Michigan and Ohio State remain atop the college football rankings heading into their matchup next week to close out the regular season, but the rest of the top 10 shifted around behind them. Florida State dropped 4 spots after their already-weak strength of schedule took a big hit with their game against North Alabama, while Georgia continued to climb after beating a good team for the third straight week. Four Power 5 teams are projected to finish the regular season undefeated, though I project Washington to lose to Oregon in the conference title game, leaving the final playoff spot to the Ducks, with Ohio State and Texas being left out. Here are my full current rankings, with projected conference champs in bold, runners-up underlined, and playoff teams in red:
