Much like we saw from Indiana earlier on Saturday in Happy Valley, No. 9 Oregon escaped a near disaster on the road in Iowa City with a late scoring drive to get an 18-16 win over the feisty Hawkeyes and remain in the College Football Playoff picture.

The Aggies are tied with Alabama atop the SEC at 5-0 and could still take another step toward earning a spot in the SEC title game with a win Saturday. The task could be easier than it looked against Missouri with true freshman QB Matt Zollers making his first career start for the Tigers.

Marcel Reed throws for 221 yards and two touchdowns as No. 3 Texas A&M defeats No. 19 Missouri 38-17. The Aggies remain undefeated, improving to 9-0.

In the afternoon window, No. 20 Iowa took a late lead on No. 9 Oregon before QB Dante Moore and the Ducks delivered a game-winning drive in the final seconds. No. 3 Texas A&M's ranked matchup with No. 22 Missouri was less exciting; the Aggies handled the Tigers in a blowout.

On the "College GameDay Podcast," hosts Rece Davis and Pete Thamel discussed the upcoming game. Davis expressed difficulty in predicting a loss for Texas A&M due to its strong performance this season.

Miami football has no margin for error entering today's game against Syracuse. After an overtime loss at SMU, the No. 18 Hurricanes have to win out and get a lot of help if they are to break into the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket.
