Football The stakes are higher because the Playoff Committee will reveal their rankings every week. It’s true. As the playoff picture begins to form, I look forward to more exciting matchups. Let’s first take a look my top 10 college football rankings before Week 12.1. Ohio State Title odds: +200There’s not much to say about the Buckeyes, other than that this is status quo from the best team in the country. Ryan Day’s team has two more dress-rehearsals before facing Michigan at the Big House.2. Texas A&MTitle odds: +750The Aggies left no doubt in Missouri on Saturday in what was a complete domination. It looks like the A&M will take an 11-0 record to Austin on Thanksgiving weekend.3. Indiana Title odds: +500Conference road games are hard. What A&M and Ohio State did this weekend was the exception, not the rule. All that matters for IU is that the Hoosiers — who looked in control until they suddenly weren’t — had a drive and catch for the ages to keep their undefeated mark intact. Indiana should find things much easier this week in Bloomington vs Wisconsin. 4. Alabama Title odds: +700The Tied’s defense led the way against a punchless LSU offense, but I keep getting this strange feeling that Kalen DeBoer’s bunch could be in trouble against either Oklahoma or Auburn. Seemingly, everything has gone their way since the opening week loss in Tallahassee, and eventually every key play will stop going their way, right? 5. Georgia Title odds: +1100Mississippi State was no match for the Dawgs, who posted season highs in rush yards, total yards and yards per play— along with their fourth, 40-point game of the year. Now, two top-15 opponents face off this week in Athens, when Texas looks to keep its late-season resurgence going and reverse the result from two meetings a year ago. 6. Oregon Title odds: +1200That game in Iowa City went pretty much how everyone expected— low-scoring, ugly, bad weather, along with a dramatic finish and strange final score. You have to give the Ducks credit for winning in Kinnick despite their short-handedness. Dante Moore and Malik Benson made an incredible throw and catch on the final drive, setting up the winning field-goal. Oregon has a short week, but then gets a couple days of extra rest before SC comes to town. 7. Texas TechTitle Odds: +1800Tech dominated this game. The Cougars deserve credit too for battling so long. The Red Raiders are the best team in the Big 12 and it’s not particularly close. 8. Ole Miss Title odds: +1800The CFP-bound Rebs game against the Gators is looking far more manageable now, since it looks like the dam may have finally burst for Florida. How many articles will be written about Lane Kiffin coaching his future team on Saturday? 9. TexasTitle Odds: +3000Texas faces a major test this week in Athens. A win opens up CFP paths and a close loss likely doesn’t crush hopes either, since the Longhorns will get a shot at undefeated A&M the final week of the regular season. 10. Oklahoma Title odds: +6000I have OU ahead of Notre Dame, which is in the AP and Coaches Top 10. The Irish are now overrated, as I mentioned last week. Their records are the same, and they have more wins. They also have a stronger schedule. Chris “The Bear Fallica” has been covering sports for over 30 years.
