   Week Two Rankings

 This will be updated as rankings are revealed weekly on Tuesday nights.
 Both the SEC and Big Ten placed four teams in the projected Week 2 bracket.

Three teams ranked in the top 13 lost over the weekend. Miami to Georgia Tech, LSU to Alabama and Georgia to Ole Miss all lost and would be out of the Playoffs if the season was completed. Georgia would be excluded from the playoffs despite being in the top 12 to a conference champion, Boise State because of the tie breaker rule.
