Indiana is the No. 1 team in The Associated Press college football poll for the first time after going through the regular season and Big Ten championship game 13-0. The Hoosiers’ 13-10 win over the Buckeyes made them the unanimous pick for No. 1 as they looked ahead to top seeding for their second straight appearance in the 12-team College Football Playoff.  Georgia beat Alabama by three touchdowns in the SEC title game and moved up one spot to No. 2 for its highest ranking of the season. Ohio State is No. 3.
Texas A&M is out of the top five in The Associated Press college football poll for the first time in two months. The Aggies slipped from No. 3 to No. 7 following their 10-point loss at Texas. Ohio State and Indiana remain the top two teams for the seventh straight poll and Georgia and Oregon each moved up a spot. Texas Tech is next and Mississippi, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Alabama round out the top 10. There are two top-10 matchups in conference championship games. Those are Indiana-Ohio State in the Big Ten and Georgia-Alabama in the SEC.
