Since Tua Tagovailoa went down with an awful hip injury on Saturday, the main concern has appropriately been for his health and recovery. Tonight, however, we find out if it affects the CFP committee’s rankings. According to Barrett Jones, it isn’t supposed to.
(2/2) Based on this, my opinion is that I doubt we see a huge drop for Alabama in TONIGHT’s rankings. The committee could eventually drop Alabama in the rankings due to Tua’s injury, but only AFTER they have seen games played without him.

This is very interesting, and if true you would have to think that Alabama will likely maintain its #5 spot after making easy work of Mississippi State.
