Alabama losing to Vanderbilt wasn't the only big upset in Week 6 of this college football season.
Arkansas stunned high ranking Tennessee and Syracuse beat UNLV in the final seconds of their late game.
Then there was that come-from-behind win by Miami against California that kept us up. Sure the Hurricanes ended up winning but they just narrowly avoided the upset.
