What happened: Auburn holds a 17-14 halftime lead over No. 1 Georgia behind a productive ground attack against the Bulldogs' defense. The unranked Tigers rallied after falling behind 14-0 early in Athens.

Why it matters: An upset of top-ranked Georgia on the road would reshape the SEC and College Football Playoff picture during the 2026 regular season. Auburn built the halftime edge despite playing without suspended linebacker Xavier Atkins.

What to watch: Auburn receives the opening kickoff of the second half with a chance to extend its three-point lead over the Bulldogs.
