Which team wrecked its CFP chances in Week 13? | Before The Snap
Week 13 provided a lot of chaos for the College Football Playoff race, but a couple teams are now worse off than others. Before The Snap breaks it down.
Week 14 of college football was a rollercoaster of surprising upsets and thrilling victories, all of which will have a significant impact on the College Football Playoff. The upcoming rankings will be crucial in understanding which teams are still in contention for the national title as we head towards the conference championship weekend.
In the fourth CFP rankings, the bracket changed dramatically. Alabama and Ole Miss, who had been strong contenders throughout the season, fell out of the top 12 seeds for the first time after losing to unranked opponents. These surprising results allowed teams like Arizona State and SMU, who have shown consistent improvement, to move up in the rankings and potentially claim a seed. Meanwhile, the top four seeds—Oregon, Texas, Miami, and Boise State—remained untouched. Shifts should occur with Miami being upset by Syracuse on Saturday.
The fifth CFP rankings, set to be unveiled in just 24 hours, will ultimately reveal the team standings ahead of the CFP Selection Show next week. Here’s how to watch:
