College Football Playoff Rankings: 3 B1G teams remain in top 25 entering Rivalry Week

The College Football Playoff Rankings have been updated as we head toward Thanksgiving. On the horizon is Rivalry Weekend and key matchups that will further shape the outlook for the Playoff.

At the top of the rankings, the first four spots were unlikely to change coming out of Week 12. The previous top four of Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan and TCU all struggled over the weekend but all four remained undefeated when it was all said and done.

If the top four does indeed stand pat, it will shape a mammoth matchup in The Game between Michigan and Ohio State. That matchup will decide the B1G East and could give one team the inside track to the No. 2 overall seed in the Playoff.

Here’s how the CFP Top 25 looks heading to Thanksgiving:
