Ryan Day’s decisions may haunt him after No. 3 Michigan beats No. 2 Ohio State for 3rd straight year

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Ryan Day’s decisions in The Game may haunt him. Again. No. 3 Michigan beat No. 2 Ohio State 30-24 Saturday, making the most of aggressive calls by fill-in coach Sherrone Moore and taking advantage of Day’s approach that seemed conservative at times. The Buckeyes will have until next Sunday to find out if they’ll be fortunate enough to earn a spot in the College Football Playoff as they were last year after losing to Michigan. Day defended his decisions after the game, but he can’t ignore his 1-3 record against Michigan after his predecessors owned the Wolverines.

Milroe’s TD pass to Bond on fourth-and-31 rescues No. 8 Alabama in 27-24 win over Auburn

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Jalen Milroe and Isaiah Bond rescued No. 8 Alabama’s playoff hopes, connecting for a last-minute touchdown on fourth-and-goal from the 31 to beat Auburn 27-24. Bond caught Milroe’s desperation heave in the left corner of the end zone with 32 seconds left to give the Crimson Tide a 10th straight win in the latest dramatic Iron Bowl at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Alabama gets to face No. 1 Georgia in the Southeastern Conference championship game with its playoff hopes intact. Auburn was a 12 1/2-point underdog but nearly pulled off the upset in coach Hugh Freeze’s first Iron Bowl.
