- No. 11 Oklahoma edged No. 22 Auburn 24-17 as John Mateer threw for 271 yards and scored the go-ahead 9-yard TD run with 4:54 left, and the Sooners recorded a school-record 10 sacks including a late safety.
- A controversial Oklahoma touchdown involved a movement resembling a substitution tactic; ABC rules analyst Matt Austin said it should have drawn an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.
- Oregon State fell to 0-4, with coach Trent Bray citing second-half lapses, special teams errors and loss of focus after saying the Beavers "let go of the rope."
- Nebraska’s 30-27 home loss to Michigan featured missed chances, including a failed fourth down, a missed 44-yard field goal and an early interception in a game the Cornhuskers nearly salvaged late.
