Predicting what the CFP rankings will look like after Week 12

There weren’t any major upsets that took place in the world of college football on Saturday, but that doesn’t mean some aren’t going to come down the road. While no chaos took place on Saturday, an injury to Florida State’s quarterback Jordan Travis means the future is unclear for the Seminoles, which could could shake things up in the future.

For now, though, I think the rankings will look pretty similar to how they did a week ago, though there might be some jumping in the top of the rankings when it comes to Washington or Alabama.

Next week is when the rankings are going to change significantly because we get a matchup between Michigan and Ohio State, and rivalry games across the nation. For now, here’s how I expect the playoff rankings to look when they are released on Tuesday:
