WEEK 13 TOP 25 RANKINGS AND TV SCHEDULE, with the end of year rivalries and conference championships to follow.

Until the CFB RANKINGS are posted here's how things might look.

College Football Playoff rankings predictions: Top 25 projections for Week 13

NOTE: This is how I think the committee could rank the teams on Tuesday, Nov. 19. Click or tap here for the actual rankings as they're revealed.

LSU (10-0): The Tigers won a wild won, totaling 714 yards to Ole Miss' 614 in a 58-37 win. LSU should remain the No. 1 team for another week.
Ohio State (10-0): OSU did what it was expected to do and easily beat Rutgers. The Buckeyes will now have to play a Penn State team that is 9-1 but hasn't looked very impressive the last couple of weeks.
Clemson (11-0): The Tigers continue to cruise and dominate overmatched ACC teams, with Wake Forest the latest victim. Clemson doesn't play again until Week 14 against South Carolina.
Georgia (9-1): It wasn't easy at the end, but UGA held off Auburn and clinched the SEC East. That sets up what should be a huge showdown with LSU in Atlanta.
Oregon (9-1): The Ducks hope to be on a collision course to meet fellow 1-loss Utah in the Pac-12 title game. If things break right, it might end up being a quasi play-in game for the CFP.
Utah (9-1): The Utes did their job and crushed UCLA to remain part of the 1-loss pack.
Alabama (9-1): The story of Week 12 might end up being the injury to Tua Tagovailoa. It's going to be very difficult for the Tide to hold off 1-loss conference champions, even at 11-1, with Tua now out for the season.
Penn State (9-1): PSU escaped IU, but the Nittany Lions haven't looked great the last couple of weeks. Still, the Nittany Lions are in a position to take the East — if they can somehow win at Ohio State.
Oklahoma (9-1): OU completed the biggest comeback win in program history by rallying from down 25 to win, 34-31. Those CFP hopes aren't done yet.
Florida (9-2): The Gators held Mizzou to only 6 points, but Georgia clinched the SEC East by beating Auburn.
Minnesota (9-1): It'll be fascinating to see how much the committee drops Minnesota.
Wisconsin (8-2): Jonathan Taylor rushed for 204 yards and two touchdowns to frustrate Nebraska. And with Iowa beating Minnesota, the Badgers can win the Big Ten West if they win out.
Michigan (8-2): The Wolverines rolled again, crushing rival Michigan State. Shea Patterson had 384 yards and four touchdowns as OSU is now only a couple weeks away.
Notre Dame (8-2): The Irish remain in the hunt for a New Year's Six game.
Iowa (7-3): Another top-10 team came to Kinnick in November. Another top-10 left Iowa City with a loss.
Baylor (9-1): The CFP hopes are in serious trouble after the Sooners rallied for the win. There's definitely no more margin for error left.
Auburn (7-3): The Tigers gave No. 4 Georgia a good game. How much will the committee drop Auburn for a close loss?
Cincinnati (9-1): It took a Sam Crosa field goal on the final play of the game, but Cincinnati defeated South Florida — and kept the New Year's Six hopes afloat.
Memphis (9-1): The Tigers have scored 47, 42, 54 and 45 points since losing to Temple.
Boise State (9-1): The Broncos could use the AAC beating itself up to strengthen their New Year's Six hopes. But focus on winning the Mountain West first.
Oklahoma State (7-3): The Cowboys didn't mess around by beating Kansas 31-13.
Appalachian State (9-1): The Mountaineers trailed by 14 in the first quarter...and then ran away from Georgia State, 56-27.
SMU (9-1): The Mustangs dropped out after a win. They might return to the CFP rankings even though they don't play in Week 12.
Texas A&M (7-3): There are going to be some openings near the end with Texas, K-State and Navy all losing.
Iowa State (6-4): A few other contenders lost in Week 12, so the committee might elect the Cyclones thanks to the win against Texas — and super close losses to Iowa, Baylor, Oklahoma and Oklahoma State.

*-I'm projecting how this team does in Week 12.

And of course the big bowl games, tough break for Alabama and a bad injury for their star quarterback.

College Football Playoff rankings predictions: New Year's Six games

This is what I think the games and matchups will be at season's end. This isn't based off what the rankings will be this upcoming Tuesday.

Sugar Bowl: Alabama vs. Oklahoma

Orange Bowl: Georgia vs. Wake Forest
Cotton Bowl: Florida vs. Cincinnati
Peach Bowl (semifinal): No. 1 LSU vs. No. 4 Oregon
Fiesta Bowl (semifinal): No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Clemson <----. that might be interesting and why the #1 seed is nice
National Championship Game: No. 1 LSU vs. No. 2 Ohio State

And Updated Mon, Nov. 18, 2:15 PM ET - Odds Subject to Change

ODDS TO WIN 2019-20 COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME (1/6/20)

Team	Odds
Ohio State Buckeyes	9/4
LSU Tigers	9/4
Clemson Tigers	11/4
Georgia Bulldogs	8/1
Alabama Crimson Tide	18/1
Oklahoma Sooners	25/1
Utah Utes	25/1
Penn State Nittany Lions	40/1 <--- will change this Saturday
Oregon Ducks	40/1
Minnesota Golden Gophers	200/1
Michigan Wolverines	500/1
Wisconsin Badgers	500/1
Baylor Bears	1000/1
Florida Gators	2000/1
Notre Dame Fighting Irish	2000/1

4	Georgia	9-1	1343	5

7	Utah	9-1	1155	8
8	Oklahoma	9-1	1144	10
9	Penn State	9-1	1030	9

I repeat, Georgia has no business being at the top of the 1 loss teams...they should be at the bottom. They have THE worst loss of this entire group...to a South Carolina team with a losing record. I believe, if you check, that all the other 1 loss team took their loss to a team that may be ranked in the top 25. ...or in the case of Utah...to a team that at least was in the "others receiving votes" category ...USC.

My weekend lineup comes from this bunch with of course the main event is at high noon.

I just checked the morning line OSU -19.5 now O/U is 58. Everyone must think the BUCKEYES are on a mission from God or something.

My YSU Penguins must win today to finish at a terrible 6-6 for a team that had playoff potential in the toughest D-1A conference in America at noon on radio.

No. 1 LSU vs. Arkansas | 7 p.m. Saturday | ESPN
No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 9 Penn State | 12 p.m. Saturday | FOX <---- the only top 25 matchups this week
No. 4 Georgia vs. No. 24 Texas A&M | 3:30 p.m. Saturday | CBS <------ and here, not much else to get really excited about
No. 5 Alabama vs. Western Carolina | 12 p.m. Saturday | ESPN <------. Hahaha, oh yeah.
No. 6 Oregon at Arizona State | 7:30 p.m. Saturday | ABC
No. 7 Utah at Arizona | 10 p.m. Saturday | FS1
No. 8 Oklahoma vs. TCU | 8 p.m. Saturday | FOX
No. 11 Minnesota at Northwestern | 12 p.m. Saturday | ABC
No. 12 Michigan at Indiana | 3:30 p.m. Saturday | ESPN
No. 13 Baylor vs. Texas | 3:30 p.m. | FS1
No. 14 Wisconsin vs. Purdue | 4 p.m. | FOX
No. 15 Notre Dame vs. Boston College | 2:30 p.m. Saturday | NBC <----- my ND back at it.

BUCKEYES 21-0 halftime then the PSU QB goes down now 21-7. But in reality it should be OSU 35-7 anyway, third quarter.

*POOF*. 21-14. Getting interesting now.

Ruh Roh! Hang on Sloopy..and quit putting the ball out on the turf..21-17 Bucks..start of 4th

OHIO STATE 28 Penn State 17 final.

The 11-0 BUCKEYES will play for the BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP.

Does USC or UCLA own a Defense? Up & down the field all day. USC 38-21 late 3rd..and I'm not a state of Texas fan..But man, Baylor has been fun to watch the last few weeks..Their offensive playbook & WR's are both solid..QB Brewer can play

Just a peek into next week's schedule should be interesting. AP rankings:

And OSU is an early 9 point favorite in the game.

RANKED vs. RANKED

No. 2 Ohio State at No. 10 Michigan. Is THIS the year Jim Harbaugh finally breaks through against the Buckeyes?

No. 5 Alabama at No. 16 Auburn. All eyes on Alabama backup quarterback Mac Jones in the Iron Bowl.

No. 7 Oklahoma at No. 21 Oklahoma State. Bedlam is for bragging rights and the Sooners' playoff hopes.

No. 13 Wisconsin at No. 9 Minnesota. The winner goes to the Big Ten championship game as West Division champion.

No. 18 Cincinnati at No. 17 Memphis. The Tigers need a

I thought some of these games were played on Friday.

I believe that once upon a time on the Friday after Thanksgiving the following games use to be played:

Oklahoma vs. Nebraska

Texas vs. Texas A&M

but these games are no longer played, and that is kinda too bad.
