    Chaos Saturday: No. 1 Falls, Clock Error, Arch Exposed, Rays Tie ALCS

    Jim Rand breaks down the biggest sports stakes on The Rand Report: Sports. Saturday delivered historic college football chaos as five of the top seven teams lost for the first time ever. Auburn walked into Athens and beat No. 1 Georgia 27-24 on a walk-off field goal after out-physicaling the Dawgs.

Florida shut down Arch Manning and upset No. 7 Texas 27-24 at home, forcing Steve Sarkisian to evaluate everything. In the ALCS the Rays evened the series 2-2 after Chase DeLauter owned a costly seventh-inning error.
