## Key points

- Notre Dame rises to No. 5 as Miami falls six places.
- Indiana drops five places during its bye week.

## Summary

Georgia moved to No. 1 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, while Notre Dame climbed to No. 5 after beating Miami, which fell six places. The changes matter because the committee is shaping a 12-team playoff field, with three more rankings due before the bracket is set on 6 December.

Indiana dropped five places to No. 9 despite having a bye, while undefeated UCLA rose four places to No. 4. Committee chair Hunter Yurachek said Indiana’s bye came at a difficult time and pointed to strong wins by teams behind Miami; the top 12 also included Utah, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee, BYU, Kentucky and Texas Tech. No. 24 Boise State was listed as the leading Group of Six team, while UCLA and Utah were the only undefeated teams remaining.
