Florida State falls to No. 5 in College Football Playoff ranking

J.Thompson3 months ago

Jordan Travis didn’t cost the Florida State Seminoles their game last Saturday, but it likely played a role in the Seminoles losing their top-four ranking from the College Football Playoff selection committee.

After weeks of standing pat at No. 4, Florida State fell to No. 5 when the latest playoff rankings were revealed Tuesday night. Undefeated Washington moved up to No. 4 after its impressive win last weekend at top-20 Oregon State.

The top three for the second consecutive week are Georgia, Ohio State and Michigan in that order.

Florida State is 11-0 on the season with one game remaining — Saturday at rival Florida. The Seminoles will be playing that game without star quarterback Travis, who went down with a catastrophic leg injury last Saturday night.

If FSU wins that game, it will have a great chance to move back into the Top 4 as Michigan and Ohio State are playing each other this weekend.
