Tennessee didn’t suffer too much for dropping a game to Georgia over the weekend, only falling to No. 5 in the latest batch of the College Football Playoff rankings. The Volunteers were helped out in a big way by Clemson, who was blown out by Notre Dame, and Alabama, who lost in overtime to LSU.
Georgia moved up to No. 1, while Ohio State, Michigan and TCU followed, as expected.
Alabama tumbled down to No. 9 after their loss, while Clemson landed at No. 10. Both appear to be firmly out of the final four picture with just three weeks left to play.
