Texas Tech scored in the final moment to upset No. 1 Texas in Lubbock. Now the Red Raiders are in the hunt for the national title.

Florida remembered what Georgia did a year ago, celebrating in the end zone. The Gators buried the Bulldogs this time around behind Tim Tebow.

The Titans remained unbeaten with a overtime win over the Packers.
