South Carolina came into the season with possible national title aspirations. But any hopes of even surviving the tumultuous SEC were likely extinguished when the Gamecocks surrendered 21 fourth quarter points on the road at Kentucky, including the final blow on a pick six with under three minutes left in a 45-38 Wildcats win.

With #2 Oregon and #3 Alabama going down, #4 Oklahoma had a golden chance to move up in the polls. But they trailed TCU much of the game, and the Horned Frogs' 41-yard interception return put TCU up for good as they upended the Sooners, 37-33. (AP Photo/Brandon Wade)

#8 UCLA looked like they might survive Utah, after a penalty in the final seconds erased a missed 55-yard field goal and gave the Bruins another chance from 50 yards out. But the second attempt sailed just wide right, as the Utes hung on, 30-28. (AP Photo/Alex Gallardo)

#14 Stanford had #9 Notre Dame on the ropes in South Bend, with the Irish down by four, facing a fourth and 11 with just seconds remaining. But Everett Golson connected on a 23-yard touchdown pass to a wide open Ben Koyack in the back of the end zone for a 17-14 win. (AP Photo/Darron Cummings)

Cal ran back-to-back kickoff attempts 100 and 98 yards, respectively, for touchdowns in the third quarter, but Connor Halliday had Wazzu on the brink of victory, thanks to his Division 1 record 734 yards passing.

One out from victory, the Nationals went to the bullpen, where the ghosts of 2012 struck Drew Storen once again on Pablo Sandoval's game-tying double. While a great relay from Bryce Harper and Ian Desmond cut Buster Posey down at the plate and sent Game 2 to extra innings, Brandon Belt delivered the game-winning home run for the Giants in the 18th, finally ending the longest game in MLB postseason history.

For the second time in three weeks in the PAC-12, a team snatched victory from the jaws of certain defeat on a Hail Mary, as Arizona State stunned USC in LA. At least as surprising as the outcome was the play itself, on which Jaelen Strong went untouched right up the middle of the field and into the end zone for a 38-34 victory.
