Clemson ranked in top 4 of latest College Football Playoff rankings

There were some changes near the top of the latest College Football Playoff top 25 rankings, which were released Tuesday night on ESPN.

Alabama and Clemson are still ranked No. 1 and No. 2 after blowing out their opponents on Saturday, but the shakeups start after that.

Notre Dame is now No. 3, with Michigan moving up to No. 4. Georgia rounds out the top five after winning at Kentucky over the weekend.

The rest of the top 10 includes No. 6 Oklahoma, followed by No. 7 LSU, No. 8 Washington State, No. 9 West Virginia and No. 10 Ohio State.

Kentucky fell from No. 9 to No. 11 after losing to the Bulldogs.

Boston College, Clemson’s opponent Saturday night, moved up to No. 17, setting up a top 20 showdown this week. Clemson can clinch the ACC Atlantic and a spot in the ACC title game with a victory against the Eagles. Boston College will control its own destiny if it can pull off the upset.

College GameDay will be in town for the matchup, which will kick off at 8 p.m. on ABC.
