Following a 55-24 pasting at the hands of Iowa Saturday, Ohio State fell to No. 13 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings.

Georgia held on to the No. 1 spot with Alabama behind the Bulldogs once again at No. 2. Notre Dame maintains the No. 3 spot ahead of a top-10 clash with No. 7 Miami, and Clemson held on to the No. 4 spot.

On the outside of the top-four looking in is No. 5 Oklahoma and No. 6 TCU, who face off against each other Saturday. 

With Ohio State and Penn State both losing this weekend, the Big Ten has just one team remaining in the top ten: No. 8 Wisconsin. The Nittany Lions fell to No. 14 following their loss to Michigan State and the Spartans climbed to No. 12 while Iowa and Northwestern joined the rankings for the first time this season, coming in at No. 20 and No. 25, respectively.

ESPN will air the one-hour College Football Playoff: Top 25 show weekly on Tuesdays, concluding with the selection committee's final rankings on Sunday, Dec. 3. Ohio State will need several miracles to get back into the top four.

Here's a full look at the rankings:
