College Football Playoff Rankings Released: Ohio State, Georgia, Texas A&M Lead
The College Football Playoff committee released its latest rankings today, November 11, 2025, revealing the top teams vying for a spot in the expanded 12-team playoff field.
Ohio State remains at the top of the rankings, maintaining its undefeated record and strong position despite a challenging upcoming schedule that includes a rivalry game against Michigan on November 29th. The Buckeyes have cruised through their season, but the committee will be closely watching their performance against the Wolverines, a game that could significantly impact their playoff chances. Texas A&M holds the No. 3 spot, continuing what could be a historic season for the Aggies after a decisive win against Missouri.
Georgia secured the No. 2 ranking after a dominant victory over Mississippi State in Starkville, silencing any upset concerns. Meanwhile, Alabama sits at No. 4, facing a crucial test this Saturday against Oklahoma in Tuscaloosa; a win could significantly improve their playoff positioning. The rankings are particularly important this year as the playoff expands from four to twelve teams, increasing the number of opportunities for conference champions and at-large bids.
