The College Football Playoff Committee announced their final rankings of the 2017 football season tonight and there is a new team in the top four. After Auburn soundly beat two number one teams in 15 days, the Tigers jumped from 6th place to No. 2 in the rankings. This means Auburn will definitely be in the playoffs “if” they can defeat No.6 Georgia in a rematch Saturday in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.
Alabama dropped from No. 1 to No. 5 after being dominated by the Tigers in the Iron Bowl last weekend. The Tide now has to hope one of the top four stumble in a conference championship game for a chance to get back in the picture.
