The second iteration of the College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday night and there were plenty of shakeups. Last week's inaugural rankings put a no-doubt team at the top, but this week wasn't as easy.

The poll after Week 10 saw a change at the top after the Hurricanes fell to Notre Dame last week. Miami fell six spots to No. 7, and Notre Dame rose six spots to No. 5.

New No. 1 Georgia obliterated No. 19 Ole Miss to claim the top spot in the CFP rankings. This week, the Bulldogs will go on the road to face the Missouri Tigers, who have lost two of their last three games.

Two FBS teams remain unbeaten: the No. 2 Utah Utes and the No. 4 UCLA Bruins. Utah's win last week over No. 10 BYU helped the Utes move up one slot in this week's CFP rankings. This week, Utah takes on No. 23 Arizona on the road, while the Bruins will be at home against Illinois on Friday night.

Indiana drops 5 spots on bye week

The Hoosiers did not play last weekend. Yet, when the bracket was revealed on Tuesday night, Indiana's was lower expected. Last week, the Hoosiers were ranked No. 4, but this week they were ranked No. 9.

The assumption on the bracket reveal show was that Indiana's one loss — to Ohio State — looked worse after the Buckeyes lost their third game last weekend and fell in the rankings.

CFP committee chair Hunter Yurachek told ESPN Indiana was "a victim of having a bye week at the wrong time" as several teams near them in the rankings earned quality wins and moved ahead of them.

Three teams Indiana beat — Northwestern, Michigan, and Minnesota — also lost last weekend. It feels like the committee overcorrected, but the Hoosiers can make up for it with a convincing win over No. 18 USC this weekend.

The Alabama effect

The Crimson Tide jumped up to No. 3 this week after being No. 7 last week. Alabama is the highest-ranked two-loss team, and is currently ranked ahead of undefeated UCLA and one-loss Notre Dame.

Alabama's two losses this season were to now-No. 1 Georgia and No. 8 Tennessee. The Crimson Tide have a tough strength of schedule, but being four spots ahead of the Volunteers, who have the head-to-head, will likely make fans confused for the second week in a row about exactly how the committee is making its decisions.

Yurachek spoke on the Alabama-Tennessee situation and said, “Alabama was in that first pool, Tennessee was not in that first pool..If you look at their schedule compared to Alabama's schedule, the committee feels like Alabama has a stronger schedule.”

No. 1 Georgia, No. 2 Utah, No. 3 Alabama, No. 4 UCLA, No. 5 Notre Dame, No. 6 Texas, No. 7 Miami, No. 8 Tennessee, No. 9 Indiana, No. 10 BYU, No. 11 Kentucky, No. 12 Boise State

How could Week 11 shake up the rankings for next week?

Now that the rankings are out, we have a clearer look at this weekend's matchups.

There was hope that SMU would sneak into the top 25 to make the matchup against No. 13 Wake Forest mean a little more, but that didn't happen. Still, that game could very well determine which team Miami faces in the final ACC championship next month.

While the weekend has plenty of exciting matchups, none of them are between two teams currently projected to make the 12-team playoff.

Here is a look at the biggest matchups of the weekend with the updated ratings:

No. 7 Miami vs. Duke
No. 13 Wake Forest vs. SMU
No. 22 Missouri vs. No. 1 Georgia
No. 18 USC vs. No. 9 Indiana
No. 2 Utah vs. No. 23 Arizona
No. 6 Texas vs. No. 21 LSU
No. 12 Texas Tech vs. No. 25 Oklahoma State
