The latest 2026-27 College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday and feature several changes among the top teams.
Miami fell from No. 1 to No. 7 after a 31-27 loss to Notre Dame on Saturday, while the Fighting Irish fell from No. 11 to No. 5 as a result.
Georgia is the new No. 1 team in the CFP rankings, as the Bulldogs made a statement with a lopsided 42-7 win over No. 19 Ole Miss on Saturday.
As the 2026 regular season begins to wind down, several schools will look to make a case for themselves as one of the 12 playoff teams in Week 11.
Ohio State sits at No. 20 in Tuesday’s CFP rankings as the team prepares to take on Northwestern. The Buckeyes have lost two straight games since starting quarterback Julian Sayin injured his throwing arm, owning a 6-3 overall record.
While head coach Ryan Day’s team can still earn a spot in the CFP with three straight wins to close out the regular season, a loss to Northwestern could end Ohio State’s playoff bid entirely.
LSU fell from 14th to 21st after suffering a 31-13 loss to Alabama on Saturday, but the Tigers have a chance to get back into the playoff conversation if they can defeat No. 6 Texas, No. 8 Tennessee and Arkansas to finish the season.
A loss to the Longhorns in Week 11 would drop head coach Lane Kiffin’s team to 6-4 and effectively end their CFP hopes.
Another school in danger of falling out of the playoffs is No. 10 BYU, as the Cougars have lost two of their last three games after a 6-0 start to the season.
BYU has an opportunity to stay in contention for a CFP berth as well as the Big 12 title by beating a Baylor team that owns a 6-3 record in Week 11. The Cougars’ playoff prospects, however, will become extremely murky with another loss.
