Tuesday Night brought the 2nd to last College Football Playoff rankings of the season as the committee will meet once more on Selection Sunday, where the official Playoff bracket will be set. Rivalry Weekend is typically chaotic, but this weekend's games didn't give us a ton of meaningful results, as Texas handing Texas A&M their first loss shook the rankings.
The committee's latest set of rankings is arguably the important aside from Selection Sunday, as most teams have already played their final game, which lets them know if they truly have a chance of making the Playoff.
Who's in the College Football Playoff after the latest CFP Rankings?
In the latest College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings following the end of the regular season, Ohio State, Indiana, Georgia, Texas Tech, Ole Miss, Oregon, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Alabama, Notre Dame, Virginia, and Tulane all would be in the College Football Playoff if the season ended today. The 11th-ranked BYU Cougars would be left out of the field as the Tulane Green Wave earned the Group of 5 bid, jumping into the Top 25, while a bid will go to one of the ACC teams or another G5 team that's ranked behind BYU.
