We have rivalry week coming up this weekend as the conference races start to come to a close and we get ready for postseason play and the Death to the BCS Playoffs. And that's where these rankings come in.
Just about everything is set in stone in terms of conferences, though the individual team races are still somewhat up for grabs.

We're pretty much locked in at this point, though I was a little surprised Conference USA jumped out of last place in average win totals. Then again, when you see it's the independents made up of a couple playoff contenders, a couple decent teams, and then bottom of the barrel, it makes sense. The SEC remains atop at almost everything and not far behind in what they trail in. The Big Ten and Big 12 aren't far behind; those three conferences will probably all get multiple teams in the Death to the BCS Playoffs.
Looking at individual teams, Georgia got nothing from Kirby Smart Is A Coward Week itself, those residual points from previously vanquished teams pushed their PP1 up to 61 points. Notre Dame and Ohio State are tied for second with 52 points apiece, followed by Michigan at 51 and Oklahoma State rounding out the top five with 50 PP1. Boise State remains atop in PP2 with 24.29 points, just ahead of 4-7 Texas. Notre Dame and Oklahoma State are fifth and sixth, respectively, in this ranking. Georgia obviously leads aPP with 61 points, followed by Notre Dame at 52, Ohio State with 50, Michigan with 49, and unbeaten Cincinnati rounds out the top five with 47 points.
I'll have a look at rivalry week shortly, followed by Week 13 Playoff Point numbers after the games are done. I'll probably try to do my annual automatic bids game post too to give a bit of a playoff picture.
