Former Georgia Bulldog defensive end David Pollack named his top six college football teams ahead of Week 12.
Pollack is not working with ESPN’s “College GameDay” this season. Countless Georgia fans aren’t disappointed to not see Pollack every Saturday morning. Georgia fans and college football fans miss Pollack’s valuable insights and ability to analyze the games without dishing out hot takes.
Thankfully, Pollack is still sharing his opinions on college football.
Pollack’s rankings differ slightly from the latest with the latest College Football Playoff rankings, which ranked Georgia as the No. 1 team in the nation. Pollack announced his top six rankings prior to an alright Week 12 schedule. Nov. 18 features games including Washington at Oregon State, Michigan at Maryland, Louisville at Miami, and Georgia at Tennessee.
Who are Pollack’s top six college football teams? Where does he rank the Georgia Bulldogs before the Tennessee game?

College Football Playoff ranking: No. 6
Week 12: Oregon at Arizona State (4:00 p.m. ET/all noted times are ET)
Quarterback Bo Nix and Oregon hit the road to play at Arizona State in Week 12. The Ducks remain the top-ranked one-loss team according to College Football Playoff committee and David Pollack. Oregon may have a chance to avenge its loss to Washington in the Pac-12 championship.
5. Michigan Wolverines
Record: 10-0
College Football Playoff ranking: No. 3
Week 12: Michigan at Maryland (noon)
Michigan’s win over Penn State did not impress David Pollack enough to move them into his top four. He liked that the Wolverines could run on a good defense like Penn State. The Wolverines are looking to continue winning in Week 12 against Maryland before facing Ohio State.

College Football Playoff ranking: No. 4
Week 12: North Alabama at Florida State (6:30 p.m.)
