BYU football is climbing the rankings. The undefeated Cougars are ranked No. 6 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, up three spots from their placement at No. 9 last week. BYU was ranked No. 7 in the latest iteration of the AP Poll and No. 8 in the Coaches Poll.

Greg Sankey's head has to be spinning this week as the SEC's College Football Playoff chaos scenario is gaining traction following Alabama's beatdown of LSU and Ole Miss posting its best win under Lane Kiffin against Georgia.

The Cougars moved up three spots to No. 6 in the second unveiling of the College Football Playoff rankings, unveiled at halftime of the Champions Classic basketball event on ESPN.
