The second College Football Playoff rankings of the season are out and there's an interesting situation developing with No. 7 LSU. The Tigers do have two losses overall, but they likely control their destiny to reach the SEC championship game and a win there against No. 1 Georgia could make for a strong case to be part of the semifinals. Should that scenario unfold, their inclusion could come at the expense of Tennessee, which already has a dominating win at LSU this season.
Alabama and Clemson fell on the same day and both dropped out of the top six.
