College football predictions for Week 13: Ohio State vs. Cincinnati in the semifinals?
Only two weeks left until college football season kicks off and the race for four playoff spots is down to eight teams.
That will take place this weekend between the four of them. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State meet in Bedlam in a battle between the College Football Knockout Qualifiers. Ohio State meets Michigan in the Game, which is a de facto representative game with the winner going to the Big Ten championship game.
Of course, Alabama-Georgia is on the horizon, and Cincinnati is trying to hold off Notre Dame despite a head-to-head victory.

As it stands, Sporting News sees the playoff picture unfolding like this. Alabama may lose to Georgia, but the Crimson Tide will make it to the fourth team and have a rematch. Ohio State and Cincinnati take other slots and meet in a #2 vs. #3 match that will attract high ratings in Buckeye (or Bearcat) State.
Our performance predictions are for us to believe how the rest of the season will go.
