The College Football Playoff selection committee didn't penalize Ole Miss because of former coach Lane Kiffin's stunning departure to LSU in its penultimate rankings Tuesday. In fact, the committee moved the Rebels up one spot to sixth in the rankings after their 38-19 victory at rival Mississippi State in last week's Egg Bowl.

This week’s College Football Playoff committee Top 25 is set. Ohio State once again is No. 1, followed by Indiana, Georgia and Texas Tech. If the brackets were set by tonight’s rankings, these would be the first-round pairings.

The College Football Playoff committee had two questions to answer. How far would Texas A&M fall and where would Ole Miss land without Lane Kiffin?

The newest edition of the CFP rankings are out. Committee chairman Hunter Yurachek breaks down what separates Georgia, Texas Tech football teams.

After a devastating loss to Texas in the Lone Star Showdown, Texas A&M dropped to No. 7 in the latest CFP rankings.

The development could have massive consequences for the ACC if unranked Duke wins the conference championship. The CFP selection process doesn’t guarantee a berth for the ACC winner. The five automatic bids are assigned to the highest-ranked conference champions. If No. 17 Virginia wins the ACC, the Cavaliers will qualify.

The Hoosiers will be part of a special showdown Saturday, but here's where things stand and who IU might play if rankings stay the same.

With just conference championship week remaining, the College Football Playoff committee released its second to last playoff rankings list before the final one that will come on Sunday, where the official 12-team bracket will be set and the rest of the bowl game schedule will be released throughout the day.

The Big 12 championship game is a rematch of 11-1 teams, yet likely the only way both of them get into the College Football Playoff is if No. 11 BYU beats No. 5 Texas Tech this time. Texas Tech appears to be a lock for the 12-team playoff no matter what happens Saturday.
