After one week spent outside the projected field of four, Florida State moved back to No. 4 in Tuesday’s latest College Football Playoff rankings. That should mean the Seminoles (12-0) control their own destiny when quarterback Tate Rodemaker leads them against No. 14 Louisville in the ACC championship game on Saturday night in Charlotte, N.C. When Washington supplanted Florida State for the No. 4 spot a week ago, Seminoles coach Mike Norvell wasn’t fazed, saying

Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has gone from outcast to indispensable hero in less than three months. Now fresh off executing the ‘Milroe Miracle,’ he’ll be asked to perform another huge accomplishment when the No. 8 Crimson Tide face top-ranked Georgia in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday at Atlanta.

The final Pac-12 championship game has it all. An undefeated team. Two top Heisman candidates. The nation’s best two passing attacks. A rematch of a regular-season thriller. A heated regional rivalry. And the winner essentially punches a ticket to the College Football Playoff. No. 3 Washington (12-0) and No. 5 Oregon (11-1) — two programs headed to the Big Ten in 2024 — will meet Friday night in Las Vegas, where a spot in the

This season has not lived up to the lofty standards of No. 24 Clemson, but coach Dabo Swinney and his Tigers have a chance to settle a score when they visit South Carolina on Saturday night in Columbia, S.C. Clemson (7-4) resides in seventh place with a 4-4 record in Atlantic Coast Conference play. The four-loss season is the Tigers’ first since 2011.

The stakes were plenty high for Liberty. Now they’re even bigger. The 25th-ranked Flames crashed the College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday and take an undefeated record into Saturday’s matchup at UTEP in El Paso, Texas. “For us, our challenge is can we continue to stay hungry and not look ahead and stay in the moment?” Liberty coach Jamey Chadwell said. “That’s always the challenge when you get late in the season and you do
