Well, well, well. The College Football Playoff rankings have sure seen some shuffling after Week 13's surprises! Let's dive into the new 12-team bracket and see who's still standing and who's fallen.

Oregon, the lone undefeated team, is sitting pretty at the top. They're the projected Big Ten champs and have a solid defense to back up their impressive offense. This dynamic duo makes them a formidable force.

Texas held its ground at No. 2, but they've got a big game coming up against Texas A&M. The health of their quarterback, Quinn Ewers, is a big question mark. Miami stayed steady at No. 3 with a win over Wake Forest. They're on track for the ACC title game if they beat Syracuse this week.

Boise State, the highest-ranked Group of 5 team, snagged the fourth seed and a bye. They're on a roll since their loss to Oregon.

Now, onto the first-round matchups. Arizona State pulled off a massive upset against BYU, shaking up the Big 12 standings and earning them a spot in the bracket. They'll face Ohio State, who crushed Indiana last week.

Tennessee versus Georgia is another exciting matchup. Tennessee just shut out UTEP, while Georgia bounced back against UMass. Both teams are heading toward their conference championships.

SMU, the ACC surprise, is heading to the conference championship after beating Virginia. They'll take on Notre Dame, who's on a nine-game winning streak.

Lastly, Indiana and Penn State are both still in the mix despite recent losses. It's anybody's game with these changes!
