Georgia moved into the No. 1 spot in the College Football Playoff selection committee rankings announced Tuesday. The Bulldogs, who are 8-1, climbed one position to take over the top ranking.

The updated top 10 took on a different look after Notre Dame defeated previous No. 1 Miami 31-24 this past weekend. Miami's loss cleared the way for Georgia to move to the front of the rankings.

Undefeated Utah is ranked No. 2, while Alabama moved up two spots to No. 3 with a 7-2 record. Undefeated UCLA made the largest move among the top four, jumping four spots to No. 4.

Notre Dame also made a sharp climb after beating Miami. The Fighting Irish moved six spots from No. 11 to No. 5 and are guaranteed a place in the CFP if they finish among the top 12 in the final rankings.

"They looked like the Notre Dame team that should be ranked No. 5. They were up 24-3 and dominating that game," CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek said on ESPN's rankings release show. "And you look at some teams that were in front of Notre Dame that lost and that let them come up some."

Notre Dame, now 8-1, has games remaining against Boston College, SMU and Syracuse. The move into the top five provided a strong indication that the Fighting Irish are in much better position to reach the 12-team field if they win out.

Texas, which is 7-2, is now No. 6. Miami dropped six positions to No. 7 following its loss, leaving the ACC's top team behind multiple SEC teams with two losses.

Tennessee rose five spots to No. 8 with a 7-2 record. Indiana, which is 8-1, dropped five positions to No. 9 despite having an open date, while BYU slipped one place to No. 10 after losing 28-20 to Utah.

Kentucky is No. 11 after its 34-6 loss to Tennessee, while Texas Tech holds the No. 12 position. Kentucky is 7-2, and Texas Tech is 8-1.

Five conference champions are guaranteed places in the 12-team field. Because of that provision, No. 24 Boise State, a Group of 6 team, would replace Texas Tech as the 12th seed.

If the rankings were used to set the bracket, Georgia, Utah, Alabama and UCLA would receive first-round byes as the top four teams. The first-round games would send Boise State to Notre Dame, Kentucky to Texas, BYU to Miami and Indiana to Tennessee.

Wake Forest moved up three spots to No. 13 but remained outside the top 12. The Demon Deacons are 8-1 and stand as the No. 2 team in the ACC.

Houston is No. 14, followed by Iowa, Oregon, South Carolina, USC, Ole Miss and No. 20 Ohio State. Oregon moved up seven spots, while Ohio State fell eight places from No. 12 after a 41-28 loss to Oregon and is now 6-3.

LSU, Missouri, Arizona, Boise State and Oklahoma State complete the top 25. Nine SEC teams were ranked, down from a record 10 the previous week after Florida dropped out following a loss to Oklahoma.

The Big 12 and Big Ten each have six ranked teams, while the ACC has two. Despite its first loss, Miami remains in good shape to make the CFP field and will be favored in its final three games against Duke, Virginia Tech and Boston College, as well as in the ACC championship game.

Alabama received another reward from the committee after its 31-13 road victory at LSU. Yurachek explained the committee's view of the Crimson Tide and their move to No. 3.

"They're No. 1 in record strength, No. 1 in schedule strength. They have four what we call quality wins because we continue to call that win against Mississippi State earlier in the year when they had Kamario Taylor on their team, they were 4-0," Yurachek said. "Alabama went there and won that game. Alabama we believe deserves to be the No. 3 team in the country."

The committee's final rankings will be announced Dec. 6. First-round games are scheduled for Dec. 18 and 19, with the CFP National Championship game set for Jan. 25 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
