Kentucky’s celebration after beating Oklahoma in Norman wasn’t just about a 21-13 upset and bowl eligibility. It was also about answering some ugly bulletin board material the Wildcats say came from inside the Sooners’ own locker room setup.
According to a TikTok video shared by Mikkel Skinner, Kentucky players celebrated with a belt in hand after the win, using it on Oklahoma’s mascot in the locker room. In the same clip, linebacker Quintavion Norman held up a printed screenshot of a Snapchat from the restroom that had been shared by a Sooner. The image showed several Wildcats in the line of fire.
The caption on the Snapchat read, “This (is) what we do on (people) throughout the year,” followed by a laughing emoji.
The source of motivation was as bizarre as it was offensive: the Sooners had reportedly put pictures of Kentucky players in their urinals and peed on them during the week leading up to the matchup at the Palace on the Prairie.
The postgame scene also included other Kentucky celebrations and dances, along with some back-and-forth trash talk with Oklahoma fans. And the Wildcats didn’t waste the moment.
Will Stein’s team is now 6-1 on the year and projected to make the College Football Playoff, and the celebration made clear they’re not interested in backing down from anyone. With LSU having already posted fake Kentucky quotes in its locker room, the Wildcats have now dealt with two different forms of pregame disrespect and answered both with wins.
As for what comes next, the question hangs there for Vanderbilt. Hopefully it doesn’t involve bodily fluids-feels a little unnecessary, don’t you think?

Tennessee Just Gave Vols Fans New Ammo Against Alabama
Week 7 delivered one of those Saturdays that reshapes the conversation around the SEC, and Tennessee had plenty to do with it. The Vols backed up a strong performance from running back DeSean Bishop with a defense that made life miserable for Alabama, giving their fans a fresh reason to revisit the rivalry and point to the Crimson Tides flaws after a game that felt more like a statement than a one-off upset.
It was also part of a broader shake-up across college football, with top-ranked Georgia and Notre Dame both going down in a chaotic slate. BYU knocked off Notre Dame without its star running back, Texas slipped again in a loss to Florida under Steve Sarkisian, and Oklahoma State continued to struggle, but Tennessees win stood out for the way it was built: physical, opportunistic and hard to dismiss no matter how the rest of the season plays out.

Auburn Just Shook Up The Rankings In A Way Fans Had To See
Week 7 turned the AP Top 25 upside down in a way college football rarely sees, with five of the top eight teams losing on the same day for the first time in the polls 90-year history. Auburns win over No. 1 Georgia was the headline grabber for Bulldogs fans to absorb, but it was part of a bigger wave of chaos that also included BYU taking down No. 2 Notre Dame.
The shakeup sent Miami to No. 1 for the first time since 2002, with BYU climbing to No. 2 and Ohio State landing at No. 3. For Georgia, the bigger picture is less about one bad Saturday than the way quickly a season can change when the teams around you start tumbling too, and the rankings now reflect just how much instability is baked into the race ahead.

Georgia Is Suddenly At The Center Of An SEC Debate
The SEC conversation has gotten louder this week, and Georgia is right in the middle of it after another rough stretch for the leagues biggest names. Recent losses by top teams such as Georgia and Texas have fueled the familiar debate over whether the conference is as deep and dominant as it has been billed, while fans and observers continue to argue over how much weight to give one conferences bruising schedule.
Dan Wolken pushed back on the idea that the SEC has somehow become ordinary, arguing the league is still punishingly difficult from week to week. From Georgias perspective, that only adds to the scrutiny, because every stumble by a contender seems to become evidence in someone elses argument about the conference, and the latest round of reactions has left plenty of room for the debate to keep going.
