The first College Football Playoff rankings of the 2023 season were released on Tuesday, October 31, so we are seeing how things are shaping up entering the final stretch of the regular season.
Unlike the latest AP Top 25 poll, the two-time defending national champion Georgia Bulldogs are not No. 1. The Bulldogs checked in at No. 2, while the top spot in the inaugural College Football Playoff Rankings went to the Ohio State Buckeyes.
Rounding out the top four was the Michigan Wolverines and Florida State Seminoles.
On the outside looking in, meanwhile, are the No. 5 Washington Huskies and No. 6 Oregon Ducks.
