Week 12 saw three top-ten teams in the College Football Playoff rankings lose: Oregon, Michigan State and Wake Forest.
All three were blown out. Oregon to Utah, Michigan State to Ohio State and Wake Forest was blown out by Clemson.
In Tuscaloosa, No. 2 Alabama survived a scare in a 42-35 win over Arkansas. Georgia took care of business against Charleston Southern of the FCS. And it looks like Cincinnati should find itself in the top-four now thanks to Oregon’s loss.
The big question this week is whether or not Ohio State will jump Alabama and overtake that No. 2 spot? The Buckeyes dominated the #7 team in the nation while Bama struggled against #21. If it were me, I’d have the Buckeyes at No. 2 (I would have had them at No. 2 the whole time), but I’m not so sure the committee will move Alabama down. Here’s how we project this week’s College Football Playoff rankings to look after Week 12.
