Oklahoma moved up, but not by a lot, while Alabama and Texas took dramatic falls in the College Football Playoff rankings.

Oklahoma grabbed back-to-back ranked road wins over Tennessee (33-27) and Alabama (23-21) for what might be the best two-game stretch from any team in the country. Despite losing two games in the past five contests, the Sooners have a terrific resume that includes four-ranked wins in five tries and a 4-0 road record.

Mendoza turned in another efficient performance in Indiana’s 31-7 over Wisconsin, completing 22-of-24 passes for 299 yards and four touchdowns. The win saw the Hoosiers reach the 11-0 mark for the first time in school history, and with only 2-9 Purdue left on their schedule, 12-0 is certainly in play.

North Texas is in the AP poll for the first time since 1959, but it hasn't cracked the College Football Playoff rankings yet.

With only three Saturdays remaining before Selection Day, the College Football Playoff field includes 19 Power 4 teams still in contention to compete for their respective conference titles ahead of the committee's third of six rankings on Tuesday night (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN).

A shot at the College Football Playoff is on the line for both No. 15 Georgia Tech and Pittsburgh ahead of a prime-time matchup Saturday night.

In addition to AT&T Playoff Playlist Live!, Kat Luna will perform at the Allstate Championship Tailgate ahead of the Jan. 19 championship game.

Alabama needs to hope that the Oklahoma Sooners used all its ammo last week against the Tide and get caught sleeping at the wheel against the Tigers. Even with the head-to-head advantage, three losses would send Oklahoma packing, and it wouldn't be for the playoff.
