They were seventh last week and behind a one-loss Alabama. They edged into the fourth spot thanks to Georgia&#8217;s win over Tennessee which means that there are now only four unbeaten teams left.<\/p>\n<p>The SEC still dominates the top half with five still in the top eleven. This will change next week though as Alabama &amp; Ole Miss face off this weekend. LSU jumped with their win and is the highest-ranked two-loss team.<\/p>\n<h3>Five Three-Loss Teams Included!<\/h3>\n<p>Last week we questioned Texas being included with three losses and wondered what the rationale was for leaving out the likes of Florida State &amp; Notre Dame whose resumes looked just as good if not slightly better. Well, this week they have not only included them but also another two 5-3 teams too!<\/p>\n<p>This is useful as it is giving a clearer picture of the CFP thinking process and it seems that they value wins over quality losses and penalise bad losses. This is probably why Notre Dame is below Texas &amp; Kansas State despite beating the then No. 4 and still top 10 Clemson and also having a win over No 15 North Carolina. That Marshall Loss still haunts them.<\/p>\n<h2>Still No Love For Liberty<\/h2>\n<p>Both the AP &amp; Coaches Polls rank Liberty at 19, however, despite being 8-1 they are getting no love from the CFP committee. We thought that last week&#8217;s road win over Arkansas would do the trick but that was still not enough to catch their eye.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Tulane seems to be getting a little more respect and they are now ahead of Kansas State who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/college-football\/game\/_\/gameId\/401404074\">Tulane<\/a> beat on the road earlier in the season. They are the highest non-power five team in the rankings and currently hold the G5 at large bid for a <a title=\"Five Minute Guide to the New Year Bowl Games \u2013 NY6\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/ncaacollegefootball\/five-minute-guide-to-the-new-year-bowl-games-ny6\/\">new years bowl<\/a> slot.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1803\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1803\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-1803\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/ncaacollegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/11\/shutterstock_2064194021-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Pratt Tulane Green Wave\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/ncaacollegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/11\/shutterstock_2064194021-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/ncaacollegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/11\/shutterstock_2064194021-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/ncaacollegefootball\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2022\/11\/shutterstock_2064194021.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1803\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tulane are finally getting some respect<br \/>Image: Mark Fann\/Shutterstock.com<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Gone For Now<\/h3>\n<p>Oklahoma State, Syracuse, Wake Forest &amp; Oregon State all dropped out being replaced by Notre Dame, Florida State, Kentucky &amp; Washington<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the week&#8217;s rankings are below&#8230;<\/p>\n<h2>CFP Week 11 Rankings<\/h2>\n<p><strong>1 Georgia 9-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2 Ohio State 9-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3 Michigan 9-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>4 TCU 9-0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>5 Tennessee 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>6 Oregon 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>7 LSU 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>8 USC 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>9 Alabama 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>10 Clemson 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>11 Ole Miss 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>12 UCLA 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>13 Utah 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>14 Penn State 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>15 North Carolina 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>16 NC State 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>17 Tulane 8-1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>18 Texas 6-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>19 Kansas State 6-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>20 Notre Dame 6-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>21 Illinois 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>22 UCF 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>23 Florida State 6-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>24 Kentucky 6-3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>25 Washington 7-2<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Conference representation<\/h2>\n<p><strong>SEC 6<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>PAC-12 5<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>ACC 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Big Ten 4<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Big 12 3<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>AAC 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Independent 1<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You can check previous CFP rankings <a title=\"2022 College Football Week Seven Tennessee Are For Real\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fiveminutesspare.com\/ncaacollegefootball\/tag\/cfp-rankings\/\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Week Eleven of the CFP rankings saw TCU finally get some validation for its undefeated season.
