There were some shakeups in this week's College Football Playoff rankings, but not to the team topping the list.

Georgia remains No. 1, with Michigan moving up to No. 2, followed by Washington and Florida State, both of which moved up one spot in the rankings.

Ohio State, which lost to Michigan last Saturday, falls to No. 6.

Oregon jumped up to No. 5, with Texas at No. 7, and Alabama at No. 8.

"You can't get closer than 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 in what we're looking at, and we continue to evaluate it.," CFP Committee Selection Chair Boo Corrigan aid. "The advantage we have this year, and I do believe it's an advantage: we've got a lot of great teams, and we've got a lot of great choices to make."

The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide (11-1) face off in the SEC Championship Saturday at 4 p.m. on CBS.

Depending on what other teams win their respective championship games, there's apparently no guarantee Alabama would be one of the final four, even with a win over Georgia.

If Texas defeats Oklahoma State for the Big 12 title, a 12-1 Longhorn team could very well earn a spot over Alabama based solely on their win over the Crimson Tide back in September.

Per Corrigan, the fact the game was played over two months ago holds no bearing in the eyes of the committee.

"Head-to-head is head-to-head, no matter when the game is played," Corrigan said. "That's how we look at it."

The committee's decision to drop Ohio State behind Oregon was the first question asked of Corrigan on a post-announcement teleconference.

"Well, again, in looking at it, you're not looking specifically at one team as much as you are a group of teams and the teams around them, and what did they do this past week," Corrigan said. "Oregon continues to impress. The win over Oregon State, holding a team to seven points that's averaging 34 points. Again, there's a lot of respect for Ohio State being No. 6. It's a really good team, but to your point, it's a one-possession game on the road, but the committee ranked Oregon 5 and Ohio State 6."
