The latest College Football Playoff rankings were unveiled on Tuesday night, and it helps paint a pretty good picture of what the 12-team playoff field might look like next week when it is officially announced.
The big change this week involved the Ohio State Buckeyes dropping from No. 2 down to No. 6 after its stunning loss to Michigan.
Oregon remains at No. 1, while Texas moves up to No. 2 and Penn State moves up to No. 3.
Notre Dame (No. 4) and Georgia (No. 5) round out the top-five.
Along with that, the Miami Hurricanes (No. 12) would be the first team out in this week’s rankings after losing two of its past three games, including last week’s game at Syracuse.
Alabama, despite having three losses, is back into the field with a No. 11 ranking.
Oregon, Texas, Boise State and SMU would have the bye weeks by being the four highest ranked conference champions, while Penn State, Ohio State, Georgia and Notre Dame would host first-round playoff games.
Here is a look at the complete top-25 rankings and what the playoff field would look like this week.
