Cal (7-5, 4-4) responded immediately, though, as quarterback Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele marched the Bears 75 yards in seven plays, capped by Raphael's 12th rushing touchdown of the season. SMU had a chance to tie the game with eight seconds left, but Sam Keltner's 52-yard field-goal attempt sailed wide right. "We really wanted to go back and compete for a championship again, but we're not going to," coach Rhett Lashlee said. "We expected to win today, and we didn't." The Bears were playing their first game under interim coach Nick Rolovich, who was appointed after Justin Wilcox was fired last Sunday. Sagapolutele completed 31 of his 40 pass attempts for 330 yards and threw four touchdowns, finishing with a 179.9 passer rating. Raphael rushed 33 times for…...

The Crimson Tide (10-2, 7-1) beat Georgia 24-21 on the road in the regular season. Alabama was on the ropes again at Jordan-Hare Stadium. After leading 17-0 early in the second quarter, it was tied down the stretch. But Simpson found Horton in traffic on a fourth-and-2 play from the Auburn 6 with 3:50 remaining.
