Week 8 of the 2024 college football season provided two marquee clashes in the SEC that will have lasting impacts on the wide-open College Football Playoff race.
While Tennessee and Georgia both took care of business to separate themselves from the pack, No. 8 LSU continued its hot streak with a 34-10 win over Arkansas on the road. The Tigers have won six consecutive games dating back to a Week 1 loss to USC in Las Vegas. Freshman running back Caden Durham continues to be a spark plug for LSU, rushing for 101 yards and three touchdowns in the win.
The Tigers racked up nearly 400 yards of total offense and cruised to victory ahead of marquee showdowns against No. 14 Texas A&M and No. 7 Alabama in the coming weeks.
No. 12 Notre Dame took care of business in Atlanta with a 31-13 win over Georgia Tech to move to 6-1. Irish quarterback Riley Leonard completed 20 of 29 attempts for 203 yards and ran 10 times for 51 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
In the late window, Iowa State survived an upset bid over UCF with a 38-35 win at home. Cyclones quarterback Rocco Becht ran for a 1-yard touchdown with 30 seconds left to seal the comeback win over the Knights. Iowa State and BYU are the only teams from the Big 12 that have yet to lose a game in conference play.
