College Football Playoff Rankings: Alabama tumbles after close loss to Oklahoma

The latest College Football Playoff rankings saw no changes in the top three, but a big loss for the previous No. 4 team has them falling down the list.

The Alabama Crimson Tide lost a close one to the Oklahoma Sooners at home, 23-21, and it cost them in the eyes of the selection committee. They fell from No. 4 to No. 10.

Meanwhile, the Georgia Bulldogs, who had been at No. 5 in each of the first two rankings, moved into their place at No. 4.

Ohio State, Indiana and Texas A&M remain at 1 through 3, respectively, to round out the top four, who would each receive a bye if the playoff were to start today.

It was interesting to see the Crimson Tide behind the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, though, who are at No. 9 in the rankings. Notre Dame doesn’t have any more top-25 wins this season, with Alabama collecting four to just one.

Texas Tech moved to No. 5, followed by Ole Miss, Oregon and Oklahoma, which moved up to the No. 8 slot following its big road victory in Tuscaloosa.

Looking past the top 10, BYU is at No. 11, followed by Utah, Miami, Vanderbilt and USC to round out the top 15. The Hurricanes specifically had a big weekend, defeating NC State 41-7 to help them jump up two spots in the rankings.

Of course, with both Miami and Notre Dame at 8-2 overall, the Hurricanes and their fan base are surely not happy they remain four spots behind the Fighting Irish, considering they beat them earlier this season.

"The No. 1 criteria is always head-to-head. It’s why we play the game, right?" Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said, via ESPN. "That always has been and always will be the No. 1 factor."

However, on the other side of the argument is how the Hurricanes got their two losses compared to Notre Dame. The Fighting Irish lost to the Hurricanes and the Texas Longhorns — both ranked teams. Miami, though, was upset by unranked Louisville and SMU this season.

Speaking of the Longhorns, they moved to No. 17 following their lopsided loss to Georgia, 35-10, which pushed them to 7-3 on the year. Georgia Tech is just in front of them at No. 16, while Michigan (18), Virginia (19) and Tennessee (20) are behind them.

Rounding out the top 25 are Illinois, Missouri, Houston, Tulane and Arizona State, respectively.

As always, the five highest-ranked conference champions will be in the 12-team field this playoff season. But there’s a reminder: It will be a straight seeding model, not one in which each winner of the Power Four conferences receives an automatic bye.

There are just two weeks left in the regular season, and conference championships will follow to ultimately determine how the College Football Playoff field will shake out.

Heidi Klum and daughter Leni steal the spotlight with stunning red carpet twinning moment

Heidi Klum and daughter Leni Klum stole the spotlight at Germany’s Glamour Women of the Year Awards with a mini-me moment.

Heidi, 52, and her 21-year-old daughter walked the red carpet together as the "America's Got Talent" host was honored with Glamour’s Icon of the Year award.

Leni stunned in a sheer lace dress with a black bodysuit underneath. For Heidi's part, she paired a leopard-print sequin dress with black sheer tights.

Heidi's look-alike daughter took the stage to give a speech in honor of her mother. "For most people, Heidi Klum is a supermodel, a TV host and a businesswoman. But for me, she's just my mom," Leni began, before concluding, "She taught me that strength is about knowing who you are and that kindness makes you powerful and that glamour and beauty come from within," she told the crowd in a video shared by Heidi on Instagram.

In 2020, Heidi revealed that Leni regularly spent time with her on TV sets and had aspirations to model and host shows.

"She kind of comes [on set] and looks and learns not just what I do but also what all the different people are doing on a TV set. I think it's very interesting to her," the model told People magazine. "When you're that age, you're still trying to figure out who you are, what you want to be and kind of see for the first time what are all these different jobs to make a TV show happen. She does want to do what I do."

Heidi gave Leni words of advice in a 2023 interview with Fox News Digital.

"I think the best advice I've given my daughter for being a model is to always be happy with yourself when you look in the mirror. I think that's most important," Heidi said on the "America’s Got Talent" red carpet.

"Don't try to ever please anyone," Heidi suggested. "I think it is important to say no… because I feel like… just in general, we want to please and… say ‘yes’ more than ‘no.’ But I wanted her to know that if there's something you don't want to do, you just have to say no."
