The College Football Playoff Selection Committee revealed its updated 2021 poll after a Week 10 slate full of upsets. They ranked the top contenders for the four-team playoff and those with a chance at the New Year’s Six bowls. Tuesday night, ESPN broadcast the much-anticipated rankings, which feature overturn and intrigue after just one week.

Several changes from the first 2021 CFP rankings and the weekly polls show off how unpredictable the season remains, even 10 weeks in. The CFP Selection Committee provided a top 25 based on the latest results and ongoing power struggles between key storyline builders. As each week progresses, the committee will accumulate more data points for comparing teams.

The undefeated Georgia Bulldogs claim the top spot, again making them unanimous across the AP poll, coaches’ poll and CFP rankings. Georgia’s dominance appears one thing all analysts can agree on this season, leaving little doubt on top of any rankings. As the SEC West and Big Ten East races heat up, there is plenty room for ups and downs over the final weeks.

The remainder of the top four – and top 25 – was left in flux after a series of upsets and lackluster wins. Debates over Oklahoma’s unconvincing undefeated record, Michigan State’s first loss and their place against nearby Michigan dominated headlines across several weeks. As the final authority, the CFP Selection Committee issued their official ruling on all debates, paving the way for future discussion on the matter.

Georgia, Alabama, Oregon and Ohio State make up the top-four, with Cincinnati, Michigan and Michigan State on the outside looking in. Undefeated Oklahoma (No. 8) and UTSA (No. 23) remain outside the CFP bubble after Week 10. After another exciting slate of college football games, take a look at the 2021 CFP rankings.
