On this episode of The College Football Survivor Show, Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah are breaking down four major games Saturday that will affect the college football playoff race.

It's Alabama-Tennessee, Penn State-Michigan, Oklahoma State-TCU and USC-Utah that will have ramifications on the playoff mix. Seven of those eight teams were among Doug and Shehan's playoff contenders entering this pod. They break down each game and make their picks, differing on several of them.

At the start of the pod, one team is kicked out of the mix. And one from the group of UCLA, TCU and Ole Miss are added to the playoff contenders. Then Doug and Shehan offer their contender rankings at the end.
