It's Week 6, and it might be the best Saturday of the season yet. There was a complete scoring frenzy in the Red River Rivalry, Ole Miss barely edged out Arkansas 52-51 in another high-scoring affair, and Penn State's loss to Iowa has paved the way forCincinnatito sneak into the top four.

Hard to believe anything could rival the slate of games Saturday afternoon, but then came the night kickoffs. Alabama-Texas A&M, Michigan-Nebraska and Notre Dame-Virginia Tech all came down to the wire, with A&M, Michigan and Notre Dame all making late field goals to win.

Check out all the results, reaction and revelry from throughout the land.

Touchdowns of the day

There are no words to describe this touchdown.

Look at this precision!

We'll be watching this on repeat for the rest of the evening. But this is very clearly not the outcome you want when you leap over someone trying to get into the end zone.

No small feat

If Texas A&M kicker Seth Small felt any pressure on the game-winning field goal attempt against Alabama, he sure didn't show it.

It's all fun and games

Just click the the link. You will not regret it.

This trolling is just too good.

Bottom 10 Battle of the Year

We were dialed in on UMass-UConn all week long.

UMass did end up the eventual victor. And, well, a win is a win. Celebrate however you please.

It was truly a special four quarters of football.

The Minutemen celebrated as if they had won the natty, and we approve.

Now that's a rush

OK, Iowa had a few more fans rushing the field after the Hawkeyes' win over Penn State than UMass did after its first win.

High hurdler

Michigan running backHassan Haskins took to the air to avert a Nebraska defender en route to a 50-yard gain.

Comeback complete

Notre Dame scored 11 points in the final 2:26, topped by Jonathan Doerer's field goal with 17 seconds left, in the Fighting Irish's 32-29 win at Virginia Tech.

Scene in the stands & sidelines

A new take on the cheesehead? The cornhead, because corn really is life in Nebraska.

Name a more iconic duo.

Where can we buy one of these?

There seems to be a new way to call a play every single day.

Rivalry beef (or pork, we suppose)

We've been waiting all season long for this. The first East/West BBQ Bowl between Gardner-Webb and Campbell. And with a trophy like this on the line that features a hog, how could you not give it your all.

So yeah, let's get things going already! And maybe this video is a sign of things to come?

And Gardner-Webb has been focused all week long, even preparing with an eating contest.

Let's check in on the mascots ... and stray animals?

Can someone explain this to us?

Apparently a fox somehow got into the Cotton Bowl. But, hey, maybe it just wanted to get real close to the action.

GameDay antics

Yes, it really has been a long time.

Look who showed up

Both governors are in attendance for the OU-Texas game.

As is good ol' Mark Cuban.

More must-see

Boise State upset BYU on the road and this catch was basically the cherry on top.

*Googles "How does someone stop Mailk Willis?"*

Auburn scored a touchdown! And, yes, there is reason to be wowed by this, because it's the first touchdown Georgia has allowed since Sept. 18.

Caleb Williams led OU to a miraculous comeback victory vs. Texas, and, well, the QB situation in Norman doesn't look too great for Spencer Rattler, and he seems to know it with this reaction.

We are losing count of the number of great TDs we have seen today.

Is there a cooler touchdown than this? Dapping up your teammate en route to a TD?

Give us all the views you got.

Bijan Robinson is really just built different.

And he has the approval of none other than Reggie Bush.

Moments like these are what making college football what it is.

Now, who wouldn't want to see their name laid out across an entire field? Tennessee paid tribute to one of its iconic players.

Oooh! You gotta see the change of direction for this TD.

Now this is what we call, "perfect execution."

Matt Corral let this one air out.

Ohio State looks like it's leaving it all on the field today with this early TD.
