The fourth College Football Playoff Rankings of the 2021 season have been released by the selection committee, which features several moves in the top ten.
The Georgia Bulldogs remain the top-ranked team, while the Ohio State Buckeyes jumped the Alabama Crimson Tide to take over the second spot. Alabama dropped one spot to third and the Cincinnati Bearcats moved up a spot to claim the No. 4 position.
Three more teams moved closer to the top four — Michigan is fifth (up from No. 6), Notre Dame is sixth (up from No. 8), and Oklahoma State is seventh (up from No. 9). The Baylor Bears (8), Ole Miss Rebels (9), and Oklahoma Sooners (10) round out the top ten.
Fourth-ranked Cincinnati remains the highest ranked team from a Group of Five conference. The BYU Cougars, a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Independent, are the next highest non-power team at No. 13.
The Mississippi State Bulldogs fell out of the College Football Playoff Rankings even though they defeated Tennessee State on Saturday, 55-10.
