College Football Playoff Rankings: Week 14
While the Georgia Bulldogs continued their dominance, the other top four teams from the prior rankings didn't shine in a similar light.
No. 2 Ohio State fell to No. 5 Michigan in a surprise loss in the Big House, while No. 3 Alabama took four overtimes to defeat an unranked Auburn squad on the road and No. 4 Cincinnati took awhile to get going in their eventual 35-13 win over East Carolina.
The top teams outside the top four all handled their business as Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Ole Miss emerged victorious.
As a result, the College Football Playoffs saw another week full of debate, as these rankings will establish what teams need to accomplish over conference championship weekend in order to receive one of four golden tickets.
