College football rankings: Georgia jumps Ohio State in BCS poll for Week 12
It appears to be a unanimous vote now among all the various college football rankings, after the CFP selection committee bumped the Bulldogs up to the top spot in their latest poll, coming in line with AP voters and the Coaches, as well.
- Georgia took down Ole Miss in dominating fashion, winning two straight against ranked teams after beating Missouri the week before
- Michigan, Ohio State stay undefeated as The Game fast approaches
- Oregon, Washington appear on collision course for Pac-12 title game rematch
- Alabama clinched the SEC West, will face Georgia for the conference title
Where does that leave things in the BCS college football rankings this week? Thanks to the folks at BCSKnowHow.com, we have a look at what that poll would look like as we move into Week 12 action.
BCS top 25 college football rankings
25. Arizona. Winners of four straight, including against three other ranked teams and the Wildcats are 7-3 on the year.
24. Kansas State. In a four-way tie in the Big 12 at 5-2 in conference play.
23. Iowa. The leader in the Big Ten West at 8-2 after shutting out Rutgers.
22. Liberty. Still in first place in the Conference USA standings at 10-0.
21. North Carolina. In the mix for the ACC title game but will close in two road games.
20. Tennessee. Falling down the rankings after a 36-7 loss to Missouri on the road.
19. Tulane. Still the class of the AAC and likely the Group of Five's New Year's bowl team.
18. Notre Dame. Off last week, the Irish are 7-3 and host Wake before going to Stanford.
17. Utah. A close loss at Washington drops the Utes to 4-3 in Pac-12 play and they go to Arizona this week.
16. James Madison. Top 25 in scoring offense and defense and 10-0 but ineligible for the postseason.
15. LSU. Jayden Daniels moved further into Heisman contention after a big win against Florida.
14. Oklahoma. The Sooners recovered from a costly two-game losing streak by pounding West Virginia, but their playoff hopes are dashed.
13. Oregon State. Just 6 combined points keep the Beavers from being undefeated and now they close against the class of the Pac-12: vs. Washington, and at Oregon.
12. Missouri. Now second in the SEC East after inching up the rankings following a statement win against Tennessee.
11. Ole Miss. Outside the top 10 this week after taking a bad loss at Georgia in which the Rebels' defense allowed 52 points.
10. Penn State. Still in the top 10 despite a loss to Michigan at home and after the Nittany Lions sacked their offensive coordinator.
9. Louisville. The 9-1 Cardinals are inching closer to the ACC Championship Game but games at Miami and against Kentucky are not sure things.
8. Texas. The win against Alabama is huge in the committee's view and at one loss the Longhorns have a path to the playoff if they win the Big 12.
7. Oregon. Beating the Trojans isn't that hard right now, but the Ducks can change the narrative if they make the Pac-12 title game.
6. Alabama. Clinched the SEC West by smashing Kentucky and suddenly the Tide is back in the playoff chase in November.
5. Florida State. Down a spot and out of the top four of these rankings after two close wins, but the Seminoles have already booked a spot in the ACC title bout.
4. Washington. The win against ranked Utah and that tough defense was enough for the BCS computers to bump the Huskies up a spot.
3. Ohio State. College football's second-best scoring defense came through in a big win against Michigan State.
2. Michigan. Whether or not Jim Harbaugh is on the sideline, the Wolverines are the apparent favorites to make it a three-peat in the Big Ten title race.
1. Georgia. Back in pole position after taking down Ole Miss, the defending champs are now the No. 1 team in college football in all major rankings.
