College Football Playoff rankings (CFP) are out, and College football Week 12 Predictions and preview gets real fast. Live reaction to the CFP Top 25 plus bold previews and predictions for the biggest CFB games: Iowa football vs USC football, Oklahoma vs Alabama football, Texas Longhorns vs Georgia Bulldogs, Minnesota vs Oregon Ducks, Notre Dame football vs Pittsburgh, Wisconsin Badgers vs Indiana football, South Carolina vs Texas A&M, Florida Gators vs Ole Miss, and TCU vs BYU football. George Wrighster cuts through the noise on who’s truly built for November and which results actually move the CFB Playoff needle across the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12.
We’ll call our Upset Alerts—Michigan football vs Northwestern, Virginia vs Duke, Utah Utes vs Baylor, NC State vs Miami—and explain the exact pressure points (QB play, travel, depth, and coaching edges). Then we hit the No Doubt board—UCLA vs Ohio State, UCF vs Texas Tech—with a reality check on why elite rosters separate late. Can USC protect long enough to beat Iowa’s physicality? Will Alabama suffocate Oklahoma or get dragged into tempo? Is Texas ready for Georgia’s body blows? And does Oregon keep its playoff path clean against a tricky Minnesota? We’ll stack résumés, challenge brand bias, and project who lands inside the CFP Top 12 after Week 12. Drop your winners, your upset pick, and your updated Top 10—receipts welcome.
