Top 4, College football playoff Rankings

(AP) — The top four teams in the College Football Playoff rankings remain the same for the third straight week, the first time that has happened in the five-year history of the postseason system.

Alabama stays at No. 1, followed by Clemson, Notre Dame and Michigan. The Crimson Tide, Tigers and Fighting Irish are unbeaten, and the Wolverines haven’t lost since their season-opening setback to Notre Dame.

Georgia and Oklahoma are fifth and sixth, just ahead of LSU, Washington State, undefeated UCF and Ohio State. The Knights moved up a notch with their blowout win.
