Predicting the Week 13 College Football Playoff rankings
We already know one rivalry is all but assured to be a top 5 matchup, but there could be another that’s a top 10 matchup, with another potentially ranked-on-ranked game between two hated adversaries.
Michigan football vs. Ohio State is quite likely to be a battle between two teams in the top 5, while Bedlam (Oklahoma vs. Oklahoma State — another game between 10-1 teams) should be between top 10 teams. If Mississippi State sneaks back into the rankings, the Egg Bowl could be another on between ranked teams.
We’ll know for sure when the College Football Playoff rankings come out on Tuesday evening, but here is our best guess as to where each team will be ranked this week.
