The fourth edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings was released Tuesday night, and there was an a shake up at the top with Ohio State jumping LSU despite both teams winning on Saturday. The Buckeyes, of course, beat a top-10 Penn State team 28-17, while LSU whipped Arkansas 56-20. With both programs now sporting similar resumes, the CFP Selection Committee clearly decided that OSU's was slightly better.
The rest of the top five remained unchanged with Clemson, Georgia and Alabama following in the same 3-5 order they have been for the last two weeks.
The next-biggest adjustment came at the No. 6 spot, which saw Utah replace Oregon after the Ducks fell 31-28 to Arizona State on Saturday. That Oregon loss not only knocks it out of CFP consideration, it drops the quality of a potential Utah win as the teams prepare to meet in the Pac-12 Championship Game.
Oklahoma moved up to No. 7 following another close victory -- this time over TCU -- and also appears to be in striking distance considering it has Bedlam against Oklahoma State and then a Big 12 Championship Game meeting with Baylor still ahead. Shockingly, the Bears moved up five spots despite their win on Saturday coming against a now-unranked Texas team.
Penn State at No. 10 stayed ahead of Florida at No. 11 despite the Nittany Lions' loss Saturday, making them the top-ranked two-loss team in the nation. The Gators' resume is similar, but with the Buckeyes in the No. 1 spot, perhaps the committee chose to leave PSU ahead of UF this week.
Let's take a look at the entire CFP Rankings top 25. Additional analysis will be available shortly.
