Top 25 Roundup | Auburn snaps Gators' streak

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — On a day filled with upsets, Auburn turned in one of the biggest.

Freshman Wes Byrum kicked a 43-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Tigers to a 20-17 victory over fourth-ranked Florida on Saturday night.

The loss snapped an 11-game winning streak for the defending national champions and gave the Gators their first home loss under coach Urban Meyer. They had won 18 in a row there, 17 since Meyer took over in 2005.

Florida (4-1, 2-1 Southeastern Conference) could take a big step back next week at No. 2 LSU. If the Gators perform like they did Saturday, they could be in for a long day.
