CFP rankings Week 11 winners and losers: Indiana falls below 2-loss SEC crowd, ACC jilted
Notre Dame climbed to No. 5 after beating No. 1.
CFP Rankings Week 11 winners and losers reveal Indiana slipping below 2-loss SEC teams and ACC teams feeling jilted. Indiana dropped five spots from No. 4 to No. 9 after a bye week, despite being one Nick Marsh foot away from being undefeated. This ranking puts pressure on the defending national champions to avoid a second loss, which could be risky with one loss.
Meanwhile, Notre Dame rose six spots to No. 5 after a victory over Miami, setting them up nicely for a playoff berth if they win their next three games. UCLA climbed four spots to No. 4 with a perfect season, showcasing a strong Big Ten program led by backup quarterback Ty Dieffenbach. BYU remained in the top 10 despite a loss to Utah, demonstrating their resilience with a 28-24 win against Notre Dame.
However, Miami suffered a setback against Notre Dame without star receiver Malachi Toney, potentially jeopardizing their playoff chances against Duke in Week 11. Wake Forest and Texas Tech faced criticism from the committee, with the latter team struggling to justify their ranking ahead of BYU. The ACC appears to be on a one-bid trajectory, further complicating the playoff picture for its teams.
