The fourth College Football Playoff Rankings of the 2024 season have been released by the selection committee, which features a shakeup in the bottom half of the top ten.
Oregon leads the rankings again this week, and is followed by (2) Ohio State, (3) Texas, (4) and Penn State. Notre Dame has moved up to No. 5 following Indiana’s loss to Ohio State over the weekend, which dropped the Hoosiers down to the No. 10 spot.
Also moving up the rankings this week is Miami to No. 6, Georgia to No. 7, Tennessee to No. 8, and SMU to No. 9.
No. 11 Boise State, No. 17 Tulane, and No. 22 UNLV are currently the only ranked teams outside the power conferences. Check out the full CFP Top 25 rankings below.

Using the Mason-Dixon format:

Byes: Texas, Miami

While it is important that a G5 champion be included, there will be seasons where one of the P4 conferences just doesn’t have any CFP-worthy teams under my format, like the Big 12 this year.
