College football live scores, games, updates: Clemson at Florida State, Tennessee-Arkansas and more

With only one matchup between top 25 teams on the slate, this week looked like it could be a dud. But college football always delivers when it's least expected, and it did in a big way on Saturday.

One week after holding off Georgia in a clash of SEC titans, No. 1 Alabama lost to Vanderbilt, 40-35, in a stunner in Nashville. The Commodores were 23.5-point underdogs, but never trailed in the upset win. Vandy QB Diego Pavia was the hero, completing 16 of his 20 passes for 252 yards and two touchdowns while also adding 57 yards rushing.

Elsewhere, No. 5 Georgia bounced back from its loss to Alabama by handling Auburn and No. 2 Ohio State looked convincing in a rout of Iowa while freshman Jeremiah Smith made yet another one-handed TD grab. No. 25 Texas A&M throttled No. 9 Missouri 41-10 early in the day in the only ranked-on-ranked matchup.

Here are the games we're keeping a close eye on Saturday night. All times are Eastern and all odds are from BetMGM.

7:30 p.m. | TV: ABC | Line: Tennessee -13.5 | Total 58.5

Tennessee’s offense has produced the highlights so far, but the defense has given up just 28 points over four games and the defensive line has shown itself to be one of the best in the SEC. It'll be a big challenge for the Arkansas offense, which can be explosive when it’s not turning the ball over.

10:30 p.m. | TV: ESPN | Line: Miami -10.5 | Total: 54.5

Miami’s learning what life is like in the new ACC as it heads out west to visit the Bears for a late-night kickoff in Berkeley, which is also hosting "GameDay." Can Miami and Heisman hopeful QB Cam Ward keep rolling against a feisty Cal team which is off to a 3-1 start?
