Unranked Auburn upsets top-ranked Georgia with walk-off field goal, marking wild feat not seen in 36 years
Unranked Auburn beat No. 1 Georgia 27-24 with a 34-yard field goal as time expired, ending the Bulldogs’ 53-game run of wins against unranked opponents. The defeat also marks the first time since 1990 that the nation’s top-ranked team has lost to an unranked opponent in consecutive weeks, leaving the No. 1 spot open.
Georgia led 14-0, then went scoreless across five drives as Auburn surged ahead with 24 unanswered points. The Bulldogs tied the game with a 13-play, 94-yard drive, but Gunnar Stockton fumbled with 58 seconds left; Auburn advanced into field-goal range and Alex McPherson made the winning kick. Georgia is now 5-1 and will face Florida on 31 October, while Auburn hosts LSU next week.
