- Auburn 27, No. 1 Georgia 24: Alex McPherson made a 34-yard field goal as time expired. Byrum Brown ran for 115 yards and a touchdown and passed for 150 yards and another score.
- No. 8 BYU 28, No. 2 Notre Dame 24: Bear Bachmeier threw the go-ahead touchdown with 1:47 left. He passed for 224 yards and ran for two touchdowns; BYU stopped Notre Dame at the goal line to preserve the win.
- No. 4 Ohio State 19, No. 5 Indiana 15: Julian Sayin threw for 235 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions, before leaving with an arm injury. Charlie Becker caught nine passes for 165 yards for Indiana. No return timetable is asserted here.
- No. 14 Tennessee 26, No. 6 Alabama 10: DeSean Bishop ran for 159 yards and two touchdowns. Alabama finished with 201 total yards, four turnovers and two conversions on 13 third downs.
ISR analysis: The close finishes and Tennessee's defensive control were different routes to the final scores. Evaluate the possession-level evidence behind each result instead of treating every upset as the same kind of performance.
MLB: Rays level the ALCS
| Matchup / box score | Score | Status |
|---|---|---|
| TB @ CLE | Tampa Bay Rays 7 · Cleveland Guardians 3 | Final |
- Tampa Bay 7, Cleveland 3: The Rays tied the ALCS at 2–2.
- Aranda and Caminero supply the middle innings: Jonathan Aranda had three hits and two RBIs; Junior Caminero's sixth-inning double drove in the go-ahead run.
- Díaz adds insurance: Yandy Díaz hit a two-run homer in the ninth.
- Martinez sets the pitching foundation: Nick Martinez allowed one run on two hits in 5⅓ innings, with two walks and three strikeouts.
ISR analysis: The four-run margin was not the whole game's shape. Tampa Bay first had to move ahead in the sixth, then create separation. Sequence and baserunners give more context than the margin alone.
