The second edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings was released Tuesday night, and there was a bit of a shakeup at the top, which was to be expected after Alabama's win over previous No. 2 LSU.
Clemson remained in the top spot following a win over Florida State.
Alabama jumped over Ohio State to take the spot previously held by LSU after pounding the Tigers this past weekend. The loss to Ole Miss aside, few teams have played a better schedule than Alabama.
Ohio State remained third after a pedestrian win over Minnesota this week, while Notre Dame slid up one spot to No. 4 after winning at Pittsburgh.
The CFP Selection Committee had something of an epiphany in the last week with Iowa jumping over Baylor; the Hawkeyes are now up to No. 5, while the Bears remain in the sixth spot. This must be a nod to the strength of Iowa's schedule.
Oklahoma State, which pounded TCU last week to give the Cowboys by far the best win of any team in the Big 12 so far, is still behind the Bears. In fact, OSU is still behind Stanford. The Cardinal are seventh, the Cowboys eighth.
