The final week of the regular season has arrived. After a crazy week 11, who are the winners and losers from the Week 12 AP Poll Release?
Rivalry week has now arrived and the college football season is in its final act. Some huge results shook up the playoff race and there is going to be an interesting fight for the final playoff spot.
Ohio State was the most impressive team in the country yesterday and they showed that they should be considered the same kind of caliber of a team as Georgia. The Buckeyes offense scored on their first seven drives yesterday and made Michigan State look like they did not belong in the top 25.
Ohio State now has the most important game of the season on deck against Michigan. The best rivalry in college football will take center stage on Saturday and the winner will head to the Big Ten championship game and be a front-runner for the college football playoff.
Out west, Utah ended Oregon, and the Pac-12 only hopes for a playoff spot. The Utes dominated the game and the two teams will likely see each other again in the Pac-12 championship game. Cincinnati dominated SMU and look to be strongly positioned to be the first-ever group of five team to make the playoff.
The Big 12 still has Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in the hunt and the two teams face-off next week. Notre Dame is still in the hunt after blowing out Georiga Tech. UTSA remained undefeated after a dramatic win over UAB on Saturday.
Here are the winners and losers from the Week 12 AP Poll Release.
