We saw Oregon win at Penn State in double-overtime. We saw Alabama go into Georgia and hand the Bulldogs their first night home loss since 2009. We saw Illinois pull off a last-second win over USC. We saw Ole Miss hold off LSU in Oxford. And, of course, there were plenty of other notable results in the college football world this weekend.
