For The Win is tracking the College Football Playoff rankings all season long. We’ll have updated title odds and notes on each contender every Tuesday the rankings are revealed. The first, second and third rankings can be found here.
Rivalry Week is upon the college football world and some playoff-hopefuls will have an easier time than others as the CFP committee’s latest rankings made clear.
No. 1 Georgia gets to face a 5-6 Georgia Tech team at Sanford Stadium—though Tech is coming off its best win of the season after defeating No. 13 UNC, 21-17, last week.
No. 4 TCU hosts a similarly lowly Iowa State team.
Meanwhile, No. 2 Ohio State hosts No. 3 Michigan to decide which team will play in the Big Ten Championship and essentially lock up a playoff spot. That game may very well decide who wins the Heisman Trophy as well.
And the drama rounds out with No. 6 USC facing No. 15 Notre Dame while No. 5 LSU get Texas A&M.
The College Football Playoff Committee just set the table for the home stretch of the postseason run. Let’s check out the full rankings.
