It's Monday, December 4th, and we're diving into the latest weekend highlights to kickstart your week. From the NFL's star-studded matchups to the College Football Playoff shakeup and LeBron James' post-ejection plans, here's everything you need to know.

1. NFL Drama in Green Bay

Despite Taylor Swift's presence as a good luck charm, the Kansas City Chiefs (NFL - National Football League) faced a tough loss against the Packers. Simone Biles, who was in attendance to cheer for her husband Jonathan Owens’ Packers, the game marked Patrick Mahomes' debut at Lambeau Field. Fans express frustration over missed calls, especially pass interference, leading to a 27-19 Packers win, bringing the Chiefs' season to 8-4.

2. College Football Playoff Chaos

Alabama's upset victory over the undefeated Georgia Bulldogs stirred chaos in the College Football Playoff race. The ripple effect earned Alabama, Texas, Michigan and the University of Washington spots in the semifinals on January 1st.

Football fans feel for Florida State after this selection because the Seminoles are undefeated but left out of the CFP. The claim is that an injury to their quarterback is the reason (even though they’ve won without him).

Here's the full bowl game season schedule starting December 16th.
