Week 12 is over and there were upsets again that affect the rankings. Some movement within the poll and some new teams from 23-25.
In the Big Ten, there were lots of blowout wins, Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, & Illinois won handily. Penn St pulled away late in the 4th Quarter to beat Michigan St., USC came back from 14 down to beat Iowa, & Michigan needed a walk off FG to beat Northwestern. The Big Ten will get 3 teams in, but has a chance still at 5 if USC & Michigan win out.
In the ACC Georgia Tech needed a FG with 12 seconds left to beat BC, Virginia dominated Duke, and this gives both w/ 1 conference game to play the inside track at playing for a conference Championship. Clemson upset Louisville, Miami crushed NC State, ND whipped Pitt, Wake Forest beat UNC, and Florida St dominate Virginia Tech. The ACC could get 2 teams in the playoff if Miami wins out plus the Conference Championship Game winner.
In the Big 12, Texas Tech & BYU won big and it looks as though they will rematch in the Big 12 Conference Championship Game. Utah destroyed Baylor, Arizona upset Cincinnati and might have knocked the Bearcats out of the Conference Championship game. Kansas St & Arizona St both survived their games. The Big 12 still has a shot at 2 teams getting into the Playoff.
In the SEC Texas A&M came back from down 27 at halftime to beat South Carolina by a point. Oklahoma rolled into Alabama & pulled off the upset. Georgia dominated the 4th Quarter to beat Texas by 25, Ole Miss survived a game Florida team, Missouri whipped Mississippi St., LSU defeated Arkansas by a point, Tennessee & Kentucky both won big against inferior competition out of conference. The SEC still has a real shot at getting 5 teams in the Playoff
In the group of 5 James Madison & North Texas win big, Tulane beat FAU, East Carolina upset Memphis, and Navy upset USF, probably ending their hopes for the Playoff. If JMU wins out, they should be the G5 representative in the playoff.
Notre Dame whipped Pitt and will be in the playoff if they win out.
