College football Week 13 winners and losers: A Saturday of scares leads to a still-muddy playoff picture

It was a Saturday of scares to end the 2023 college football regular season.

No. 2 Michigan held on to beat No. 3 Ohio State by six thanks to a late interception. No. 8 Alabama needed a miracle fourth-down conversion to avoid an upset by unranked Auburn. No. 4 Washington had to have a field goal as time expired to stay undefeated. No. 5 Florida State overcame a 12-0 deficit at Florida to move to 12-0.

Outside of No. 10 Louisville's loss to Kentucky, there weren't any surprising results at the top of the College Football Playoff rankings in Week 13. And that means the College Football Playoff picture is incredibly muddled with four undefeated teams and four teams with one loss at the top of the rankings. There's a lot to play for during conference championship weekend.

Chip Kelly won’t make it past Monday. That CAL team is not very talented.

Husky fan here (BSEE UW 1982). Am expecting a loss Friday, but these guys somehow can pull victory from the jaws of defeat.

Go Dawgs! Beat the Quackers from Nike U!

Every game available with a cable subscription.

NFL Sunday. The only game worth watching is PHI/Buffalo. The other half of the country gets to watch the Raiders lose to KC-go figure.

Oregon is really good. The BIG with them, Washington, USC and UCLA will be fun next year.

Florida should have gotten Diaz the moment Miami fired him. Another mistake by Sunbelt Billy.

Last night the Cal Commies blew out UCLA 33-7.

That was a shocker. Guess they figured their season was over after beating USC.

Bama receiver pushed off to get open. Refs won’t call penalties on Bama.

UGA is still in I think but probably as the 3 or 4 seed.

Now, what if all the undefeateds lose next weekend? Talk about chaos.

Presuming UGA loses next weekend and all else win…Michigan, Washington, UGA/FSU or FSU/UGA.
