Football Poll Watching Week 13: Washington Bumps Up Into CFP Top Four

After beating No. 11 Oregon State, the Huskies now hold one of the coveted playoff spots. Can they hold on to it for the next two weeks?

In a week that didn't give us that many upsets, this week's college football polls didn't make too many changes, at least at the top of the polls. 

In the College Football Playoffs rankings, the only change in the Top Ten was Washington moving up to the No. 4 spot, which moved Florida State down to No. 5. In the AP Top 25, in addition to Washington/Florida State flipping, Ohio State and Michigan also flipped at No. 2/No. 3. And in the Coaches Poll, only Ohio State/Michigan flipped.

Georgia remains at the top spot in all three polls. They tied an SEC record last week with 28 consecutive wins. They could break that record this week with a win over Georgia Tech. 

Michigan and Ohio State meet for "The Game" this week, so that will determine which of those teams gets the higher ranking next week. 

This week, in addition to being the last week of the regular season, it's also Rivalry Week, with many key rivalry games taking place coast to coast which could impact next week's rankings. 

The Big 12 has four teams ranked in the CFP rankings, with Texas being the closest to having a chance of making the CFP. Kansas is no longer ranked in any poll, but is still receiving votes. 

The ranked Big 12 teams include:

• Texas - No. 7 in all three polls
• Oklahoma - No. 13 in all three polls
• Kansas State - No. 19 in the CFP and AP Top 25; No. 20 in the Coaches Poll
• Oklahoma State - No. 20 in the CFP and Coaches Poll; No. 21 in the AP Top 25
• Kansas - Receiving votes in the AP Top 25 (#32) and Coaches Poll (#35)
• West Virginia - Receiving votes in the Coaches Poll (#37)

Here are the highlights from all three polls:
