(AP) Ohio State stayed atop the College Football Playoff rankings for the second straight week on Tuesday night, while Indiana remained at No. 2 despite barely squeaking out a victory last week, while third-ranked Texas A&M coasted.

Alabama and Georgia rounded out the same top five as in last week’s season-opening rankings.

Texas Tech jumped two spots to No. 6, moving one notch ahead of Mississippi, which dropped to 7 despite a romp over Citadel in a nonconference game.

The most significant shifts came lower in the rankings, where Miami moved up three spots to No. 15 and vaulted over Georgia Tech to claim the Atlantic Coast Conference’s spot in the 12-team bracket. And South Florida earned the No. 24 ranking, which puts it in the 12th and final spot in the Week 2 projected bracket.

At No. 8 was Oregon, followed by Notre Dame and Texas.

No. 11 Oklahoma and No. 12 BYU would be the first two teams out in this week’s bracket, due to the automatic spots awarded to the ACC (Miami) and the highest-ranked Group of 5 team (South Florida).

The final bracket comes out Dec. 7, with the 12-team playoff beginning Dec. 19 and closing a month later with the title game.
