NCAA Football Rankings - 26 Nov

The regular season has ended, and there are 5 undefeated teams still standing, 4 from major conferences, which would make the playoff selection process very easy if it were to happen today. Georgia and Washington have the toughest games coming up, and I am picking the Huskies to fall to Oregon next week, which would open up a spot to one of the 1-loss teams, a spot that I would give to the Ducks. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
