College Football Playoff Rankings: LSU, USC take advantage of Oregon's loss

The third edition of the College Football Playoff rankings have been revealed, and not surprisingly, there was not a lot of change at the top of the list.

The top five all remained the same — No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Michigan and No. 4 TCU, all of whom are undefeated, plus one-loss Tennessee at No. 5.

After that things got interesting, as two Pac-12 teams that had been in the top 12 — Oregon and UCLA — dropped after both were upset at home. Oregon dropped from No. 6 to No. 12, with LSU (No. 6), USC (No. 7), Alabama (No. 8) and Clemson (No. 9) each moving up a spot. The Bruins went from No. 12 to No. 16.

RJ Young reacted to the rankings with a special live edition of his podcast, “The Number One College Football Show,” which you can watch right here:
