Week 9 of the college football season provided plenty of excitement, and a handful of upsets to boot.
The most notable upset came courtesy of unranked Kansas, who welcomed No. 6 Oklahoma to town and dispatched the College Football Playoff contenders, 38–33. Elsewhere, No. 17 North Carolina fell to unranked Georgia Tech for its second consecutive loss as a double-digit favorite.
No. 1 Georgia took care of business in emphatic fashion with a 23-point win against rival Florida, while No. 3 Ohio State and No. 5 Washington survived tough road tests to continue their undefeated seasons.

For most teams, putting up 42 points and 577 yards on offense should be enough to win, but those efforts were all for naught due to the latest dud from UNC’s defense.
ARLINGTON, Texas — As his team’s first World Series appearance in two decades dawned, Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen found his joy cut with some frustration. So many people seemed to see an 84-win, sixth seed that didn’t deserve to be here. He saw a roster he believed the sport had been begging to watch for some three decades.
“I don’t see how it’s bad for the sport,” he said. “I would hope that everybody wants everyone to compete. Nobody wants rebuilding and tanking. That’s all I’ve heard for the last whatever years.
In a World Series game where the Diamondbacks‘ offense came roaring to life, Arizona second baseman Ketel Marte etched his name in baseball history.
Marte’s two-run single off Rangers pitcher Martín Pérez in the top of the eighth in Saturday’s Game 2 marked the 18th straight postseason game in which Marte has gotten a hit—the longest streak in MLB history.
Colorado just could not handle the physicality of No. 23 UCLA.
It was a Saturday to forget for some college football juggernauts.
Starting pitcher Merrill Kelly delivered another dominant performance with 9 strikeouts and Arizona’s offense provided more than enough in the 9-1 victory.
Johns Hopkins University found an unusual way to win a game on Saturday, and it was a final play that would’ve been a roller coaster of emotions for fans.
The Blue Jays journeyed up to the Lehigh Valley for a matchup against Muhlenberg College Mules in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
That part of the Keystone State is known for being home to all kinds of stuff. Crayola crayons, Martin acoustic guitars, and everyone’s least favorite Easter candy, Peeps. However, on Saturday it was also home to about as thrilling of an ending to a Division III football game as you will ever see.
Colorado already had its hands full against No. 25 UCLA Saturday evening—the Bruins are a Chip Kelly-coached team, after all, and the Buffaloes have hardly been airtight on defense this season.
However, one particular play in the first half thinned out Colorado’s defense even further. With 3:18 left in the second quarter, Buffaloes safety Shilo Sanders laid a massive hit on UCLA running back Carsen Ryan. As he celebrated, the officials flagged him for targeting and he was promptly ejected from the game.
Jordan Poole tried to bring some Steph Curry magic to the Wizards’ game on Saturday night. It did not work.
Facing the Grizzlies, Poole spotted up for a corner three in the first quarter. With the ball still hanging in the air, Poole turned around to face the crowd and the Memphis bench, anticipating an explosion from the home fans as his shot fell through the net.
This celebration is a staple of Curry’s arsenal, and a move that Poole saw up close a number of times during his years with Golden State.
