The College Football Playoff picture tightens this weekend as Georgia, Indiana, LSU and Texas all play games with direct ranking consequences.

Georgia's Kirby Smart brings the Bulldogs home ranked No. 1 after a commanding Week 10 win over Ole Miss, and Missouri visits Athens as the first real test of that standing.

Indiana has no margin for error against USC, having slipped a few spots in the CFP rankings during its bye week, while Lane Kiffin's Tigers host Texas in Baton Rouge trying to stop a slide that began with a loss to Alabama.

The primetime spotlight belongs to the SEC, with LSU hosting Texas to close the day and a win likely vaulting the winner into serious playoff conversation.
