It is the second straight week the AP Top 25's No. 1 team has lost to an unranked opponent, after Texas fell to Oklahoma the week before.\n\nQuarterback Byrum Brown powered Auburn's ground game, which controlled the line of scrimmage for much of the afternoon. Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton, who threw two interceptions on the day, had led the Bulldogs on a long touchdown drive in the fourth quarter to tie the game. But with Georgia driving again and looking for a go-ahead field goal, Stockton fumbled on a run from the Auburn 46 with 58 seconds remaining. Safety Sylvester Smith-Reed recovered for the Tigers at the Auburn 44.\n\nA roughing-the-passer penalty on Georgia's Gabe Harris Jr. then helped Auburn move into position for McPherson's winning kick. The win snapped Georgia's nine-game streak in the rivalry and marked Auburn's first victory in Athens since 2005.","published_at":"2026-10-18T05:50:08.332287+00:00","source_count":4,"written_from":[{"outlet":"Fox Sports","publisher":"Fox Sports","title":"Another No. 1 Falls: Auburn Stuns Georgia After Walk Off Field Goal","url":"https://www.foxsports.com/stories/college-football/alex-mcpherson-kicks-34-yard-field-goal-time-expires-lift-auburn-over-no-1-georgia-27-24"},{"outlet":"New York Post","publisher":"New York Post","title":"Auburn stuns No. 1 Georgia with game-winning field goal on final play","url":"https://nypost.com/2026/10/17/sports/auburn-stuns-no-1-georgia-with-game-winning-field-goal-on-final-play/"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Grading Auburn football's upset of top-ranked Georgia: Full report card","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/grading-auburn-footballs-upset-top-233835618.html"},{"outlet":"ESPN","publisher":"ESPN","title":"Auburn stuns No. 1 Georgia after Stockton's fumble dooms Bulldogs","url":"https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/50205292/auburn-stuns-georgia-stockton-fumble-dooms-bulldogs"}],"more_coverage":[{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Auburn football vs Georgia score predictions, what to watch for in Week 7","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/auburn-football-vs-georgia-score-195137625.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"CFB 27 Sim predicts result of Auburn-Georgia game","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/cfb-27-sim-predicts-result-164717949.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Live stream Georgia vs Auburn for free: Watch College Football, NCAA, TV channel","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/live-stream-georgia-vs-auburn-172500875.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Auburn ends losing streak to No. 1 Georgia with field goal on final play","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/auburn-ends-losing-streak-no-230544839.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Auburn vs. Georgia recap, results: Top-ranked Bulldogs lose on late fumble, roughing the passer penalty","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/auburn-vs-georgia-recap-results-230629790.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Georgia drops stunner to Auburn: Bulldogs 'started smelling themselves way too much'","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/georgia-drops-stunner-auburn-bulldogs-230203174.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Auburn 27, Georgia 24: Bulldogs stuff a season’s worth of dumb into three quarters, get predictable result","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/auburn-27-georgia-24-bulldogs-002004705.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"The best social media reactions to Auburn football's upset win over Georgia","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/best-social-media-reactions-auburn-003100089.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"No. 1 Georgia getting upset by Auburn has fans going berserk","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/no-1-georgia-getting-upset-002803786.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Auburn stuns Georgia, gets sixth win over a No. 1-ranked team in school history","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/auburn-stuns-georgia-gets-sixth-005044704.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Trio of turnovers haunts No. 1 Georgia in upset loss vs. Auburn","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/trio-turnovers-haunts-no-1-020221199.html"},{"outlet":"Yahoo Sports","publisher":"Yahoo Sports","title":"Georgia’s Last-Second Loss Sends Shockwaves Across the SEC","url":"https://sports.yahoo.com/articles/georgia-last-second-loss-sends-030523617.html"}],"image":null,"embed":null,"license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/","attribution":"Analysis data is licensed CC BY 4.0.
