Moments ago, the College Football Playoff Selection Committee released its third set of rankings for the year-end College Football Playoff. Heading into the night several questions loomed, including just how far Alabama would fall after last weekend’s loss to Oklahoma, just how thing the road was for Texas after their loss to Georgia, and what Group of 5 team would be in line for a spot if the playoffs began this weekend.
We now have our answers.
Alabama slid six spots down to No. 10 after their loss to the Sooners, while the Longhorns dropped all the way to No. 17, putting their College Playoff future in serious doubt. Texas needs to run the table — including a win over Texas A&M in their regular season finale — and perhaps get some help to get in.
Georgia moved up to No. 4 after their win over Texas, and Alabama’s loss.
At the back end of the Top 25, Tulane popped into the rankings at No. 24, and the Green Wave are certainly in the mix for the Group of 5 spot.
