Georgia takes over the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday.
The Bulldogs ascended to the top ranking following a victory against Ole Miss in Oxford. They replaced Miami after the Hurricanes lost to Notre Dame in Week 10. Georgia sits at 8-1 overall and 6-1 in the SEC with three regular-season games remaining.
Utah and UCLA Rise to Top
Utah moved into the No. 2 spot with a 9-0 record after defeating rival BYU in the Holy War. Morgan Scalley leads the Utes in his first season following Kyle Whittingham’s departure.
Notre Dame earned a lot of respect from the committee, a dominant team with a marquee win over Miami, and they looked like the Notre Dame team that should be ranked No. 5.
Alabama jumped to No. 3 following its win over LSU. Undefeated UCLA climbed to No. 4 in the second release of the rankings.
Notre Dame Surges Past Miami
Notre Dame jumped six spots to No. 5 after defeating previously top-ranked Miami in South Bend.
Miami dropped to No. 7 following the loss, while Indiana fell five spots to No. 9 due to their strength of schedule.
Ohio State Falls to Oregon
Ohio State fell in the rankings after a loss to Oregon. That is two losses in a row for the Buckeyes. Oregon moved up with the victory.
Boise State ranked at No. 24 as the projected Group of Six representative holding an automatic bid position if the selection concluded today.
