College football polls: Updated AP Top 25, Coaches Poll rankings for rivalry week 2023

The final week of the college football regular season has arrived, and there is still so much at stake. Both spots in the Big 12 championship are open. The Big Ten East spot is still up for grabs. Washington’s opponent in the Pac-12 Championship is still undecided.

Saturday was relatively upset-free, with only No. 20 North Carolina falling to a lower-ranked or unranked team, which means there is unlikely to be much of a shake-up entering Rivalry Week.

That certainly doesn’t mean there won’t be any shake-up. No. 4 Florida State sustained what appeared to be a season-ending injury to quarterback Jordan Travis, while No. 5 Washington added yet another impressive win to its resume against Oregon State. No. 2 Michigan played a close game against Maryland, while No. 3 Ohio State demolished Minnesota in its final tune-up before The Game.

The final rankings will be the next step in setting up the best phase of the college football season: rivalry week. Here’s a look at how the rankings are shaping up in the final week of the regular season.
