CFP Rankings Put Georgia First as Utah and UCLA Reach New Highs - FINCHANNEL
Miami's loss to Notre Dame and Alabama's strength of schedule influenced the committee's decision to reshuffle the rankings this week.
- On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the College Football Playoff committee ranked Georgia No. 1 and Utah No. 2 in the second weekly release of the 2026 season, reshaping the race for first-round byes.
- Miami's loss to Notre Dame, along with Indiana's drop following an open week, fueled significant movement; the committee reshaped the top 12, leaving Texas Tech outside the projected playoff field.
- Committee chair Hunter Yurachek noted members build a fresh top 25 each week using performance data and schedule strength. Yurachek explained Alabama's rise to No. 3 resulted from three wins against top-25 opponents.
- Current projections place Boise State at Notre Dame, Kentucky at Texas, BYU at Miami, and Indiana at Tennessee for the first round. These matchups illustrate the present order rather than final postseason games.
- The organization approved expansion to 24 teams beginning with the 2027-28 season, though the current 12-team field remains unchanged. The next rankings release is scheduled for November 17 on ESPN.
