The Georgia Bulldogs got a big win on the road against Auburn on Saturday, and were rewarded for their efforts with a jump in the polls for the College Football Playoff on Sunday.

Georgia, which found itself ranked 5th heading into the weekend behind Alabama, took advantage of a convincing win over the 12th-ranked Tigers at Jordan-Hare Stadium in order to move forward into the playoff spots in the poll.

In the College Football Playoff System, implemented for the 2015 season, the top four teams qualify for a playoff to decide the season’s champion.

Alabama found itself punished despite a comfortable 38-7 road win over Mississippi State, dropping from 5th to 4th and provisionally out of the playoffs.

This wasn’t the only bad news of the weekend for the Crimson Tide, however. Star quarterback Tua Tagovaiola suffered a season-ending hip injury in his team’s Saturday win, meaning that the Tide will have to turn to backup quarterback Mac Jones for the rest of the year.

Many have guessed that Tagovaiola’s injury influenced Alabama’s drop in the rankings heading into the penultimate weekend of the regular season.

Georgia will host #24 Texas A&M on Saturday, while Alabama will take on Western Carolina at home.

LSU’s big win over Alabama on Saturday left no doubt: as of now, the Tigers are the clear top dog in college football heading into Week 12.

LSU knocked Ohio State off of the top of the rankings after a college football’s game of the season on Saturday when went on the road to Tuscaloosa and defeated the #3 and previously-unbeaten Crimson Tide by a 46-41 final score.

The Tigers received 54 of the 61 total first place votes in the AP Poll.

The Buckeyes, who slaughtered the hapless Maryland Terrapins by a 73-14 final, fell to #2 as a consequence of LSU’s landscape-altering victory.

The final two spots in the top 4, which are theoretically the teams that will qualify for this season’s College Football Playoff, are occupied by Clemson and Alabama.

Lurking close behind are Georgia, Oregon, and the surprisingly undefeated Minnesota Golden Gophers. The race for the playoffs is wide open at this point, and it seems certain that at least one one-loss team will have an opportunity to play for the National Championship.

Three weeks remain in the college football regular season, and there are sure to be more than a few surprises left to shock us.
