We have a lot more playoff clarity after Week 12.
No. 11 Oklahoma made the biggest splash with a shocking upset of No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa. The win keeps OU’s playoff hopes alive while inserting some chaos into the SEC title picture.

The drama began early Saturday as No. 3 Texas A&M fell behind 30-3 to South Carolina at halftime before completing a furious rally to come away with a 31-30 win at home.
Two Big Ten teams had to fight to keep their playoff hopes alive, with No. 17 USC rallying to knock off No. 21 Iowa at home and No. 18 Michigan beating unranked Northwestern on a last-second field goal.
In the late window, No. 7 Ole Miss got a scare at home against Florida before eventually eking out a win, and No. 5 Georgia throttled No. 10 Texas in a blowout in Athens.
Here’s how it all played out on Saturday.
