College football scores, games, updates: Washington State at Boise State, Arizona at Utah and more

The biggest game of the season so far was a huge success.

No. 4 Alabama had No. 2 Georgia on the ropes early in their top-five showdown, leading 28-0 at one point, but the Bulldogs just kept fighting back and forced a dramatic finish in Tuscaloosa. In the end, after exchanging the lead late in the fourth quarter, Alabama secured the victory with a miraculous catch-and-run TD by freshman Ryan Williams and a subsequent interception in the end zone by cornerback Zabien Brown.

The 41-34 score capped an incredible day of college football — one that started early when Kentucky took on No. 6 Ole Miss in Oxford and stunned the Rebels 20-17 in a back-and-forth that ended with a failed field goal that would have made the equalizer possible.

Later in the day, No. 21 Oklahoma received a late pick 6 to set up a comeback win against Auburn and earn its first SEC victory. No. 16 Notre Dame also earned a decisive victory by holding off No. 15 Louisville, while No. 9 Penn State battled No. 19 Illinois at home and Colorado defeated UCF on the road.

Follow along below as Yahoo Sports breaks down all the remaining action tonight.
