College Football Power Rankings - Week 14

Power Ranking


1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Washington
5. Michigan
6. Penn State
7. Wisconsin
8. Oklahoma
9. Colorado
10. Oklahoma State
11. West Virginia
12. Western Michigan
13. USC
14. Florida State
15. Louisville
16. Navy
17. Boise State
18. Stanford
19. Florida
20. Nebraska
21. Virginia Tech
22. Houston
23. LSU
24. Utah
25. Auburn

I think so far it is a pretty easy task to pick who should be in the playoff. They have mostly been near the top all year.  A couple of little flaws in the system will be Ohio State making it, and not actually winning or even getting to conference championship. In reality two spots are up for grabs, the Clemson and Washington games are the ones to watch. If both teams win, the playoff will be set with Alabama facing Washington and Clemson facing Ohio State.  The Clemson versus Ohio State would be a great game.

Heisman


1. QB Lamar Jackson - Louisville
2. QB Deshaun Watson - Clemson
3. WR Dede Westbrook - Oklahoma
4. RB D'Onta Foreman - Texas
5. RB Donnel Pumphrey - San Diego State
Honorable Mentions - Baker Mayfield, Jalen Hurts, Jabrill Peppers, Jake Browning

The race has tightened up with end of the year struggles by Louisville and Lamar Jackson.  He has put up some impressive numbers this year and it would take a big time performance from the other candidates to win it. Deshaun Watson has the best chance after a big South Carolina game and with the championship game coming up.

Predictions


Friday


Western Michigan VS Ohio - Western Michigan
Colorado VS Washington - Washington

Saturday


Temple VS Navy - Navy
Oklahoma State VS Oklahoma - Oklahoma
Baylor VS West Virginia - West Virginia
Alabama VS Florida - Alabama
Clemson VS Virginia Tech - Clemson
Wisconsin VS Penn State - Penn State

Potential Upset - Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State
Best Game - Wisconsin VS Penn State
On paper the team higher ranked and best teams should win. There will be upsets so be prepared to watch it just to see the excitement.  If either Clemson or Washington lose someone will sneak into the playoff potentially, which would make for pretty exciting playoff selection show.
