In Short: Week 7 also featured late-game officiating drama and a historic third college football game at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.
Bear Golesh, son of Auburn's first-year coach Alex Golesh, got his wish to celebrate on the field after Saturday's game against No. 1 Georgia.
In a stunning upset, Auburn defeated Georgia 27-24 with a last-second 34-yard field goal by kicker Alex McPherson.
Golesh, who asked his dad if he could get on the field if Auburn won, joined his father on the Sanford Stadium turf after the Tigers' victory.
Georgia, previously unbeaten in 53 consecutive games against unranked opponents, saw its streak end with the loss.
Golesh expressed gratitude for his coaches and fan base, emphasizing the team's commitment to building Auburn's program one game at a time.
The upset was part of a historic day in college football, with eight ranked teams losing in Week 7, marking a significant shake-up in the playoff picture.

Other notable games included No. 4 Ohio State's victory over No. 5 Indiana, and Texas's home loss to Florida, prompting head coach Steve Sarkisian to evaluate his play calling.
Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit called the Lions-Bills game on Prime Video, marking the start of Thursday Night Football coverage for the platform.
