ESPN updates college football power rankings after Week 13
It was rivalry week for many teams across college football and it created a lot of instant classics.
While some were of the big game variety (Michigan football’s win over Ohio State, Oregon vs. Oregon State), many others saw surprisingly close games (Georgia vs. Georgia Tech, Alabama vs. Auburn, Washington vs. Washington State).
For the moment, Michigan football can boast that it has the best win in all of college football having beaten the Buckeyes. But who are the best of the best in the eyes of ESPN at the moment?
ESPN updated its power rankings and certainly, the week that was is bound to shake things up.
