Rather than having one team separate themselves from the rest, as usually happens as the season wears on, the race at the top of the standings is just getting tighter every week. This week, it couldn't get any tighter, as Clemson and Alabama both tie for the top spot in our analysis. Meanwhile, still undefeated Iowa actually dropped to 11th, after beating now-#52 Nebraska 28-20, making this week's Big Ten championship game between them and #8 Michigan State an interesting matchup, considering that #3 Ohio State still shows as the team with the best season in the conference, despite being locked out of the conference title game, because they lost the head-to-head game, and therefore the tiebreaker, to the Spartans. Michigan State has got to be kicking themselves for that one-point loss to Nebraska (who is not even bowl eligible).

2015 College Football Rankings - Week 12
After a loss by Ohio State and a game that was far closer than it ought to have been for Notre Dame, there are two new teams in the top four this week. Baylor is back in it, after a very good win over previously unbeaten Oklahoma State, and Navy comes in at number four, having blown out most of the teams they have played this year. The Navy-Notre Dame comparison is especially intriguing, because Notre Dame beat Navy head-to-head, and you would expect that if Navy was to be higher ranked, it would be because Notre Dame has a bad loss or two, but the Fighting Irish have only lost one game, on the road to undefeated Clemson, which cannot be classified as a bad loss. Instead, our analysis shows that Navy's wins are that much better than Notre Dame's other wins, which tend to be a little bit closer than they ought to be if the Fighting Irish want to be in the playoff. Notre Dame's upcoming game against #8 Stanford looms big if they want to justify a place in the top four again.
In another interesting side note, there are only two undefeated teams remaining - Clemson and the Iowa Hawkeyes that - because of their close games against a relatively week schedule - still come in at #9, even behind two-loss Stanford. Meanwhile, the PAC-12 South champion, the winner of next week's USC-UCLA rivalry game, is currently outside of the Top 25, meaning that it is possible, although certainly they would move up if they did beat Stanford in the PAC-12 Championship Game, for the PAC-12 representative to the Rose Bowl to not even be ranked.
Here are the complete rankings after Week 12:

2015 College Football Rankings - Week 8
It appears that staying undefeated is beginning to mean more. For the first time in a few weeks, all of the top four spots in our analysis are taken by teams with no losses. If you need any more proof, ask the Utah Utes, who were ranked in our top four last week but lost big to a very low ranked USC team this weekend. As a result, the Utes dropped all the way to #19, while the Trojans jumped way up to #22 (from #37 last week). Baylor did manage to maintain the top spot this week, but has less of a stranglehold on that position as LSU, which climbed to #2 from #5 last week, is closing the gap quickly after beating Western Kentucky 48-20. The Hilltoppers had only lost one game before facing the Tigers and had climbed all the way up to #26 in our rankings last week.

2015 College Football Rankings - Week 7
The instability of the 2015 season continued in week 7, as once again, Baylor jumped up to the top spot in our rankings, following Michigan's crazy last-second loss to Michigan State. Ohio State also made a jump up to the #2 spot after a convincing blowout victory over (currently) #39 Penn State. Michigan's loss was just as damaging to Utah, which dropped to the #4 spot, despite beating (currently) #51 Arizona State 34-18 - the 16-point victory not quite being enough to qualify as a "blowout", at least as defined in our analysis algorithm.
