College Football Playoff Rankings 2022: Projected Top 25 for Week 12

Week 11 is in the books and boy will the College Football Playoff rankings look a lot different next week as a number of top teams fell.

We saw the top four all take care of business, however. Actually, the top five all won their games as Georgia handled Mississippi State, Ohio State toppled Indiana, Michigan ran away from Nebraska, TCU went on the road to beat Texas, and Tennessee dismantled Missouri.

A top-six team did lose on Saturday, however, and it was a shocking result. Oregon hosted Washington for the annual rivalry game and the Huskies picked up the major upset. No one saw that happening, but a back-and-forth affair went in Washington’s favor, 37-34.

Other ranked teams lost as well and teams like Ole Miss, UCLA, and NC State all saw playoff hopes crushed. The Wolfpack didn’t really have serious hopes, but losing to Boston College could eliminate them from New Year’s Six contention as well. Ole Miss’ loss to Alabama all but eliminates them from the playoff conversation and the same goes for UCLA losing to Arizona.

The College Football Playoff rankings will see quite the shakeup this week, and here’s what I think they’ll look like on Tuesday.
