Here’s what the College Football Playoff bracket would look like based on rankings after Week 13
Published:
The 4th set of College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday night, with Selection Sunday now less than 2 weeks away.
Not much changed with the latest Playoff rankings reveal, and the top 4 teams who will get first-round byes remained the same from last week. Ohio State still leads the way as the No. 1 seed, followed by Big Ten rival Indiana at No. 2, Texas A&M at No. 3 and Georgia at No. 4. Ohio State rolled past Rutgers last Saturday and stayed locked in at No. 1, while Indiana had the week off, and SEC rivals Texas A&M and Georgia cruised to victories over Samford and Charlotte, respectively.
As far as the first-round Playoff matchups that will take place on the campus of the higher seed, No. 5 seed Texas Tech would host No. 12 Tulane, an SEC lover’s dream matchup would play out in Oxford between No. 7 Ole Miss and No. 10 Alabama, No. 6 seed Oregon would host No. 11 Miami and No. 8 Oklahoma would take on No. 9 Notre Dame in a matchup of college football blue bloods in Norman.
All told, the projected bracket features 5 SEC teams, 3 Big Ten teams, and 1 each from the Big 12, ACC and the American, plus Notre Dame. Here’s a look at how it shakes out in visual form:
