Georgia is out of the College Football Playoff bracket as a wild week shakes up the rankings

The fields were stormed during college football on Saturday and there was a shakeup in the rankings.

Three of the top four seeds from last week’s rankings, including the No. 1 seed, still have automatic bids this week, but one team fell from the No. 2 seed to outside the bracket.

If you still need a refresher, five automatic bids go to the conference winners, with the top four seeds going to the top-ranked conference leaders, who get a bye.

The remaining seven bids go to major teams based on their position in the rankings. Due to the bracket system, a team’s playoff seeding may not be the same as its committee ranking.

FOX NEWS DIGITAL SPORTS’ COLLEGE FOOTBALL WINNERS AND LOSERS: WEEK 11

The last automatic bid:

12. Boise State – Mountain West leader (8-1, 5-0); ranked 13th

Georgia is ranked 12th in the country, but due to Boise State’s automatic bid as conference leader, the Bulldogs are the first team to drop out, with SMU following close behind.

The Bulldogs lost to Ole Miss last week, and the Rebels climbed from No. 16 in the country to No. 11 to join the pack. Georgia fell from third place in the country.

The loss was Georgia’s first against a team other than Alabama since November 7, 2020.

A win for LSU would almost certainly have given it a playoff seed, but the nation’s 15th-ranked team was eliminated against then-No. 11 Alabama, 42-13, as Jalen Milroe ran for nearly 200 yards and four touchdowns.
