In a week intended to be quiet and noneventful, there were a few upsets within the college football world in week 12, including two within the SEC.
The path to the College Football Playoff appeared to be smooth for the No. 5 Tennessee Volunteers, all they needed to do was win their final two games against South Carolina and Vanderbilt.
However, their path hit a detour as South Carolina dominated the game, defeating the Vols, 63-38 in Columbia on Saturday night.
South Carolina’s Spencer Rattler completed 30-of-37 passes for a season-best 438 yards and six touchdowns. The game resulted in his season-high PFF grade of 93.1.
On the other side, Tennessee, unfortunately, lost its’ quarterback, Hendon Hooker, to an ACL injury in the loss.
Ole Miss looked to bounce back after suffering an exhausting loss to Alabama in week 11 by embarking on a journey to Fayetteville, Arkansas to battle the Razorbacks. The Rebels were hit in the mouth early, as they trailed 35-6 heading into halftime, and ultimately fell 42-27.
K.J. Jefferson led the Razorbacks to a win by throwing three touchdown passes and 168 yards.
