Top 25 roundup: Auburn needs 4 OTs to stun No. 15 Texas A&M

Auburn's Payton Thorne tossed a two-point scoring pass to KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the fourth overtime to give the host Tigers a 43-41 upset of No. 15 Texas A&M on Saturday night in Southeastern Conference play. The Aggies had a chance to force another extra session, but Amari Daniels dropped Marcel Reed's pass in the end zone. The setback severely hurts the chances of Texas A&M (8-3, 5-2 SEC) being part of the 12-team College Football Playoff field. Auburn blew a 21-point lead and later forced overtime on Ian Vachon's 29-yard field goal with five seconds left in regulation. Thorne was 19-of-31 passing for 301 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for the Tigers (5-6, 2-5).
