In this story:

Last week, the first official rankings of the College Football Playoff field for 2024 were released. Since then, Georgia (No. 3 last week) lost to to Ole Miss (No. 16), Miami (No. 4) took its first loss of the season to unranked Georgia Tech, and LSU (15) lost to Alabama (11). While these preliminary rankings technically hold no weight on the final bracket, they give some insight into what the selection committee is valuing and devaluing.

It's safe to say we may see some movement from last week's rankings—which can be found here—which will give even more insight into the factors the committee views as valuable.

There were not any bombshell surprises in the rankings last week, and a field of 12—new to 2024—gives the committee plenty of leeway to make sure the very best teams are included in the rankings.
