The second week of college football playoff rankings have been released.

The first release of the college football playoff rankings was released last week. The Georgia Bulldogs came in at No. 5, so they are sitting comfortably with three games left in the season. Several games occurred this weekend with playoff implications, but only one team inside of the top 12 took a loss, and it was BYU against Texas Tech, both of which were ranked inside of the top 12.

That likely means there will were only be maybe one new face move inside of the top 12, however, we could see some shake up in where the teams are ranked this week. Texas A&M picked up a ranked win over the Missouri Tigers and Oregon picked up a ranked win over Iowa.

It is worth noting that there has been shake up in regards to how the college football playoff will operate this season. Last year, the highest-ranked conference champions were awarded the top four seeds and first-round byes. This year, it will be the highest ranked four teams that receive first-round byes. Outside of that, it will operate the same way it did last season. The first round will be played at the higher ranked team's home stadium and from there on out, the games will be played at neutral sites.

This year, the national title game will be played in Miami, Florida, on January 19th. The first set of games of the playoff will be played on Dec. 19th, the second round will begin on Dec. 31st and the semifinals will be played on Jan. 8th and 9th.

With that said, here is how the second week of college football playoff rankings looked.

The Georgia Bulldogs face off against the Texas Longhorns this weekend. A major matchup as it is Georgia's final conference game of the season and Texas can't afford to take another loss this season if they want to continue their push for a playoff spot. A win for Georgia would likely secure their spot in the playoff as they would have one loss with games remaining against Charlotte and Georgia Tech to close the season.
