BCS Rankings Predictions 2013: How Week 13's Action Shook Up BCS Picture

Another week of college football meant that more powerhouses took a tumble down the BCS rankings. The No. 5-ranked Oregon Ducks were dismantled by the Arizona Wildcats, and the previously undefeated Baylor Bears no longer hold that distinction.

But those aren’t the only teams that are on the move in the standings. Here is how the BCS rankings will look after Week 13’s results.

Rank	Team	Record	Conference	Pvs
1	Alabama	11-0	SEC	1
2	Florida State	11-0	ACC	2
3	Ohio State	11-0	Big Ten	3
4	Auburn	10-1	SEC	6
5	Clemson	10-1	ACC	7
6	Missouri	10-1	SEC	8
7	Oklahoma State	10-1	Big 12	10
8	Stanford	9-2	Pac-12	9
9	South Carolina	9-2	SEC	11
10	Michigan State	10-1	Big Ten	13
11	Baylor	9-1	Big 12	4
12	Oregon	9-2	Pac-12	5
13	Arizona State	9-2	Pac-12	17
14	Wisconsin	9-2	Big Ten	19
15	LSU	8-3	SEC	22
16	Fresno State	10-0	MWC	15
17	Northern Illinois	11-0	MAC	16
18	Central Florida	9-1	AAC	18
19	Louisville	10-1	AAC	21
20	Oklahoma	9-2	Big 12	20
21	Texas A&M	8-3	SEC	12
22	USC	9-3	Pac-12	23
23	Duke	9-2	ACC	NR
24	UCLA	8-3	Pac-12	14
25	Georgia	7-4	SEC	NR

There’s no change at the very top of the rankings, as Alabama, Florida State and Ohio State rolled to dominant victories over lesser teams.

A Baylor win over a top-10 team would probably have resulted in them leap-frogging the Buckeyes, but that's not how it all unfolded. The fourth- and fifth-ranked teams both lost (Oregon and Baylor), causing them both to drop seven spots.

With the dominant home victory over Baylor, the Oklahoma State Cowboys jump to the seventh spot as the fourth in a string of impressive 10-1 teams.

The losses by the Ducks and Bears allowed the South Carolina Gamecocks and Michigan State Spartans to creep into the top 10.

Losses by both the UCLA Bruins and Texas A&M Aggies send both schools crashing down into the 20s, and the Aggies' loss is a big blow to Johnny Manziel's hopes of repeating as the Heisman winner. The teams that beat UCLA and Texas A&M (Arizona State and LSU respectively) soared into the top 15 ahead of some undefeated and one-loss teams on the strength of their schedules.

Fresno State, Northern Illinois and UCF all won but stayed put or even fell because of their lack of elite competition.

Finally, there are two new entrants into the Top 25 (at least, new in that they weren't ranked last week). One of them is the Georgia Bulldogs, who have managed to fight their way back into the Top 25 despite being decimated by injuries to key players.

Sliding in at No. 23 are the Duke Blue Devils, which is a huge accomplishment for the program that plays second-fiddle to the basketball team. Duke is atop the ACC Coastal division and playing excellent football, which earns them their spot in the rankings.

Week 13 was a crazy week of college football, and it resulted in a big change to the national-championship picture. With Baylor's loss, Ohio State is now poised to play in the title game if one of the two teams ahead of it falters.

All eyes will be on the Iron Bowl next week, as the fourth-ranked Auburn Tigers host the two-time defending champions with their minds set on knocking them out of the national-championship conversation.
