A lack of upsets in the top 10 last weekend didn't meant no there were no changes at the top of the College Football Playoff rankings released by the committee Tuesday.
Alabama retained the top position it assumed last week after Georgia fell to Auburn. Miami (Fla.), one of three Power Five unbeatens, jumps over Clemson to move to No. 2, the only change in the top group. The Hurricanes will face Clemson, now at No. 3, in the ACC title game on Dec. 2 with the winner likely securing its place in the field.
The rest of the top five was completed by Oklahoma and Wisconsin, which also held their places from last week.
The Sooners beat Kansas in a victory that was overshadowed by quarterback Baker Mayfield's obscene gesture and obscenities directed toward the Jayhawks.
Still without a loss, the Badgers knocked off Michigan at home last Saturday for a second consecutive victory against a team ranked by the committee at the time of the game.
The top four teams in final rankings on Dec. 3 will play in the semifinals. Those two games will be played in the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1.
The championship game will be played on Jan. 8 in Atlanta at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
