Georgia Takes Top Spot in Second CFP Rankings

Georgia claimed the top position in the second College Football Playoff rankings, released November 10. Notre Dame climbed six spots to No. 5 after defeating Miami last weekend, placing two positions ahead of the Hurricanes.

UCLA, still undefeated, rose four places to No. 4. Indiana dropped five positions to No. 9, although it did not play last weekend.

Joining them in the top 12 were Utah at No. 2, Alabama at No. 3, Texas at No. 6, Tennessee at No. 8, BYU at No. 10, Kentucky at No. 11 and Texas Tech at No. 12. Texas Tech would be the first team outside the 12-team playoff field, while No. 24 Boise State would enter as the highest-ranked Group of Six team.

Three more rankings announcements are scheduled before the playoff bracket is set on December 6, the day after the final conference championship games. The playoff expands to 24 teams next season.
