AP Top 25 ballots became even tougher to perfect as the dust settled on Week 3 of college football. No. 6 Georgia outlasted No. 15 Tennessee in a 44-41 overtime thriller on Saturday.

Yellow Jackets quarterback Haynes King delivered all night, completing 20 of 28 passes for 211 yards while rushing 25 times for 101 yards and a touchdown. He orchestrated the 10-play, 38-yard drive that set up Birr’s game-winner.

The Yellow Jackets took down the Tigers on a dramatic last-second field goal, a win that could have significant playoff ramifications.

Aidan Birr made a 55-yard field goal as time expired and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets upset the No. 12 Clemson Tigers 24-21.

The defeat marks Clemson's second loss of the 2025 season, dropping them to 1-2 overall and 0-1 in ACC play. Following the game, former Clemson defensive end Shaq Lawson criticized the program's current state, blaming NIL changes for a decline in player mentality.
