Alabama-Georgia in a game for the ages. Ole Miss falling to Kentucky with a last-second field goal miss. Utah suffering its first loss at the hands of Arizona.

With three top-10 teams going down to defeat, we've got the biggest shakeup yet in our College Football Playoff projections, with reverberations felt throughout the bowl matchups.

In the new, expanded 12-team playoff, the five highest-ranked conference champions will make the field along with the next seven highest-ranked teams. The four highest-ranked conference champions will be awarded first-round byes, with the other eight teams meeting at the campus sites of Seeds 5 through 8.
