After a wacky Saturday in college football which saw several upsets and close calls, the College Football Playoff rankings once again will look a lot different this week.

ESPN’s Heather Dinich thinks this is how the rankings will look Tuesday night.

1. Georgia
2. Oregon
3. Alabama
4. Ohio State
5. Cincinnati

Michigan State obviously will be out of the Top 4 after their loss to Purdue and Dinich thinks Alabama will drop a spot despite their victory because of the way they struggled against LSU.

“It wouldn’t surprise me if Alabama drops,” Dinich said on SportsCenter. “I think they drop to the 3 or 4 spot. If I had to project it right now, I’d say the committee debates with Oregon No. 2, Alabama No. 3, Ohio State No. 4 and Cincinnati No. 5.”

It will be interesting to see if Dinich is right on her prediction when the CFP committee releases their rankings Tuesday night on ESPN.
