally made things interesting.
What else does Saturday have in store? Here’s how to watch college football in Week 10, and you can follow all the action below (scroll for live updates).
Here are the best games left tonight:
The winner will continue to harbor serious College Football Playoff hopes. The loser will likely be eliminated from the playoff conversation. No pressure. Oklahoma’s offense hasn’t played great since QB John Mateer returned from right hand surgery, so the edge goes to Tennessee.

The Bearcats enter the weekend tied with No. 10 BYU at 5-0 in the conference and a game ahead of both Texas Tech and Houston. Cincinnati QB Brendan Sorsby has been very good throwing the football. Utah QB Devon Dampier has been dealing with an ankle injury and did not play last week.
