College Football Rankings 2020: Latest Polls, Predictions for Week 14 Standings

College football is a week closer to bowl season and the College Football Playoff, and there is still no movement among the top eight teams in both the Associated Press and Coaches polls.

Alabama, Notre Dame and Clemson all won handily, but Ohio State's situation became more precarious with the cancellation of its game against Illinois.

If the Buckeyes—who have now had two games canceled due to COVID-related issues—miss another game, they will be ineligible for the Big Ten Championship Game and would potentially be excluded from the CFP. 

Because of the league's late start, it did not include bye weeks for makeup games, so Ohio State will need to complete—and win—both of its matchups against Michigan and Michigan State to qualify for the championship game.

Week 14 Top Games

Week 14 features just two matchups of Top 25 teams—No. 12 Indiana vs. No. 16 Wisconsin, and No. 14 Coastal Carolina vs. No. 25 Liberty—but that doesn't mean there will be a shortage of intrigue.

The Hoosiers, who lost to Ohio State by a touchdown on Nov. 21, will be in prime position to represent the East division in the Big Ten title game if the Buckeyes don't qualify, but they'll need to win out to do so.

Wisconsin, which has just one conference loss, is playing its final game of the regular season and won't be eligible for the championship game because it will have only played four games this season due to roster issues. But that doesn't mean the Badgers won't be looking to play spoiler.

Prediction: Wisconsin 27, Indiana 21

Arguably the best game of the weekend will take place in Conway, South Carolina, where Liberty—whose only blemish is a 15-14 loss to North Carolina State—and undefeated Coastal Carolina face off.

Both teams are led by coaches (Jamey Chadwell and Hugh Freeze) who have been rumored as potential candidates for bigger jobs this season, but the Chanticleers especially still have something to play for.

Although Cincinnati is in position for the Group of Five's New Year's Six bowl spot, CCU is waiting in the wings if the Bearcats lose, particularly with a win over the Flames. 

Prediction: Coastal Carolina 35, Liberty 24

A week after the brutal 20-7 win over LSU, No. 5 Texas A&M will face its toughest remaining matchup when it travels to Auburn, which is coming off a blowout loss to Alabama in the Iron Bowl.

The Tigers aren't particularly dominant on either side of the ball, but if Kellen Mond and the Aggies offense struggle anywhere near the level they did against an abysmal LSU defense, Auburn could pull off the home upset.

Texas A&M doesn't have much of a path to the CFP because it can't pass Alabama in the SEC West standings, but if the aforementioned Ohio State scenario plays out, it could slide into the No. 4 spot. But that is dependent on the Aggies winning out, which won't be an easy task. 

Prediction: Auburn 24, Texas A&M 17
