With No. 3 LSU hosting No. 1 Alabama this past week, something had to give in the College Football Playoff Rankings.
A dominant 29-0 victory by the Crimson Tide sent the Tigers tumbling four spots to No. 7 in the updated rankings, and that opened up a spot for a new team to climb into the playoff picture.
That team was the Michigan Wolverines.

Notre Dame, Michigan, Georgia and Oklahoma all moved up one spot as a result of the LSU slide, and there's still plenty of time for each of those teams to work their way into the playoffs before the season is over.
