As the 2025 college football season enters Week 12, the race for the College Football Playoff is poised for a major shakeup. On November 15th, 23 of the 25 ranked teams in the US LBM Coaches Poll will be in action, including two highly anticipated top-10 matchups in the SEC.
No. 4 Alabama will host No. 10 Oklahoma, while No. 5 Georgia will face off against No. 10 Texas. These high-stakes clashes could have a significant impact on the 12-team playoff field. Additionally, No. 9 Notre Dame will travel to take on No. 23 Pittsburgh, drawing enough attention for ESPN's "College GameDay" to return to Pittsburgh for the first time in 20 years.
The article notes that any team could be on upset alert on any given Saturday, as evidenced by recent close calls for top-ranked teams. Last week, No. 2 Indiana narrowly avoided an upset against Penn State, while No. 14 Vanderbilt survived an overtime scare against Auburn.
With so many ranked teams in action, the 2025 college football landscape is poised for a dramatic shakeup in Week 12, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to the regular season.
