College football never seems to disappoint and that has been true so far in 2023 as well. The regular season is now over, and with Ohio State losing to Michigan, there’s going to be a bit of a shakeup at the top that the College Football Playoff committee will have to sort out.
It’ll be very telling on whether the Buckeyes can still crash the CFP party based upon how far OSU falls in the rankings that are released on Tuesday. And while Ohio State was losing its way against Michigan, the other top contenders like Georgia, Washington, Florida State, Oregon, Texas, and Alabama all won — albeit some in dramatic fashion. You have to expect all of those teams will remain in the mix as we head into the conference championship games next weekend.
We do our best to try and sort out what the CFP committee will do after each week’s set of games and we’ve been pretty good at it so far, so why not continue those efforts.
Here’s our prediction on what the College Football Playoff rankings could look like when the committee unveils the fifth set of rankings on Tuesday with the regular season coming to a close.
Georgia Bulldogs (12-0)

vs. Alabama (SEC Championship)
Last Week’s CFP Ranking: 1
Last Result: Won at Georgia Tech, 31-23
Why the Ranking
Michigan will have a case for moving up to No. 1 over Georgia after the win vs. No. 2 Ohio State, but the Dawgs have separated themselves prior and still have a better overall body of work. Plus, we’ve mentioned ad nauseum the unintended SEC bias that will be in play.
