College Football Playoff Rankings prediction before Tuesday night's release. The undefeated Oregon Ducks hold the No. 1 spot, but what about the expected controversy when ranking No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide and No.

That begins with an Ohio State team that tumbled from No. 2 to No. 6 after losing to Michigan at home. Elsewhere, Miami (Fla.) dropped from No. 6 to No. 12 while Arizona State only jumped from No. 16 to No. 15.

The fifth and penultimate edition of the College Football Playoff Rankings were released Tuesday night with undefeated Oregon maintaining its spot at No. 1 as has been the case in every set of rankings during this initial year of the expanded 12-team field.
