The No. 4 Miami Hurricanes, the ACC's highest ranked team, had been playing with fire having to come back from second-half deficits multiple times this season. It finally caught up to them. The Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets piled up 271 yards rushing to pull off the upset. Then the No. 2 Georgia Bulldogs lost to someone other than the Alabama Crimson Tide for the first time since 2020 with the Ole Miss Rebels picking up the win to stay alive for a potential at-large playoff spot.
According to ESPN Research, it's the third time that two of the top four teams in the initial CFP rankings have lost their next game (2019, 2022).
