NCAA Football Rankings 2020: Predicting Top Movers in Week 12 Top 25 Standings

If college football fans were expecting a weekend of upsets, they're sorely disappointed after Saturday.

Three of the game's top four teams—Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson—were idle, and outside of No. 19 SMU's defeat to Tulsa, there wasn't a single Top 25 team that lost in Week 11.

There were, however, a couple of impressive wins, namely in the Big Ten, and a few victories that came a little too close for comfort—we're talking about you, Miami. As such, there likely won't be much movement in this week's Top 25 polls, save for a few teams moving up or down a spot depending on how dominant their wins were.

Badgers Bully Hapless Michigan

Wisconsin hadn't played since Oct. 24 because of COVID-19-related issues within the program, and the Badgers took out that frustration of Michigan, rolling up 341 rushing yards and five touchdowns on the ground. They led 28-0 at one point and never took their foot off the gas, as any hope of a midseason turnaround faded for Jim Harbaugh's squad.

Still remaining on the schedule are games against a surprisingly stout No. 23 Northwestern team, showdowns with Minnesota and Iowa and a meeting with No. 10 Indiana on Dec. 5. If the Badgers can run the table, they will face No. 3 Ohio State in the Big Ten title game, likely with a shot at the College Football Playoff on the line.

Florida Offense Torches Arkansas

If there were any doubt about Kyle Trask's legitimacy as a Heisman candidate, he put it to bed in the first half of No. 5 Florida's dominant 63-35 win over Arkansas. Trask had five touchdown passes in the first half alone and ended the game with as many TD passes (six) as he had incompletions.

The Gators look well on their way to a meeting with No. 1 Alabama in the SEC Championship Game, and while those games haven't been kind to Florida in recent history, this team has an offense with weapons that none of the other Gator teams came close to.

Whether Florida's defense can slow down the Crimson Tide's own dominant offense is a different question, but don't expect there to be a shortage of points if these two teams end up in Atlanta.

Indiana's Dream Season Continues

The last time the University of Indiana had a football team ranked in the top 10, head coach Tom Allen hadn't been born—and he's 50. For a program that has been mired in mediocrity for nearly all of its existence, 2020 has been a revelation. What started with a controversial last-second win over then-No. 8 Penn State has turned into four consecutive wins, with the latest being a 24-0 shutout of Michigan State.

The Hoosiers still have regular-season games against both No. 13 Wisconsin and No. 3 Ohio State left on the schedule, but even if the Hoosiers split them, they could make a significant case to be considered for a New Year's Six bowl game. And if they win both and beat Wisconsin in the rematch in the Big Ten title game? Well, you can do the math.
