College Football: Week 13 Polls and Opponents

Last week's results created only a few small ripples in the polls but that could change during Week 13. It’s a Big Weekend for college football with many, many traditional rivalries on tap. Perhaps the two most meaningful games will be played on Friday as #2 Auburn plays against #9 Alabama and #3 Boise State squares off against #19 Nevada. Each pits an undefeated team against a worthy challenger. The latter could propel Boise State into the National Championship game…or not. Then there’s #1 Oregon vs #20 Arizona, #6 LSU vs #12 Arkansas, and #10 Oklahoma State against #15 Oklahoma among others. Could be a whole lot of shakin’ goin’ on.

[The three numbers for the rankings are from the AP Top 25, The Harris Coaches’ Poll, and CBSSports.com. An “NR” means that that particular poll did Not Rank the team.]
