College Football Playoff Rankings: 5 Teams Still Alive after Week 13 Release

The Week 13 College Football Playoff Rankings have been released, and we’re down to only the elite still having a shot at playoff glory.

As we’ve seen throughout 2016, the College Football Playoff has been impossible to predict. That hasn’t changed with only one week remaining, as it is now rivalry week and just as unpredictable as ever.

We do know a few things, though, as the picture begins to clear. We know that Alabama is likely in, even if it loses to Auburn. It’d make the SEC Championship a bit more interesting, but Alabama may even make it on a two-game losing streak.

I wish I were kidding, but there’s only four one-loss teams remaining. Since Ohio State and

Michigan still have to play, that’d leave only three one-loss teams. Starting to get the picture of chaos?

So I’m here to make things easier for us all. Or not, as things could change drastically over the next few days. But what we want to take a look at is the teams that are still alive after week 13.

We’ll exclude Alabama, Ohio State/Michigan and Clemson. Each of those teams controls its own destiny and doesn’t need help getting into the College Football Playoff. Instead, we’re going to look at 5 teams that are still alive and need a little help.
