Oregon tops Week 2 College Football Playoff rankings and Georgia drops out of the bracket
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! Undefeated Oregon stayed on top in the second batch of College Football Playoff rankings, while Tuesday’s poll shoved Georgia completely out of the bracket after its lopsided loss to Mississippi. Those byes go to the four highest-ranked conference champions, meaning Miami of the Atlantic Coast Conference would get a pass into the quarterfinals per this week’s version of the bracket despite a loss to Georgia Tech that dropped the Hurricanes five spots to No. College football’s first 12-team playoff begins with first-round games Dec. 20-21 and concludes with the title game on Jan. 20. “As we went through the rankings and looked at everyone, they obviously fell to 12, but it’s based on who won in front of them, head-to-head and everything we look at in terms of body of work.” Both the SEC and Big Ten placed four teams in the projected Week 2 bracket.
