The College Football Playoff selection committee released a new batch of rankings on Tuesday evening.

Week 12 was very eventful across all of college football, but particularly in the SEC. In the biggest games of the week, Oklahoma defeated Alabama in Tuscaloosa while Georgia handed Texas its third loss of the season.

Both of those results had serious CFP implications and are reflected in this week’s rankings.
