If the College Football Playoff selection committee follows the example set by the Associated Press media top 25 poll, Alabama football will be in the 12-team field. When the poll, which has no bearing on the CFP rankings, was updated Sunday morning following Friday and Saturday’s conference championship games, the Crimson Tide was ranked No. 11.

Alabama didn’t move in the rankings after assuming the 11th spot last week. Both ACC championship game participants, winner Clemson and loser SMU, were ranked below the Crimson Tide.

Despite the loss, the Mustangs were placed at No. 12, one spot ahead of Clemson, which won on a late field goal to seal a spot in the playoff. The CFP selection committee will untangle whether SMU gets into the field over Alabama during the selection show, later on Sunday.

Oregon remained No. 1 in the AP poll, while Georgia climbed to No. 2 after beating Texas. Notre Dame slid up to third, followed by Texas and Penn State.

Ohio State moved up to No. 6, with Tennessee seventh. Boise State, now champions of the Mountain West, got the eighth spot.

Indiana and Arizona State closed out the AP top 10. The CFP selection show, which features the final rankings and 12-team bracket, will be aired Sunday on ESPN, beginning at 11 a.m. CT.
