We\u2019ve done our best to round up the best of the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>I try to avoid simply posting game highlights here. You can catch those anywhere. Instead, this is a mix of the on- and off-field stories that won the internet on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>This is a new weekly segment that we\u2019ll plan on doing throughout the remainder of the year. Be sure to look back at an <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/viral-moments-week-5-college-football-season\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">action-packed Week 5<\/a> if you missed it in order to get a feel for what to expect.<\/p>\n<p>12 viral college football moments that won the internet.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s start in the SEC with what was the biggest game of the week. Georgia and Alabama met in Tuscaloosa for a heavyweight showdown. The Bulldogs won to secure a No. 1 national ranking. It didn\u2019t come without fireworks or controversy, though!<\/p>\n<p>Alabama fans, Kalen DeBoer melt down.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Fans threw objects at Georgia players after Alabama\u2019s loss. https:\/\/t.co\/Wr8XlI55Vv<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 ESPN (@espn) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/espn\/status\/2109124406630817835?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 11, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Alabama lost in controversial fashion to Georgia, 20-17. A crucial pass interference call was missed on the Tide\u2019s final drive. A self-inflicted wound prevented the offense from getting the ball back.<\/p>\n<p>Kalen DeBoer erupted on his defense for a personal foul that effectively ended the game. He unloaded on referees after the missed PI. Fans followed suit.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/angry-alabama-fans-throw-beer-bottles-at-georgia-players-after-loss\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The crowd threw objects from the stands after the loss<\/a>.

His pre- and post-game speeches each made headlines after being leaked on social media.<\/p>\n<p>I didn\u2019t post the video above due to language, but they are must-listens.

Through six games, he ranks second nationally in touchdown catches and receiving yards. He had another productive day against Maryland over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Smith went for 93 yards and two scores in a 45-16 win. His one-handed grab just before halftime, in the rain no less, caught viewers\u2019 attention. It also set up a Buckeyes\u2019 score.<\/p>\n<p>The receiver now has multiple touchdowns in three straight games. He\u2019s averaging 172 yards per contest during that time and is almost even-money to win the award per the sportsbooks.<\/p>\n<p>Referees botch Oregon\u2019s try.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">B1G stop for the @UCLAFootball defense \ud83d\ude24<\/p>\n<p>Watch on CBS https:\/\/t.co\/4D5uXBUyic<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Big Ten Football (@B1Gfootball) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/B1Gfootball\/status\/2109056692981813592?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Oregon fell 17-15 to UCLA after being stopped on a late two-point try.

Oregon should\u2019ve taken the snap one yard closer to the goal line. The extra three feet proved costly.<\/p>\n<p>The Ducks were unable to find the endzone and tie the game.

UNC improved to 3-2 with a comeback effort against the Panthers.<\/p>\n<p>The Tar Heels were down 10-0 in the first half. They scored 21 of the game\u2019s last 28 points to win. Their head coach was as giddy as we\u2019ve seen him since arriving to Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n<p>He first broke a sly smile in the postgame interview before closing with his patented, \u201cOn to [insert next opponent],\u201d phrase. Belichick loosened up even more in the ensuing locker room celebration. He seems to be enjoying Year 2 in North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p>USC band gets revenge on Penn State.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Bringing some color to the White Out.<\/p>\n<p>#BeatTheLions https:\/\/t.co\/6XI1gL5kRa<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 USC Trojan Marching Band (@USCTMB) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USCTMB\/status\/2109057587836760158?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 10, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>USC was stuck in a Penn State whiteout at Beaver Stadium on Saturday night. <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/usc-band-nosebleeds-celebration-penn-state\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">The band was given the worst seat in the house.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Spirit of Troy marching band was tucked in a faraway corner of the upper deck. The Nittany Lions tried to mute band members. They refused to be quiet.<\/p>\n<p>After picking up a 31-23 win, the band moved to the concourse to celebrate with the team. It forced Penn State fans to listen as they exited the venue. The band got revenge after being banished.

They did so by erasing a 10-point second half deficit.<\/p>\n<p>The Sooners trailed 17-7 at halftime. They outscored the Longhorns 20-7 after the break. That included 17 fourth quarter points.<\/p>\n<p>Arch Manning threw a brutal pick in a tie game on his final drive. Oklahoma responded by kicking a game-winning field goal. After seeing it sail through the uprights, the sideline emptied. <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/parker-livingstone-celebrate-texas-students-win-oklahoma\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">OU players beelined for the Texas students\u2019 section.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Parker Livingstone, who played for Texas last year, was one of them.

His former schools faced off Saturday in Gainesville. The head ball coach was honored before kickoff.<\/p>\n<p>He then watched the Gators get embarrassed by the Gamecocks in The Swamp. South Carolina won 38-19. Fans that made the trip chomped all the way home.<\/p>\n<p>For South Carolina, it was a much-needed win after three straight SEC losses. It was also the program\u2019s first win in Gainesville without Spurrier on the sidelines.

The Wildcats beat South Carolina last week on a two-point conversion in overtime. They did the same to the Tigers on Saturday in Lexington.<\/p>\n<p>Both games resulted in 35-34 Kentucky wins.

During the fourth quarter, <a href=\"https:\/\/brobible.com\/sports\/article\/pat-fitzgerald-apologizes-middle-finger-poor-officiating\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">he flipped a middle finger in the direction of referees after a bad call<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Trailing by seven, the Spartans successfully recovered an onside kick with eight minutes left to play.
