College Football Playoff Showdown: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the Nation in Week 13?

College Football Playoff Showdown: Which Teams Are Poised to Shock the Nation in Week 13?

The remaining matchups for Utah (Kansas State, Kansas) and Miami (Virginia Tech, Pitt) suggest that both will finish 10-2. But, they’re both poised to get boxed out of their conference championship games and lack a chance at another big win.

These teams wouldn’t jump anyone ahead of them that wins out, and they’d have to worry about a 10-2 SEC or Big Ten team cutting the line. The likeliest case? The Utes and Canes get close but don’t get a cigar. 

Texas, at No. 17, is harder to figure out. No other three-loss team has a serious chance at the playoff, but Texas finishing 9-3 would mean ending the year with a win against undefeated Texas A&M. In that case, the committee would see Texas as a team that has arguably the best win of any team in the country, has three top-25 wins and would’ve been 10-2 if it decided to open its season against the Ohio Bobcats instead of Ohio State.
