    Week 13 Elo Rankings

    The unpredictableness that has been 2020 continued this past weekend, with a slew of cancellations, along with some slightly surprising results. Rutgers brought Michigan to triple-overtime but came up just short, while Northwestern went to 5-0 and 20th in our Elo rankings after defensive standoff where they got the better of Wisconsin. Indiana also put up a solid fight against Ohio State, keeping things close to the very end, while Penn State slid to 0-5 for the first time in school history, something that, like 2020, fans will be looking to put in the past as soon as possible.

    Oklahoma handled Oklahoma State fairly easily to stay in the top 10, and BYU turned down the opportunity to add a Power-5 opponent to their resume. Check out the full updated ratings below.
