The latest edition of the College Football Playoff rankings were revealed on Tuesday evening following all the Week 10 action over the weekend. Alabama, for the third week in a row, slotted in at No. 2 behind the top-ranked Georgia Bulldogs.

As for the other two teams in the top-4, Oregon (No. 3) and Ohio State (No. 4) claimed those spots. In other words, the current Playoff slate didn’t look any different.

Neither did the No. 5, 6 and 7 teams, actually. Cincinnati is still right on the outside looking in at No. 5, while Michigan and Michigan State round out the rest of the top-7.

Oklahoma was ranked as the No. 8 last week, but they dropped to No. 13 after a rough 27-14 loss to No. 13 — now No. 11 — Baylor squad. That means Notre Dame is slowly beginning to make its late-season climb back into Playoff contention.

Overall, there were six SEC teams rated in the top-25. Here are how the entire rankings shook out on Tuesday:
