NCAA Football Rankings - 27 Nov

Michigan made a big move upward in this week's rankings thanks to a huge road win over Ohio State yesterday, and for the first time this season, the top 4 teams in my rankings are the 4 I am picking to play in this season's playoff, as they are projected to be the only 4 teams with fewer than 2 losses. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
