COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Ohio State Buckeyes stayed in the No. 2 spot in the second week of the College Football Playoff rankings of the 2024 season.
Undefeated Oregon is in the top spot for the second straight week.
After Ohio State, the rest of the top 10 got a big shake-up after losses by Georgia and Miami.
Georgia's 28-10 loss to Ole Miss dropped the Bulldogs from third to all the way to 12th, but they would be the first team out because No. 13 Boise State of the Mountain West would receive an automatic bid and the final spot in the 12-team bracket as the fifth-best conference champion.
BYU was ranked sixth, but would receive a first-round bye as the Big 12's champion if it wins out.
Those byes go to the four highest-ranked conference champions, meaning Miami of the Atlantic Coast Conference would get a week off in this week's version of the bracket despite a loss to Georgia Tech that dropped the Hurricanes five spots to No. 9.
The other ranked teams: No. 4 Penn State, No. 5 Indiana, No. 7 Tennessee, No. 8 Notre Dame, No. 10 Alabama and No. 11 Ole Miss.
