College Soccer Rankings Predictions for Week 12: Georgia, Alabama Rematch Scenario Returns
The College Football Playoff race has entered its home phase with just three weeks left until the tie-ups are revealed.
Oklahoma’s loss to Baylor has opened up a debate about how the CFP can be shaken. In Sporting News’ latest bleak prediction, we have Alabama back in the four-team playoffs and an Alabama-Georgia National Championship game in Indianapolis.
That requires wins for Alabama against Arkansas, Auburn and Georgia in the SEC championship game. If Alabama does that and Oregon loses one in Utah, Oregon State and the Pac-12 championship game, the picture becomes clear. Those two scenarios are a twist, but for now we’ll say the Crimson Tide wins and Oregon loses one of its last three games. It will also open the door for Cincinnati to make it to the playoffs.
THAN: Week 12 choose against disparity | The Heisman Race
This year’s disappointing season consisted of 42 matches between FBS teams. The College Football Playoff championship game takes place January 10 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The semi-finals take place on December 31 at the Capital One Orange Bowl and the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.
Our performance predictions are for us to believe how the rest of the season will go.
