The fifth of six weekly rankings have been released by the College Football Playoff Committee. The final rankings will be released on Selection Sunday, December 3 at Noon eastern time.
The past weekend saw the number of undefeated teams decrease from six to five with Ohio State's loss to Michigan and the Buckeyes paid a hefty price, tumbling four spots from 2nd to 6th. The remaining four unbeatens from 'Autonomy' conferences are ranked 1st through 4th with Georgia leading the way, followed by Michigan, Washington and Florida State. A 1-loss Oregon team is ranked 5th.
Texas is 7th and Alabama 8th.
The fifth undefeated program, Liberty, is ranked 24th behind a 1-loss Tulane at 22nd. That's important because it means the Green Wave remain the highest-ranked team among the "non-Autonomy" conferences which refers to the American, CUSA, MAC, MWC and Sun Belt, as well as 3 of the 4 independents - Army, UConn and UMass. Though Notre Dame is also an independent, it is considered part of the Autonomy conferences (ACC, B1G, Big 12, PAC-12 and SEC).
