Sports: TCU leap frogs Florida State n CFP Top 25

12-2-2014

TCU moved back into the College Football Playoff rankings' first four, and leapfrogged undefeated Florida State in the process.

The Horned Frogs were ranked third, one spot ahead of the Seminoles, in the rankings released Tuesday night, the final set of rankings before the 12-member committee selects the four teams for the inaugural playoff tournament on Sunday.

Alabama and Oregon remained No. 1 and No. 2, respectively. Ohio State was ranked fifth andBaylor, which defeated TCU on Oct. 11, was sixth.

TCU routed Texas, 48-10, this past Thursday to win its sixth straight. Florida State held off Florida, 24-19, in Will Muschamp's final game as the Gators' coach, but still slipped a spot in the CFP rankings despite winning its 12th straight this season (and 28th overall).

Each of the top six teams are in action this weekend. Oregon faces Arizona (No. 7 in this week's CFP rankings) in the Pac-12 championship game on Friday. Alabama plays Missouri (No. 16 CFP) in the SEC championship game and Florida State faces Georgia Tech (No. 11 CFP) in the Dr. Pepper ACC Championship Game, both on Saturday.
