### Bulldogs Triumph in Eight-Overtime Thriller; Big Wins and Losses Mark College Football's Final Regular Season Weekend
As the college football regular season races to a close, the final weekend has delivered a rollercoaster of unexpected results and thrilling finishes. Among the standout games, the Georgia Bulldogs secured a dramatic 44-42 victory over Georgia Tech in an extraordinary eight-overtime battle.
Despite not performing at their best, the Bulldogs managed to clinch a win that could provide a crucial buffer ahead of their impending SEC title game. Georgia, now 10-2, had a rocky start, trailing two touchdowns after Georgia Tech's quarterback Haynes King rushed for a score with just over five minutes remaining. However, a critical forced fumble by Dan Jackson gave the Bulldogs the opportunity they needed, eventually resulting in Nate Frazier's decisive run.
On another front, the Boise State Broncos showcased their prowess, particularly thanks to their standout running back. The Broncos dispatched Oregon State 34-18, with their workhorse back amassing 226 yards and a touchdown on 37 carries, thereby setting the Mountain West single-season rushing record at 2,288 yards. His performance kept Boise State's playoff ambitions alive, as they prepare to host the conference title game next Friday.
Meanwhile, Colorado's two-way star shone brightly in a 52-0 rout of Oklahoma State, tallying up impressive stats both offensively and defensively. With 10 catches, 116 yards, and three touchdowns, alongside an interception and two pass breakups, his season stats have turned heads nationwide and made him a strong Heisman candidate.
However, it was a season to forget for Oklahoma State. Their 52-0 loss to Colorado marked a grim end, with the Cowboys finishing 3-9 overall and winless in Big 12 conference play. Despite having a Heisman-caliber running back in Ollie Gordon II, who managed 880 yards and 13 touchdowns, Oklahoma State's defensive woes overshadowed any offensive achievements.
In the Mid-American Conference, both Miami (Ohio) and Ohio secured their spots in the conference title game with victories on Friday. Miami triumphed over Bowling Green, while Ohio dominated Ball State. For Miami, it marked a return to the championship game, while Ohio aims to end a drought, having last won the league in 1968.
While some teams celebrated their seasons, others faced bitter ends. Wisconsin's five-game slide concluded with a 24-7 loss to Minnesota, rounding off a disappointing season for the Badgers.
As the dust settles over this weekend's matches, the outcomes have set the stage for an exciting post-season, packed with teams looking to close out on a high and others hoping to regroup and rebuild.
