Alabama-Oklahoma, Florida-Ole Miss among latest college football upsets

Few sports can deliver upsets the way college football can.

Getting a win over the Florida Gators was crucial for the No. 9-ranked Ole Miss Rebels. However, Florida, riding high on momentum from their Week 12 victory over then-No. 22 LSU, seized control of the game and defeated Ole Miss 24-17.

The game came down to the wire, and Ole Miss' path to victory seemed to widen when an interception by Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart was overturned to an incomplete pass. However, Dart had another chance to lead a comeback but ultimately threw a game-sealing pick, solidifying Florida's upset victory and effectively knocking the Rebels' out of the College Football Playoff contention.

This is the first time Florida has beaten a ranked opponent in consecutive weeks as an unranked team since 2003, according to ESPN Research.

Florida's triumph wasn't the biggest upset of the day.

Just a few hours after the Rebels fell victim to an upset defeat on the road in Gainesville, Florida, fellow two-loss SEC foe theAlabama Crimson Tide were dispatched by the Oklahoma Sooners in Norman, Oklahoma.

Jalen Milroe was picked off three times in the 24-3 defeat, which marked No. 7 Alabama's largest loss to an unranked opponent when ranked in the top 10 themselves. The 21-point deficit was the largest the team had faced since the 2019 national championship game against the Clemson Tigers, according to ESPN Research.

With the Crimson Tide's defeat, three teams in the current College Football Playoff top 10 -- the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers and No. 9 Ole Miss, among them -- suffered losses Saturday. Adding to the upsets, the No. 16 Colorado Buffaloes joined Alabama and Ole Miss as ranked teams that fell to unranked opponents.
