Georgia Tech went into Athens and shocked Georgia, and now the College Football Playoff picture is more muddled than ever.
Is the SEC title game going to be winner-in, loser-out scenario? Does that depend on whether Texas or Texas A&M wins Saturday?
Also, Ari wonders if the SEC is just mid this year.
