Throughout Saturday’s slate, Sports Illustrated will give an updated look at the playoff seeding and matchups.

The balance of power seems to sway like an LSU fan after a 12-hour tailgate, as teams' fortunes rise and wane, sometimes from quarter to quarter, and Week 12's action was the perfect showcase for this heart-pounding reality.
