Ohio State tumbled out of the top five after it lost at home to Michigan on Saturday.
The Buckeyes fell five spots to No. 7 after the 13-10 loss to their rivals. Oregon, the lone undefeated team in college football, stayed at No. 1 ahead of Texas, Penn State, Notre Dame and Georgia.
Texas beat Texas A&M in the first game between the two schools since 2011. Penn State will play Oregon for the Big Ten title after beating Maryland. Notre Dame beat USC to effectively clinch a spot in the College Football Playoff and Georgia needed eight overtimes to take down Georgia Tech, 44-42, on Friday night.
Tennessee jumped ahead of Ohio State at No. 6 and the Buckeyes are followed by SMU, Indiana and Boise State to round out the top 10.
Miami fell to No. 14 after losing 42-38 to Syracuse on Saturday. The Hurricanes dropped six spots and find themselves behind two three-loss teams in the rankings.
We’re not sure how much you can take from that for Tuesday night’s penultimate College Football Playoff rankings, however. The AP poll has undervalued Miami compared to the CFP committee. The Hurricanes were No. 8 in the AP poll a week ago and two spots lower than they were in the CFP rankings. It’s still possible — and maybe even likely — that Miami is ahead of both Alabama and South Carolina on Tuesday night.
