Georgia fell out of the preliminary playoff field Tuesday night in the second edition of the College Football Playoff rankings.

The Bulldogs have fallen to number 12 and are the first team in the 12-team bracket. Georgia is currently on the outside looking in as No. 13 Boise State would be in the playoffs as the fifth-best conference champion.

Georgia may not be on the outside of the playoffs for long. The Bulldogs host No. 7 Tennessee on Saturday night. A win will return the Bulldogs to the 12-team bracket with two weeks left in the regular season.

Oregon retained the top spot in the rankings and in the projected bracket. Georgia’s loss dropped Texas to second in the series and third overall behind Ohio State. The Big Ten has four teams in the top five as Indiana moved up to No. 5 behind Penn State. The conference is in a great spot to have all four teams in the playoffs at the end of the season, as both Indiana and Penn State could finish the season 11-1 and miss the Big Ten title game.

Ole Miss moved up to No. 11 ahead of Georgia after its 28-10 win over the Bulldogs. The victory moved the Rebels up five places.

Miami fell all the way to No. 9 in the rankings and No. 4 in the series after losing to Georgia Tech on Saturday.

Goodbye to the first round

1. Oregon

2.Texas

3. BYU

4. Miami

BYU moved up three spots after its 22-21 win at Utah. The Cougars host Kansas in Week 12.

First round matchups

No. 12 Boise State at No. 5 Ohio State

No. 11 Ole Miss at No. 6 Penn State

No. 10 Alabama at No. 7 Indiana

Notre Dame No. 9 at No. 8 Tennessee

In this scenario, three of the four first-round games would take place in Big Ten stadiums. It is very likely that this can also become reality. We don’t think Tennessee won’t be at No. 8 in the bracket next week. The Vols either move up with a big win in Georgia or they drop a few spots with a loss.
