The second College Football Playoff rankings for the 2024 season were revealed on Tuesday night and featured some big changes.
The most prominent of those changes was the Georgia Bulldogs dropping from the No. 3 ranking (and No. 2 seed) all the way down to the No. 12 ranking and being the first team out of the playoff field. That is a result of their loss to Ole Miss on Saturday, which is already the Bulldogs’ second loss of the season.
SMU in the No. 14 spot would be the second team out.
With Georgia dropping down the rankings, that means somebody else had to move up into a top-four seed — and potential first-round bye — and that was the Texas Longhorns, who went from the No. 5 ranking up to No. 3, and the second overall seed in the bracket.
Miami (No. 9), BYU (No. 6) and Oregon (No. 1) all remain in the top-four seeds.
Here is what the bracket would look like right now:
