Nov. 16, 2019 will from this point forward be known as Separation Saturday. Minnesota and Baylor took their first losses, Georgia survived a trip to Auburn to stay in the playoff hunt and Alabama, despite a horrible injury to its starting quarterback, is still in this thing.
Iowa’s Kinnick Stadium proved too much for the Gophers, and Oklahoma became the first team since at least 1937 to overcome a 21-point halftime deficit against a team that entered the game 9–0 or better, beating Baylor 34–31. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs survived a scare from Auburn, winning 21–14, and Bama QB Tua Tagovailoa’s season is done after dislocating his hip while the Tide moved to 9–1.
