With long-awaited College Football Playoff Rankings finally out, this Saturday had a much more serious feel to it.
Collecting new college football rankings as they’re released
We’ll add the major Sunday top 25s as they’re released. If they’re not listed in here, they’re not out yet. New Playoff rankings are out Tuesday.

The day had some exciting stuff go on throughout, but at the end of the day, there were just two major upsets. Both hurt the Big Ten East, as Ohio State was upset by Iowa 55-24 in Urban Meyer’s worst loss as a head coach and Penn State fell on the road to Michigan State. Other than that, the day went as expected. Georgia beat South Carolina 24-10, Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State in a Bedlam shootout, and Notre Dame got past Wake Forest. Alabama defeated LSU, Clemson survived NC State on the road, and Miami beat Virginia Tech at home.
The only rankings that matter don’t come out until Tuesday night (here’s how the CFP rankings are looking until then), but we’ll still be collecting all of Sunday’s as they come in!

Every poll and rating smashed into one continually updating ranking, basically. We’ll update this one a couple times throughout Sunday.

- Notre Dame (Yep, that’s a one-loss ND ahead of undefeated Bama. Weird, right? Computers don’t look at wins and losses as automatic ranking tiers, and they don’t care that Nick Saban has lots of national titles. The human polls will have Bama ahead, though. Different perspectives!)
