On Tuesday evening, the College Football Playoff selection committee released their second Top 25 of the season. The Tulane Green Wave were the only G5 team included at #23. 

Air Force was at #25 in last week's rankings, but fell out following a blowout loss to Army. 

There are also two undefeated G5 teams who are not included in the CFP Top 25: the James Madison Dukes and the Liberty Flames. The Dukes are ineligible for the postseason due to the NCAA's FBS transition rules.

Following the reveal of the latest CFP Top 25, G5 Football Daily asked the CFP Selection Committee Chair Boo Corrigan about the committee's opinion of Tulane's latest performance in a 13-10 over East Carolina, as well as the committee's consideration of an undefeated Liberty team.

Q. Two quick questions on the G5 side. Did the committee's discussion or opinion of Tulane change very much following a close win for them this weekend, and was there a discussion of Liberty who's undefeated currently? 

BOO CORRIGAN: "Yeah, we did. We talked a lot about it. Again, our goal was to get 1 through 25 correct, and we spend time on all of them, understanding not only what it means from a G5 standpoint but just to be ranked in general on a lot of campuses. But yeah, the win against a 1-8, maybe 1-7 when they played ECU team was something that we did talk a lot about and how that game went, and we continue to look at Liberty and other Group of Five schools."

College Football Playoff rankings will be released every Tuesday for the remainder of the regular season. The highest-ranked team from the Group of Five at the end of the regular season will earn a spot in a New Year's Six bowl game.
