COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - The title hopes for the Clemson Tigers remain very much alive this week.

Although the Tigers lost 43-42 last week to Pitt, Dabo Swinney's team only falls to the fourth spot in the College Football Playoff Rankings. The Tigers will travel to Wake Forest this week.

After their dominant 51-3 win over Mississippi State, Alabama remains atop the rankings heading into this week's contest at home against Chattanooga.

Jumping to the No. 2 spot in the poll is Ohio State. The Buckeyes were outside of the Top 4 last week before their 62-3 win over Maryland. The Buckeyes will travel to East Lansing this week to face Michigan State.

Staying at No. 3 this week are the Michigan Wolverines. Jim Harbaugh's squad fell to Iowa 14-13 this past weekend. The Wolverines were among three of the top four teams to be defeated last weekend. The Wolverines look to get back in the win column at home against Indiana.

Louisville and Washington fill in the fifth and sixth spots respectively. The Cardinals, who defeated Wake Forest 44-12, will put their five-game winning streak on the line this week when they travel to Houston to face Tom Herman and the Cougars.

The Huskies were among last week's Top 4 teams to fall as well. Washington ended the weekend with a 26-13 loss to Southern California. Now, the Huskies hope to bounce back from the loss when they host Arizona State this week.
