mjp28 Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 WEEK 12 - TOP 25 RANKINGS AND TV SCHEDULES plus the conference championships and bowl games are on the line ! https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2019-11-10/college-football-playoff-rankings-predictions-top-25-projections Week 11 is done. Now let's have fun and think about how the second College Football Playoff rankings could look. Below, I predict how the second CFP rankings might be by projecting the Top 25 for Week 12. The next College Football Playoff rankings will be announced on Tuesday, Nov. 12. The committee will continue to do so every week until the final Top 25 on Sunday, Dec. 8. You can read an overview of the committee's process here on the official site. Just a quick overview before the CFB RANKINGS are announced Tuesday. Let's just look at the previous top 10. LSU (9-0): With the Tigers winning at Alabama, LSU might get a look from the committee to jump Ohio State for No. 1. It's going to be a good debate, with strong cases on both sides. Ohio State (9-0): The Buckeyes may drop from the top spot even after the dominant win against Maryland. But that's more about LSU moving up thanks to a road win at 'Bama than anything negative about OSU. Clemson (10-0): With Wake Forest losing to Virginia Tech, the Tigers might not play another ranked team until the bowl games (or CFP semifinals). Alabama (8-1): How much will the committee drop the Tide after the close loss to LSU? Georgia (8-1): The Bulldogs hope to be the top-ranked 1-loss team after a good showing against Missouri. But Alabama could be just ahead for now. This is another big question. Oregon (8-1): The Ducks didn't play in Week 11 but are back in action on Nov. 16 against Arizona. They're another member of the 1-loss club hoping to eventually finish in the Top 4. Minnesota (9-0): Now this will be fascinating. The committee weren't high on the Gophers in the first CFP rankings. But by beating No. 4 Penn State, Minnesota should move well into the Top 10. Utah (8-1): The other top Pac-12 playoff contender was also off in Week 11. The Utes play improving UCLA in Week 12. Oklahoma (8-1): The Sooners will need to jump ahead of the other 1-loss contenders in order to have a chance to make the CFP. They've done that before and can do that again, but the defense needs work. Penn State (8-1): Now Penn State drops into the 1-loss pack. Ohio State is coming up soon. PSU will have to win out.

mjp28 Posted November 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 College Football Playoff rankings predictions: New Year's Six games This is what I think the games will be at season's end.

Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Oklahoma Rose Bowl: Utah vs. Minnesota Orange Bowl: Georgia vs. Wake Forest Cotton Bowl: Baylor vs. Cincinnati Peach Bowl (semifinal): No. 1 LSU vs. No. 4 Oregon Fiesta Bowl (semifinal): No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Clemson <---- and OSU has had some luck in the Fiesta Bowl. National Championship Game: No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Ohio State. <------ but they don't play on paper they play in the dirt. We'll see ! ......oh feel free to make your own prognostications if you want.

One under Les Miles and one under Nick Saban Yes they have won two -but- those undefeated seasons are hard to come by. Now with the playoffs chances are it you're undefeated then you're the National Championships. Wasn't always that way. I wish there were 8 playoff teams going through the bowl system......an old pet peeve of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Penn St. beat Michigan, and that may still be the bigger game for title/CFP purposes. Certainly NOT to be overlooked. FMU has been playing much better since then.

Also, while we got our three main rivals at home, we still had a pretty difficult schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted November 13, 2019 Report Share Posted November 13, 2019 Georgia is overrated. They lost to a 6 loss South Carolina team that lost to Tennessee and App. State. All the other one loss teams in the Top Ten at least lost to really good teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK/Baylor is for like the Big 12 title. Georgia/Auburn....hopefully Auburn wins. Giving Ga. a second loss. And of course Ohio State. I think that is a hell of a slate of good games.

Same with the next two weeks 13 and 14, a few good marquee matchups like the noon games PSU at OSU and the game. Now Week 15 should be interesting, looking way ahead: WEEK 15 Friday, Dec. 6 Pac-12 Championship Game (Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, CA) | 8 p.m. | ABC Saturday, Dec. 7 MAC Championship Game (Ford Field in Detroit, MI) | 12 p.m. America Athletic Conference Championship Game | 3:30 p.m. | ABC Mountain West Championship Game | 4 p.m. | ESPN Big Ten Championship Game (Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN) | 8 p.m. | FOX <---- the B1G game Big 12 Championship Game (AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX) | ABC ACC Championship Game (Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC) | ABC Conference USA Championship Game SEC Championship Game (Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, GA) Sun Belt Championship Game Saturday, Dec. 14 Army vs. Navy (Philadelphia, PA) | 3 p.m. | CBS <----- I never miss it !

mjp28 Posted November 17, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2019 Big games the next two weeks PSU at OSU -and-. "The Game" the following week. The rest of the BIG TEN pieces are falling into place. Right now there are 6 teams in the top 20 and Minnesota's undefeated season is no more.
