Tuesday Night brought the 4th College Football Playoff rankings of the season as the committee met after the action in Week 13. The weekend as a whole was uneventful as there were only two games between Top 25 opponents, while Georgia Tech Vs Pitt reshaped the race for the ACC Championship Game.
The committee's latest set of rankings is important as most teams will play their final game before Selection Sunday this weekend giving every team an idea of what they need to do to make the Playoff this weekend.
