CFP Rankings: New Leader Emerges, Upsets Rock Playoff Hopes
14 Nov
Summary
- Georgia is the new No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings.
- Indiana dropped five spots to No. 9 despite not playing.
- Colorado upset No. 14 Houston, impacting Big 12 playoff chances.
The latest College Football Playoff rankings have brought significant changes, with Georgia now occupying the top position. This shift occurred after Notre Dame secured a victory, leading to a six-spot fall for Miami. Notably, Indiana dropped from No. 4 to No. 9 despite having an off week, a move that has drawn considerable attention.
Several key matchups this past Friday also influenced the rankings. Undefeated UCLA, with Ty Dieffenbach stepping in at quarterback, maintained their perfect record by defeating Illinois. Meanwhile, Colorado delivered a major upset by overcoming No. 14 Houston, which could have implications for the Big 12's playoff aspirations.
Looking ahead to the upcoming weekend, several games are poised to further shape the playoff picture. No. 2 Utah faces a challenging Big 12 showdown against No. 23 Arizona. The highly anticipated Texas-LSU game will also be crucial for the SEC. The next CFP rankings are scheduled for release on Tuesday, November 17, at 9 p.m. ET.
