    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.

    A lot of cancellations and postponements plus several blowouts led to a somewhat forgettable Week 11 in College Football. However, we still saw some movement as Indiana went to 4-0 in the Big Ten, moving up to 19th in the Elo Rankings (they are up to 10th in the AP Poll, which has proven to be unwieldy in 2020).

    Penn State have fallen out of the Top 25 and will be lucky to win two games this season. Clemson remain at #1, although barely, and with their remaining strength of schedule, expect Alabama or Ohio State to surpass them in the final weeks of the season heading into the College Football Playoff.

    Clemson fall back down to Earth after a 2OT loss to Notre Dame, putting them almost even with Alabama. It’s looking like ND, Ohio State, and Alabama could finish undefeated, with Clemson winning their remaining games and earning a rematch against the Irish in the ACC Championship. Florida and Oregon will likely have to win their way in, or hope for a collapse from one of the top four. View the full rankings below.
