The Oregon Ducks continue to dominate the College Football Playoff rankings, holding the top spot for the third consecutive week. Their undefeated record and recent victory against Wisconsin Badgers helped them secure this position. The latest rankings also saw Georgia moving up to No. 10 after a win against Tennessee, who dropped to No. 11. The biggest upset of the weekend came from Kansas Jayhawks, defeating BYU, causing BYU to drop to No. 14.
The controversy surrounding the rankings includes criticism towards the undefeated Indiana Hoosiers for not facing a ranked opponent yet, a criticism that may change as they face Ohio State this weekend. The SEC has four teams in the top 12, with Texas leading the conference. The final week matchup between Texas and Texas A&M could be pivotal for the College Football Playoff race.
With a few weeks left before the Playoff Selection Committee makes its decisions, the top five teams of Oregon, Ohio State, Texas, Penn State, and Indiana are expected to remain unchanged. Alabama and Notre Dame have benefitted from recent upsets as they climb the rankings. The Oregon Ducks are currently on a bye week as they prepare to face Washington in their next game.
The full College Football Playoff top-25 rankings include a mix of powerhouse teams and surprising upsets, setting the stage for an exciting end to the season. Fans can look forward to intense matchups in the coming weeks as teams vie for a spot in the postseason.
