Alabama received 56 of 60 first place votes, snagging one away from Florida State after receiving 55 a week ago and for most of the year for that matter.
Some big games on the schedule this week in the final regular season game for most teams, including a major showdown game in the state of Alabama. Let’s take a look at the top 10 teams and their chances of moving up, or down on Sunday when the next set of rankings are released. Odds courtesy BetOnline.
1. Alabama Crimson Tide (11-0, previous: 1)
Alabama’s tune-up game against Chattanooga was a breeze, as the Crimson Tide steamrolled the Mocs, 49-0. On Saturday, the Tide will travel to Jordan-Hare Stadium for the weekend’s marquee matchup between the top-ranked Tide and the fourth-ranked Auburn Tigers. Alabama could be knocked right out of the title game picture with a loss, as Auburn would represent the SEC West in the SEC championship game with a win. Alabama is a 10.5-point favorite in the game.
2. Florida State Seminoles (11-0, previous: 2)
Florida State beat Boston College by 14 points but hasn’t won any of their other games by fewer than 27 points, scoring 41 or better while allowing 17 or fewer points each time. In their last three contests, the Seminoles have outscored opponents 198-20, including an 80-14 drubbing of Idaho last weekend.

On Saturday they get a reeling Florida team in a rivalry game that’s lost some of its luster given Florida’s loss to FCS school Georgia Southern last weekend.
3. Ohio State Buckeyes (11-0, previous: 4)
Ohio State hit a stumbling block in the middle part of their schedule, but they are back in cruise control, beating Indiana 42-14 over the weekend. On Saturday they’ll go to the Big House to take on a disappointing Michigan squad as 14.5-point favorites. The Buckeyes are 23-0 under Urban Meyer.
4. Auburn Tigers (10-1, previous: 6)
Auburn needed their prayer to be answered to sneak past Georgia on a late Hail Mary on Saturday. They’ll need some other-worldly assistance again on Saturday if they hope to get past Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
5. Missouri Tigers (10-1, previous: 8)
The return of James Franklin gave Missouri a boost in a 24-10 win over Ole Miss. The team will need him to provide some extra offense on Saturday when they host an inspired Johnny Manziel in what will likely be his final collegiate game. The Tigers are installed as 4.5-point favorites in the contest.

6. Clemson Tigers (10-1, previous: 7)
Clemson didn’t have any trouble with Citadel in a 52-6 thrashing. The team has scored better than 50 points in each of their last three contests, but now go to Columbia to face a tough Gamecocks team as five-point underdogs.
7. Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-1, previous 11)
The Cowboys made an awful lot of noise on Saturday when they ripped apart Baylor, 49-17. They get a week off before another big-time matchup with Oklahoma.
8. Stanford Cardinal (9-2, previous: 10)
Stanford walked all over California on Saturday in a 50-point win, and oddsmakers expect them to continue to roll on Saturday when they host Notre Dame as 14-point favorites.
9. Baylor Bears (9-1, previous: 3)
Baylor’s blown out teams all year prior to last week’s stumble against Oklahoma State. The team is expected to get back to blowing team’s out as they’ll be giving away 13.5 points to TCU on the road on Saturday.
10. South Carolina Gamecocks (9-2, previous: 12)
Outside of a couple pitfalls on the road in the SEC, South Carolina has been everything we expected this season, and will give away five points to a 10-1 Clemson team on Saturday. The Gamecocks have won four in a row in the series, outscoring the Tigers 124-54 in those contests.
Texas Tech vs Texas NCAAF Handicapping
The Texas Tech Read Raiders will lock horns with host Texas in their annual interstate rivalry game on Thanksgiving night.
WMU vs NIU College Football Spread/Handicapping
This week will likely be a bit anticlimactic for Northern Illinois. Last week they had a legitimate challenge against a good Toledo team on the road but their last game of the MAC regular season is against a very limited Western Michigan team.
BYU vs Notre Dame College Football Spread/Handicapping
This is a nice late season battle for both of these teams. Neither of these teams is in contention for the BCS Championship but these are proud programs who will be up to try and best the other.
Idaho vs Florida State College Football Spread/Handicapping
This is a very curious game at this stage of the schedule as Florida State steps out of the ACC for a date with the Idaho Vandals.
Missouri vs Ole Miss NCAA Football Handicapping
The 24th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels have been on a hot streak, winning four games in a row following a three-game losing streak, but the team now runs into a buzzsaw in the form of the eighth-ranked Missouri Tigers, who have been one of the more pleasant surprises in college football this season, and will be getting their starting quarterback back from injury.
Texas A&M vs LSU NCAA Football Handicapping
The 22nd-ranked LSU Tigers will look to get back above .500 in the SEC and make a positive mark on an otherwise disappointing season on Saturday when they host the 12th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, who will be looking to make some BCS noise with a win of their own.
Wisconsin vs Minnesota NCAAF Handicapping
No. 22 Wisconsin would need to move into a top 14 ranking in the BCS standings to gain an at-large berth, up three spots from its current ranking of 19.
Baylor vs OSU NCAAF Handicapping
Two teams that rank in the top 15 in the county in both scoring offense and scoring defense will face off on Saturday night, as the No. 5 Baylor Bears take on No. 12 Oklahoma State.
Virginia vs Miami NCAAF Handicapping
Virginia will hope history is on its side as they head to Miami on Saturday as heavy road underdogs against No. 23 Miami.
Memphis vs Louisville NCAA Football Handicapping
The 21st-ranked Louisville Cardinals look to continue their quest for retribution after their loss to Central Florida when they host the Memphis Tigers in a showdown matchup in The American.
ASU vs UCLA NCAA Football Odds
Week 13 features two teams playing in Pasadena who are fighting for a spot in the Pac-12 championship. The No. 17 Arizona Sun Devils can clinch the South Division with a win, but the No. 14 UCLA Bruins have other plans in mind.
