NEMindex through Week 14 & Conference Championships

Utah won its first PAC 12 Championship ever! They put up 38 points against Oregon for the second time in 13 days. So now they're headed to their first Rose Bowl, and based on both my rankings and the Marble Game rankings we'll likely be facing Ohio State.  

Based on my rankings, the playoff should be: Michigan vs Cincinnati & Alabama vs Georgia.  Having Alabama and Georgia replay each other seems lame, so if it was up to me, I'd probably swap Georgia and Cincy.
