The Georgia Bulldogs are the No. 1 team in the latest edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings. Georgia controlled the previous top-ranked team in the CFP rankings, Tennessee, in Week 10. The Bulldogs (9-0) also have a dominant win over Oregon.
Week 10 featured a pair of underdogs defeating highly-ranked CFP foes. LSU upset Alabama and Notre Dame dominated Clemson. TCU, Michigan, Oregon, and Ohio State all continue to win. Michigan-Ohio State game, which is scheduled for the last week of the regular season, could be one of the best games in rivalry history.

#CFPRankings Nugget no one’s talkin about:
4 teams in Top 8 have coaches in 1st yr w programs (and Heupel’s in 2nd yr w Tenn)
Except Oregon, all were sub .500 previous season:
➤ Sonny Dykes (#4 TCU)
➤ Dan Lanning (#6 Oregon)
➤ Brian Kelly (#7 LSU)
➤ Lincoln Riley (#8 USC)— Bonnie Bernstein (@BonnieBernstein) November 9, 2022
More media reactions
Either way, if Tennessee wins out, it’s probably in the CFP.
And if TCU wins out, it’s probably in the CFP.

How a 12-team CFP would look now
Using the CFP’s rankings, here’s how an expanded playoff would look using the adopted format:
(1) 6 highest-ranked champs get AQs
(2) next 6 highest-ranked teams get At-Larges
(3) byes to top 4 conference champs
