Unveiling the College Football Playoff Rankings: Schedule and Time for the Fourth CFP Top 25
As anticipation builds with less than two weeks remaining until the revelation of the final four-team College Football Playoff field, the weekly rankings from the playoff selection committee take on added significance.
Georgia Secures the Top Spot
In a pivotal development last Tuesday, Georgia ascended to the top spot in the playoff rankings after dominating then-No. 9 Ole Miss with a 35-point victory. The Bulldogs, maintaining their No. 1 position in the US LBM Coaches Poll throughout the 2023 college football season, sustained their momentum with a commanding 38-10 win against then-No. 18 Tennessee. Coach Kirby Smart’s team now boasts three top-20 victories in as many weeks, setting the stage for a potential sustained lead in the upcoming rankings release.
Ohio State’s Slip and Alabama’s Challenge
Ohio State, initially holding the top rank in the first two sets of rankings, yielded the coveted position to Georgia last Tuesday. On the other hand, Alabama, the sole remaining SEC team with less than two losses, faces an uphill climb from its current No. 8 spot. Despite the Crimson Tide’s strong performance, every team above them secured victories last week, with Texas defeating Alabama 34-24 in Tuscaloosa in Week 2. Alabama’s playoff aspirations hinge largely on defeating Georgia in the SEC championship game on Dec. 2, assuming a victory against Auburn in the Iron Bowl this week.
