The first clue as to how the College Football Playoff rankings will set up came from Sunday's AP Top 25.
The Indiana Hoosiers dropped to No. 10 behind the SMU Mustangs, Tennessee Volunteers and Georgia Bulldogs.
Tennessee and Georgia, who entered in Week 12 in not-so-great spots, are now Nos, 6 and 7 in the AP poll and appear to be safe to get into the playoff.
Saturday's biggest losers were the Alabama Crimson Tide and Ole Miss Rebels, both of whom dropped six positions in the AP poll.
Alabama and Ole Miss are likely out of the 12-team playoff with three losses, but there's still a chance that a three-loss team makes the field if that squad loses on conference championship weekend.
