Alabama is fresh off a dominate 38-7 road victory over Mississippi State, which is probably why the College Football Playoff committee left them at No. 5 in the latest rankings.

On Tuesday night, it was revealed that Alabama had not dropped despite the news that star quarterback Tua Tagovailoa had been lost for the season due to a hip injury.

Here is how the rankings check out:

There had been some speculation that a team like Oregon, who has impressed over the last few weeks, could jump the Crimson Tide for that No. 5 spot, but it looks like the committee isn’t ready to count them out.

Surprisingly, the Oklahoma Sooners didn’t make a move up after making an epic 28-3 comeback against Baylor, who is now ranked No. 14 after the loss.

Auburn, who will be Alabama’s last opponent of the regular season a week from Saturday, only dropped a couple of spots to No. 15 after Georgia handed the Tigers their third loss of the season.

Things are still wide open in the race for who makes the College Football Playoff, and from the looks of things, the Crimson Tide are still in the mix.
