The first iteration of the College Football Playoff rankings were released Tuesday. Schools that have already played occupy the top two spots.
Oregon beat Ohio State, 32-31, earlier in the season and sits at 9-0. The Buckeyes are second at 7-1.
The new format which sees a dozen teams qualify for the post-season tournament has allowed Oregon (Big Ten), Georgia (SEC), Miami (ACC) and BYU (Big 12) to receive first round byes if these rankings were maintained.
The first-round matchups would be Boise State at Ohio State, Alabama at Texas, Notre Dame at Penn State and Indiana at Tennessee if those finish the final seeding, which is unlikely.
The Big Ten and SEC dominate the top eight spots before undefeated BYU appears at No. 9.
Other undefeated schools are Miami with four, Indiana with eight and Army with 25.
The first team with two losses in the standings is Alabama with 11.
Notre Dame sits at 10 despite losing to the MAC school from Northern Illinois.
The only school with three losses is No. 22 Louisville.
