By John Buhler
The No. 8 Texas A&M Aggies lost to the Ole Miss Rebels on Saturday night. How does this loss impact the Top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings?
The No. 8 Texas A&M Aggies were the fourth Top 10 team in the College Football Playoff rankings to lose in Week 11. Texas A&M lost at home to the Ole Miss Rebels on a Gary Wunderlich field goal with seconds left in the game.
Chaos in is full effect in Week 11 with Texas A&M, Clemson, Washington, and Auburn all losing on Saturday. Here is what the Top 10 of the College Football Playoff rankings could look like when they are released again on Tuesday night.
- Alabama Crimson Tide
- Michigan Wolverines
- Ohio State Buckeyes
- Clemson Tigers
- Louisville Cardinals
- Washington Huskies
- Wisconsin Badgers
- Penn State Nittany Lions
- Oklahoma Sooners
- Colorado Buffaloes
Alabama annihilated the Mississippi State Bulldogs. The Crimson Tide remained undefeated and would retain the No. 1 ranking entering Week 12. Should Michigan beat the Iowa Hawkeyes in Iowa City, the Wolverines would be the No. 2 team in the country.
Ohio State crushed the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday afternoon. The Buckeyes would be the No. 3 team in the country. Clemson may have lost at home to the Pittsburgh Panthers, but the Tigers would only fall to No. 4 in next week’s poll.
Louisville came on strong in the fourth quarter to hold off the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The Cardinals have to be No. 5. Washington’s loss at home to the USC Trojans drops them to No. 6.
Wisconsin’s big win over the division rival Illinois Fighting Illini would have the Badgers in at No. 7. Penn State held on to beat the Indiana Hoosiers. The Nittany Lions would improve to No. 8.

Coming in at No. 9 would be the Big 12 powerhouse that is Oklahoma. Assuming they beat the lowly Arizona Wildcats, the No. 10 team in the country would be Colorado. What a time to be alive!
