November 26, 2016Campus Insiders’ 1-128 college football rankings heading into Week 13 of the season. After the third weekend in November, this is how all 128 FBS teams grade out.
While we didn’t experience College Football Playoff #chaos this past week, the action on the field certainly did not disappoint.
Starting with Houston’s throttling of Louisville on Thursday night and culminating with USC’s win over UCLA at the Rose Bowl, contenders continued to get separated from pretenders. But which four teams will ultimately comprise the third College Football Playoff?
Once again this week I am projecting an Alabama-Washington Peach Bowl and a Michigan-Clemson Fiesta Bowl. But there are still plenty of teams alive for a CFP bid.
Where does your favorite team check in as we head into Thanksgiving week?
