Week 13 Rankings

Sorry I was too busy to post last week. Here are your rankings for this week:

Your Top 25:




Rk

Team
Pts
1
0
Florida State
87.3

FSU's 80-14 trouncing of lowly Idaho is enough to keep the Seminoles at #1. 

2
+1
Ohio State
84.6

Ohio State's 28-point victory over Indiana was not their most impressive win of the season, but the Buckeyes rise to #2 on Baylor's loss.

3
+1
Alabama
80.2

Like OSU, Bama's 49-0 victory over FCS Chattanooga was a below-average performance by the Tide, but they move up one spot after Baylor lost.

4
-2
Baylor
74.3

You may have expected Baylor's loss to Oklahoma State, but certainly the magnitude (49-17) was a surprise. Baylor likely lost their shot at not only the National Championship but the Big 12 championship on Saturday.

5
0
Oregon
71.5

Oregon gets upset again, losing 42-16 to Arizona and coughing up the Pac-12 North to Stanford.

Games to watch this week:

(#3) Alabama at (#6) Auburn (3:30 PM ET, CBS) One of the best college football rivalries is even better this year as both Bama and Auburn are Top-10 caliber teams, and the winner of the Iron Bowl goes to the SEC Championship game.
Line: Alabama by 1

(#11) Clemson at (#14) South Carolina (7:00 PM ET, ESPN 2) The Battle for the Palmetto State should also be interesting. South Carolina is still in the running to win their division, and Clemson would be if they didn't have the misfortune of sharing the ACC Atlantic with Florida State. Home field advantage wins this one for the Gamecocks.
Line: South Carolina by 3

(#21) UCLA at (#17) USC (8:00 PM ET, ABC) Your third rivalry game to watch is LA's crosstown rivalry. Since Ed Orgeron took over after Lane Kiffin's firing, USC has gone 6-1, including an upset over Stanford. UCLA is 9-3 with losses to ASU, Stanford, and Oregon. Neither team can win the Pac-12 South after both lost to Arizona State, but both teams are playing for second and for pride.
Line: USC by 3.5

(#27) Arizona at (#10) Arizona State (9:30 PM ET, Pac-12 Network) This year's fight for the Territorial Cup features the Pac-12 South champion and an underrated Arizona team that upset Oregon last week.
Line: Arizona State by 12
