The College Football Playoff committee's Week 11 rankings released after Indiana and Miami's shocking drops have come under scrutiny. Notre Dame climbed into the top five, while Miami, Indiana, and Kentucky all suffered losses in the rankings. Georgia moved to the top spot following Miami's loss to Notre Dame, and Utah also jumped up to number two.
Alabama, with a two-loss record, jumped to third place after their victory over LSU and led the rankings above UCLA, which remains undefeated. The committee's reasoning behind Tennessee's rise to eighth place was questioned, as they defeated Kentucky while Kentucky dropped to 11th. Indiana, ranked fourth in the first set of rankings, dropped five spots during a bye week, a decision the committee defended by blaming Indiana's bye week for their drop.
However, their five wins in the Big Ten against teams that lost that weekend may not have been enough to offset their overall performance. Alabama, Tennessee, UCLA, Notre Dame, and Texas all jumped over Indiana in the rankings.
