College Football Playoff Rankings, Week 3, are out

What teams sit in the top 12 of the third week of CFP rankings?

It was a good day for Oregon on Tuesday. The Ducks learned they will be a part of the Big Ten Championship Game. They also remain No. 1 in the CFP Rankings.

The Big Ten weighed everything and recognized no matter what happens in the conference through the rest of the regular season, the Ducks will be one of the top two teams.

A school they could find themselves playing in a rematch in the Big Ten championship, Ohio State, remains No. 2.

The only non-Big Ten school in the top five is No. 3 Texas. Behind the Longhorns are Penn State and Indiana. The Hoosiers put their undefeated record on the line Saturday at Ohio State.

Sixth is Notre Dame, which has been rolling and only has a  loss to Northern Illinois. Alabama is seven, Miami from the ACC is eighth, followed by two more SEC schools, Ole Miss and Georgia.

The 11th and 12th slots are filled by Tennessee and Boise State. The Broncos could wind up with a first-round bye depending on how things play out through the remainder of the regular season.

Another key game this week has Notre (No. 6) playing Army (No. 19) at Yankee Stadium.

College Football Playoff Rankings, Version Two, dominated by Big Ten

How did the Miami and Georgia losses impact the CFP rankings in their second release?

Four of the top five teams in the second release of College Football Playoff Rankings come from the Big Ten.

Oregon and Ohio State lead the way. Then comes Texas of the SEC. After the Longhorns are Penn State and undefeated Indiana, both from the Big Ten.

Another undefeated team sits at six with BYU earning that spot.

Seven through 10 are Tennessee, which plays Georgia this week, Notre Dame, Miami and Alabama.

Another two SEC teams sit in the 11th and 12th slots, Mississippi and Georgia.

However, the 13th team, Boise State, would slot in as the 12th seed because it would be the fifth conference champion if it goes on to win the Mountain West and is the highest conference champion outside the big four.

That would mean, as of now, Georgia, which has the toughest schedule in the country, would be on the outside of the playoffs.
