Top 25: No. 4 Auburn beats No. 7 Mississippi on overturned call

Cassanova McKinzy recovered a fumble in the end zone to preserve No. 4 Auburn’s 35-31 victory over No. 7 Mississippi on Saturday night in Oxford, Mississippi. The Tigers (7-1, 4-1 Southeastern Conference) got a reprieve after Rebels receiver Laquon Treadwell lost the ball at the end of a tackle-breaking catch-and-run to the end zone with 1:30 left. It was ruled a touchdown, but the replay official determined that he lost the ball before crossing the goal line.
