**[City, State] –** Week 13 of the college football season kicks off with high stakes, as every game could drastically alter the College Football Playoff (CFP) picture. The upcoming fourth CFP rankings release on Tuesday, November 26th at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN will add another layer of suspense.
Oregon maintains its No. 1 ranking for the third consecutive week, followed by Texas, Miami, Boise State, and Ohio State in the top five. However, the landscape is far from settled.
