2022 College football playoff rankings: Tennessee drops, top-4 remains same heading into Week 13

The College Football Playoff Committee released their fourth Top 25 of the 2022 season on Tuesday evening. After Ohio State and Michigan pulled out close wins over Big Ten opponents, they remain at Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, as they prepare to face each other this Saturday. An ugly Georgia win keeps them at No. 1, and a last-minute fire drill field goal from TCU held them at No. 4.

Tennessee fell to No. 10 after a bad loss to South Carolina, which moved LSU into the No. 5 spot and USC to No. 6 after a big win over UCLA in which Caleb Williams passed for 470 yards.

Texas and Louisville entered the rankings this week, as NC State and Oklahoma State fell out. No team ranked lower than No. 7 at this point in the season has ever made the CFP, but No. 8 Clemson has a chance to break that record if they're able to win out, which sounds a lot easier than it really is.

With rivalry week and conference championships ahead, we can expect to see a lot of shake-ups in the next few rankings. Here are the full rankings after Week 12.
