No. 7 Georgia 36-No. 9 Florida 17The Gators (6-2, 4-2 SEC) hung around in first half, but a late surge by the Bulldogs (7-1, 5-1) gave them a big win in the SEC East showdown.
Jake Fromm threw three touchdowns while D'Andre Swift added 104 yards rushing and a score to lead the way for Georgia. Florida was held to just 275 total yards and got their touchdowns on a Feleipe Franks pass and run.
When the Bulldogs began the season, it's likely they didn't circle Nov. 3, but it will be for first place in the SEC East. The Kentucky Wildcats (7-1, 5-1) welcome Georgia for a meeting between two top 15 teams. The Gators look to regroup at home against Missouri (4-4, 0-4).
Perhaps the wildest finish of the week, Kentucky (7-1, 5-1 SEC) scored 12 in the final minutes of the game to shock Missouri (4-4, 0-4) and set up a big showdown next week.
The Tigers built a 14-3 lead on rushing touchdowns by Damarea Crockett and Larry Rountree III. It remained that way until Lynn Bowden Jr. returned a punt for the Wildcats 67 yards to bring UK within five. Kentucky would miss the two-point conversion.
On their next drive, Terry Wilson was picked off by DeMarkus Acy to keep Missouri in control. The Wildcats forced a punt and got the ball back on their own 19-yard line with 1:41 to play. Kentucky marched down the field and got down to the red zone, but Wilson's pass fell incomplete as time expired. However, a controversial pass interference call gave the Wildcats a second chance. This time Wilson found C.J. Conrad in the front corner of the end zone to win it and stay in the hunt.
Kentucky is trying for their first SEC Title since 1976 and will face their biggest test to date in No. 6 Georgia (7-1, 5-1) when the Bulldogs come to Lexington. Missouri will head to Florida (6-2, 4-2) next.

Nick Fitzgerald had threw touchdowns and ran for two more including a 76-yard scamper that put Mississippi State up 28-13 with 2:17 to play. Stephen Guidry had three catches for 130 yards and a touchdown.
Kellen Mond threw for the Aggies only touchdown, but also threw an interception inside the red zone that eventually led to the long Fitzgerald touchdown run. Texas A&M finished the day with just 61 yards rushing on 22 carries.
The Bulldogs slip out of conference to take on the Bulldogs of Louisiana Tech (6-2) while the Aggies get a well rested Auburn (5-3, 2-3) team on the road.
The Gamecocks (4-3, 3-3 SEC) got a late field goal to escape with a win at home over the Tennessee Volunteers (3-5, 1-4).
Tennessee led 14-9 going into the half and then Carlin Fils-aime pushed that lead to 21-9 with a 14-yard touchdown run. Rico Dowdle responded with a 1-yard TD run to bring South Carolina back within five. The Volunteers added a field goal, but Ty'Son Williams got a 1-yard touchdown run and Jake Bentley converted the two-point conversion to make it 24-24.
Tennessee had their drive stall at the Gamecocks 35-yard line and South Carolina went down a kicked the go ahead field goal with over five minutes on the clock. The Volunteers would get as close as midfield before their drive once again stalled to secure the win for the Gamecocks.
South Carolina heads to a well rested Ole Miss (5-3, 1-3) while Tennessee goes out of conference for a meeting with Charlotte (4-4).
Vanderbilt 45-Arkansas 31The Commodores (4-5, 1-4 SEC) got their first conference win on the year as they rolled by Arkansas (2-7, 0-5).
