How about that for a shakeup Saturday? On the same weekend we saw Tennessee, Clemson, and Alabama all lose. That's got Playoff implications and it's got bowl projection implications too, as the division and therefore the conference title races start to come into focus. We enter into the home stretch of the regular season with a whole lot to play for.
