Saturday afternoon couldn’t have gone much worse for Tennessee, but the nightcap couldn’t have gone much better. Tennessee fell to Georgia in Athens, giving up their No. 1 ranking in the process. However, things are certainly still looking good for the Volunteers in the College Football Playoff race.
No. 4 Clemson was absolutely dismantled by Notre Dame in South Bend. The Tigers were largely regarded as overrated, especially after last week’s rankings came out. Clemson checked in ahead of TCU and Michigan, despite a subpar schedule. That issue took care of itself on Saturday night.
