College Football Playoff rankings: 3-loss Alabama has inside track at playoff berth ahead of 2-loss Miami

Alabama's playoff chances seemed to get a lot better on Tuesday.

The Crimson Tide jumped Miami in the penultimate set of rankings. Alabama (9-3) is at No. 11, a spot ahead of Miami (10-2) at No. 12. If the rankings didn't change before Sunday, Alabama would get the final at-large spot in the 12-team playoff over the Hurricanes.

Ohio State fell to No. 6 after losing at home to Michigan in Week 14. Oregon remained at No. 1 followed by Texas, Penn State, Notre Dame and Georgia. The Bulldogs are the highest-ranked two-loss team.
