Just like America’s LBM Coaches Poll, there’s a new No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings. And unsurprisingly, it’s the same team at the top of both.
Georgia moves into first place in the CFP committee rankings after an impressive road win at Mississippi. The Bulldogs move up one spot to succeed previous No. 1 Miami, which lost at Notre Dame to leave just two undefeated in the Bowl Subdivision.
Utah, one of those undefeated, sits in second place after a major victory over rival Brigham Young. UCLA is the other undefeated team. After a solid win at Minnesota, the Bruins moved up four spots to No. 4
Between Utah and UCLA is Alabama, which was No. 5 and eight spots ahead of Tennessee despite losing to the Volunteers. The Crimson Tide, however, validated their position with an impressive victory at LSU.
With its big win, Notre Dame earned a major jump of six spots to No. 5 Miami, while it fell to No. 7, one spot behind Texas. Tennessee jumped five to No. 8 after a blowout loss to Kentucky. Indiana didn’t play in Week 10 but fell five spots to No. 9. Brigham Young rounds out the top 10.
USA TODAY Sports will provide live reaction to Tuesday night’s College Football Playoff rankings reveal. Watch Blake Toppmeyer and John Brice for their snapshot analysis of the second CFP top 25.
Among the teams that suffered major drops, Ohio State fell eight spots to No. 20, its lowest position since the College Football Playoff rankings began in 2014. Mississippi fell nine spots to No. 19 and LSU dropped seven spots to No. 21, seriously putting their hopes in jeopardy.
No. 24 Boise State continues to lead the Group of Six conference teams. The highest-ranked champion in these six leagues will be guaranteed a spot in the playoffs.
All of these scenarios and more will be dissected and brought together in multiple ways in the second series of the CFP Top 25 rankings. Follow live updates from the top 25 brackets, plus reactions and analysis:
