ESPN releases College Football Playoff picks after Week 12

At the end of each college football weekend, a panel of four ESPN reporters put together their College Football Playoff projections. It should come as no surprise that, once again, there was zero change after Week 12’s action.

Every team in the top four won this week.

For a third consecutive week, the CFP picks were unanimous across the board among the four writers:

“For the third consecutive week, our playoff picks remain unanimous, as Alabama, Clemson, Notre Dame and Michigan all took care of business. With Rivalry Week looming, we could see a shakeup next week as the Wolverines prepare to face off with Ohio State for a spot in the Big Ten title game. Meanwhile, the Crimson Tide face Auburn, Clemson squares off with South Carolina and the Irish travel to struggling USC.”

Here’s a look at the projections:
