It’s week 12 so let’s analyze all 131 FBS college football teams and publish our data driven college football power rankings. In addition, we give you our Heisman Trophy and College Football Playoff Rankings.
What's Inside
College Football Playoff Rankings – Week 12
If the College Football Playoff were to happen this week, this would be the Final Four:
- Georgia (SEC Champ) vs. 4. Tennessee
- Ohio State (SEC Champ) vs. 3. TCU (Big 12 Champ)
If we were at the 12 team college football playoff for the 2022 season, this is how we’d seed it:
8 vs. 9 – Clemson vs. Penn State (winner faces #1Georgia)
7 vs. 10 – USC vs. Utah (winner faces #2 Ohio State)
6 vs. 11 – Alabama vs. LSU (winner faces #3 TCU)
5 vs. 12 – Michigan vs. Oregon (winner faces #4 Tennessee)
2022 Heisman Tropy Rankings – Week 12
I don’t have a Heisman ballot but if I did, my ballot this week would like like this:
- Hendon Hooker (QB – Tennessee)
- Stetson Bennett (QB – Georgia)
- Drake Maye (QB – North Carolina)
