Boise State moved ahead of BYU in the third installment of rankings released by the College Football Playoff selection committee on Tuesday night, putting the Broncos in position to get a first-round bye ahead of the Big 12 champion.
The top five remain unchanged, with No. 1 Oregon leading the way, followed by No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Texas, No. 4 Penn State and No. 5 Indiana. But the biggest story is the way the committee dropped BYU after a 17-13 loss to Kansas ended its unbeaten season.
