As the Week 13 action kicks off with Saturday’s games, each match holds the potential for a dramatic upset, a twist that could either propel a team’s College Football Playoff dreams or dash them. All of this unfolds in the lead-up to the fourth of the six rankings to be released, adding an extra layer of suspense to the season.
Following the latest CFP rankings, Oregon secured the No. 1 seed for the third consecutive week. The top five teams remained unchanged: Texas seeded No. 2, Miami held the No. 3 seed, Boise State at No. 4, and Ohio State rounded out the top five.
The Georgia re-entered the conversation after a significant victory over Tennessee, showcasing the unpredictable nature of college football. The Bulldogs joined two-loss teams Alabama and Ole Miss, who have defied expectations to secure a spot in the bracket. In contrast, BYU’s lone loss to Kansas in Week 12 caused them to drop significantly to the No. 12 seed in last week’s rankings. This underscores the fact that every game from now until the end of the season is crucial and a must-win situation.
