The third set of College Football Playoff rankings for the 2024 season were released Tuesday night. The Oregon Ducks, sitting at 11-0 overall and 8-0 in Big Ten play, maintain the No. 1 spot in the rankings, while Ohio State stays listed at No. 2, and Texas at No. 3.
The Ducks and Buckeyes have been ranked No. 1 and 2, respectively, in all three CFP reveals, while the Longhorns moved into the No. 3 spot last week and maintained the spot after a 20-10 win over SEC foe Arkansas this past weekend. Steve Sarkisian’s team is 9-1 on the season, with its lone loss coming against Georgia back in Week 8.
Penn State, fresh off a dominant 49-0 win over Purdue, is ranked No. 4, while fellow Big Ten member Indiana, sitting at 10-0 heading into a massive Big Ten showdown against Ohio State this weekend (Noon ET on FOX and the FOX Sports App), rounds out the top five.
