Georgia takes over No. 1 in the second College Football Playoff rankings as Miami tumbles to seventh
Georgia jumped to No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings Tuesday. Utah, Alabama, UCLA and Notre Dame round out the top five. Miami fell to seventh.

There is a new No. 1 in college football.
Georgia moved to the top of the College Football Playoff rankings on Tuesday night. The selection committee released its second top 25 of the season. The Bulldogs jumped one spot after an impressive road win at Ole Miss.
It is Georgia's 16th week at No. 1 in the playoff era. Only Alabama has spent more weeks on top.
Two unbeatens left
Utah is No. 2 after a big win over rival BYU. It is the highest ranking the Utes have ever had from the committee.
Alabama is third at 7-2 after a win at LSU. No two-loss team had ever been in the top four this early in the season.
UCLA climbed four spots to No. 4 after a win at Minnesota. Utah and UCLA are the last two unbeaten teams in major college football.
Notre Dame soars and Miami slides
Notre Dame made the biggest jump in the top 10. The Fighting Irish went from No. 11 to No. 5 after beating Miami, which had been No. 1. No team had ever leaped from outside the top 10 into the top five in one week.
Miami dropped six spots to No. 7, one place behind Texas. Committee chair Hunter Yurachek said Notre Dame finally had the signature win it was missing.
Tennessee rose five spots to No. 8 after a blowout of Kentucky. Indiana fell five spots to No. 9 even though it did not play. BYU rounds out the top 10.
Big falls for Ohio State and LSU
Ohio State dropped eight spots to No. 20. That is the lowest the Buckeyes have ever been ranked by the committee. Ole Miss fell nine spots to No. 19 and LSU slid seven places to No. 21.
Houston is No. 14, its best ranking ever. Oklahoma State is back in the top 25 at No. 25 for the first time since 2023. Boise State is still the top team from outside the power conferences at No. 24.
If the season ended today
The first round would be Boise State at Notre Dame, Kentucky at Texas, BYU at Miami and Indiana at Tennessee. Georgia, Utah, Alabama and UCLA would get first-round byes.
The committee meets again next week. The third rankings come out Tuesday, Nov. 17, at about 8 p.m. Central.
