Week 12 has come and gone and congratulations to the Utah Utes, for emphatically pointing out to the College Football Playoff Committee, that Oregon was a total fraud at the No.3 spot in the rankings. It looks like Ohio State is hitting on all cylinders, Cincinnati is getting closer to a playoff spot, and Alabama has defense problems. This is the final week of the regular season and, I for one, am feeling more than a little sad, that it is almost over. Going into week 13, we still have three undefeated teams left and a lot of mess to straighten out. Let’s look at the updated Dudes Who Bet Sports Top-25 and see what’s ahead of us this week.
NO.1 GEORGIA 11-0: The only worry the Bulldogs have is trying to stay focused as it should be another romp. This Week: at Georgia Tech
NO.2 ALABAMA 10-1: They got a major scare from Arkansas and their defense continues to be a concern. This Week: at Auburn
