Let’s take a look at the College Football Playoff projections after the 13th week the 2016 season.

We are approaching the final week of the college football season and there are some teams sticking out as College Football Playoff contenders. One of the top four teams went down in Week 13, but it wasn’t via upset.

With rivalry week dominating headlines, the Michigan Wolverines and Ohio State Buckeyes were the topic of conversation. Although Alabama and Auburn also matched up for the Iron Bowl, the Crimson Tide were overwhelming favorites and performed as such.

As for the Wolverines and Buckeyes, half of the College Football Playoff’s top four was battling it out in Columbus. The game was controlled by Michigan through three-plus quarters, but Ohio State came on late and sent the game into overtime. The Buckeyes eventually won in double-overtime and the Wolverines dropped their second game in three weeks.

Michigan may have been the only team in the top 10 to lose last week, but it did shake things up in the rankings. A few teams moved up, some remained the same and the Wolverines dropped a bit. Will there be two teams from one conference in the playoff this year for the first time or will the Buckeyes be knocked out in a couple of weeks for not playing in the Big Ten title game?

After another interesting week, which teams will rank in the top 10 of the Week 14 College Football Playoff standings?
