* No. 22 Auburn 9, Arkansas 7: Wes Byrum kicked his second game-winning field goal in three weeks, this one from 20 yards, with 21 seconds remaining at Fayetteville, Ark. Byrum, a freshman, kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired two weekends ago for a 20-17 victory over Florida. This kick was much easier, but no less crucial. The Tigers (5-2, 3-1) are now tied for first in the SEC West with Alabama and Louisiana State. Auburn is at LSU next Saturday. The Tigers held Darren McFadden to 43 rushing yards, the first time all season he has been under 100. Arkansas (3-3, 0-3) took a 7-6 lead with 1:36 remaining on Casey Dick’s 13-yard touchdown pass to Lucas Miller.

* No. 25 Tennessee 33, Mississippi State 21: The Volunteers (4-2, 2-1) won at Starkville, Miss., behind Erik Ainge’s 259 passing yards and two touchdown passes. The Bulldogs (4-3, 1-3) could not hold on to a 14-7 lead. Lucas Taylor had career highs of 11 catches for 186 yards for Tennessee, which has won three in a row and four of its last five. Anthony Dixon rushed for 108 yards and a touchdown for Mississippi State.

* Alabama 27, at Mississippi 24: John Parker Wilson passed for 265 yards and the Crimson Tide (5-2, 3-1) scored 10 points in the final eight minutes at Oxford, Miss. Quarterback Seth Adams completed a 41-yard pass to Shay Hodge to give the Rebels (2-5, 0-4) possession at the Alabama four with seven seconds left, but after a five-minute review, it was ruled Hodge stepped out of bounds and returned to the field to make the catch, nullifying the play and turning the ball over on downs to Alabama.

* Georgia 20, Vanderbilt 17: Brandon Coutu kicked a 37-yard field goal as time expired to give the Bulldogs (5-2, 3-2) the victory at Nashville, Tenn. Georgia players danced on the Vanderbilt (3-3, 1-3) star at midfield after Coutu’s kick sailed through the uprights.
