As Week 12 of the college football season approaches, the College Football Playoff picture is beginning to take shape, with five undefeated teams remaining atop the latest CFP rankings.
One of those undefeated teams, No. 3 Michigan, is on a roll, fresh off an impressive 24-15 with over No. 12 Penn State.

The Wolverines are set to take on Maryland at Noon ET on Saturday (on FOX and the FOX Sports App). The “Big Noon Kickoff” crew will head to College Park for all the pregame action, with coverage beginning at 10 a.m. ET.
Week 12 continues with a Pac-12 showdown between No. 22 Utah and No. 17 Arizona at 2:30 p.m. ET. The Wildcats are looking for their first win against the Utes since 2015.
