ESPN 2023 College Football Power Rankings after Week 13 - ESPN

Rivalry Week, or at least the Saturday portion of it, lived up to its billing and then some. Ohio State-Michigan. Alabama-Auburn. Washington State-Washington. Heart-stoppers all.

Michigan managed to pull off its third straight win against the Buckeyes in a game that came down to the final minute. Alabama, down by four, got the touchdown it needed on a fourth-and-goal from the 31 with less than a minute left to crush Auburn's spirit. Washington, elevated to the No. 4 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings this week, kicked a field goal as time ran out to beat Washington State.

Florida-Florida State provided its own drama, as the Seminoles trailed after three quarters and benefited from a late personal foul for a 24-15 win. Georgia Tech was within a touchdown of top-ranked Georgia with two minutes remaining, before the Bulldogs were able to run out the clock in a 31-23 victory.

And they all get to play again in their conference championship games. Here's how those rivalry matchups, and the rest of the weekend slate, affected this week's Power Rankings.

Two-time defending national champion Georgia completed an unbeaten regular season for the third straight year with a victory over Georgia Tech on Saturday in Atlanta. In doing so, the Dawgs won their 29th straight game, breaking the SEC record for consecutive victories. Alabama won 28 in a row from 1978 to 1980 and 1991 to 1993. Georgia (12-0, 8-0 in the SEC) will next face Alabama in the SEC title game in Atlanta. Kendall Milton rushed for a career-high 156 yards, and Georgia won for the 19th time in the past 22 meetings of the series. — Chris Low
