No Change at the top of the Third Playoff Committee Rankings

There wasn't a lot of movement at the top, but Stanford stuck around at number 11

While Week Eleven of college football saw a great number of upsets and potential playoff contenders falling off the radar, the view from the top remained largely unchanged. The top four teams played outmatched opponents and, while some were tested more than they ought to have been, none were shaken to the point that their position was lost. More than that, potential playoff crashers Baylor, Stanford, Utah and LSU all suffered a critical loss, which cleared the way for the top four to remain the top four in the latest Playoff Committee Rankings, which looks like the following yet again:

1 - Clemson
2 - Alabama
3 - Ohio State
4 - Notre Dame

Clemson was challenged early by Syracuse, though by the end of the game they handled the Orange fairly easily and still looked like a complete team in the process.
