The second 2025 College Football Playoff rankings have been revealed with Ohio State still leading the field.
The undefeated Buckeyes earning the top spot in the rankings is expected, as the committee must still believe them to be the title favorites after winning it all in January. Undefeated Indiana held off a feisty Penn State in Happy Valley on Saturday to keep that second spot behind Ohio State.
Texas A&M still rounds out the top three with its undefeated record, still the only team in the SEC who can still claim perfection on the season so far. Teams like Alabama, Georgia, Texas Tech and Ole Miss maintain momentum.
Here's what the 12-team CFP bracket would look like if the playoff began Tuesday after the second set of rankings.
These rankings will change each week until we get to the final unveiling in December, so consider this a very early glimpse into what the committee is thinking. It's subject to change as the 2025 season rolls on.
