College Football Playoff picks after Week 12

Escape was the topic on Saturday.

College football’s last four undefeated teams each completed a Test and all passed en route to the final week of the regular season.

It took last-minute field goals for TCU and Michigan to win close games against Baylor (29-28) and Illinois (19-17), respectively.

Ohio State was trailing at halftime against Maryland, but a blocked punt early in the third quarter and a scoop-and-score in the final 10 seconds turned the game just enough for a 43-30 win before next week’s showdown against the Wolverines .

Georgia was never behind in Kentucky, but the Bulldogs almost found themselves in a one-score game with less than 5 minutes remaining before Kentucky missed a field goal attempt. Georgia walked away with a 16-6 win.

USC also jumped onto our list with a very entertaining 48-45 win over UCLA in the late window.

With that in mind, here’s how ESPN’s college football reporters view the current playoff picture.
