Georgia Handles Tennessee in Top-3 Clash While Clemson & Alabama Fall

A playoff-shifting weekend in college football witnessed three major showdowns with postseason implications, and the door has been opened for a new-look CFB Playoff picture tomorrow. No. 1 Georgia put No. 3 Tennessee in their place (27-13) with a lockdown defensive performance in the SEC Game of the Year. Meanwhile, Notre Dame shocked No. 4 Clemson in South Bend (35-14) to drop the Tigers out of the top 10, and No. 15 LSU’s surged back into the top 10 with a thrilling overtime win on a two-point conversion against No. 5 Alabama (32-31, OT). Only four unbeaten playoff contenders remain — Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, and TCU — but the two Big Ten rivals will square off later this month.
