CFP playoff bracket: Oregon moves up in latest rankings and Miami makes the bracket

Sports news college-football November 26, 2025

The College Football Playoff Selection Committee just released their latest set of rankings.

And the updated bracket contains a few surprises.

Oregon moved ahead of Ole Miss after beating ranked USC. Ole Miss was idle this past week before they take on Mississippi State this Friday in the Egg Bowl. That was the only change inside the Top 10 from last week’s rankings.

As we wondered earlier today, Miami moved ahead of Utah to No. 12, as the Utes dropped down to No. 13. Utah needed a comeback effort to knock off 5-6 Kansas State this past weekend. Miami still remains four spots behind Notre Dame, a team the Hurricanes beat to open the season, but as the top-ranked ACC team they are now in the hypothetical bracket.

However, the Hurricanes will need a win this weekend over Pittsburgh — and a lot of help — just to make the ACC Championship Game. SMU and Virginia are the two teams most likely to reach the ACC title game.

In a world where the Hurricanes miss out on the ACC Championship Game, they’d need to find a way in as an at-large team. Sitting at No. 12, that might be difficult to do.

No. 11 BYU was the highest-ranked team left out of the bracket.

Tulane, ranked at No. 24, remains the representative from the Group of 5 conferences.

Here are the Committee’s latest rankings, as well as a look at the hypothetical bracket and first round.

What is the latest CFP bracket?

Here is the hypothetical College Football Playoff Bracket, based on the latest rankings from the Selection Committee:

These four games would be the first-round matchups, all hosted by the higher seed:

These four teams: Ohio State, Indiana, Texas A&M, and Georgia, would receive first-round byes.

Gap’s Black Friday Blowout Might Save Your Closest Mall

Two late goals, including one by Tamil Nadu’s local boy Nandhakumar Sekar, broke Chennaiyin FC’s hearts as East Bengal beat it 3-1 in its first away match, at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium, in Chennai on Saturday.

Chennaiyin had planned to turn the heat up — quite literally — on East Bengal on a sultry summer afternoon in Chennai. But East Bengal coach Oscar Bruzon and the sun both had other ideas.

With the sunlight directly falling on the home fans’ stand, Chennaiyin’s twelfth man moved for cover. So did the players, who were subjected to early high pressure by the visiting side.

And within seven minutes, East Bengal was ahead.

Elsinho lost the ball, picking up an injury in the process, and the visiting side swarmed around him. Mohammed Rashid got the ball, passed to Saul Crespo, who threaded a through ball to Edmund Lalrindika in the final third.

While several of Chennaiyin’s players kept appealing for a foul on Elsinho, Edmund took off, entering the box and beating Mohammad Nawaz for his third goal of the season. Bruzon’s men had scored the first goal in four of their six matches in ISL so far. That became five in seven.

In the 20th minute, Farukh Choudhary whipped in a cross for Irfan Yadwad, whose header rattled the frame of the goal. Three minutes later, Yadwad tried another shot, this time from outside the box, prompting Prabhsukhan Gill to make another save.

AS IT HAPPENED | CHENNAIYIN VS EAST BENGAL HIGHLIGHTS

Chennaiyin was knocking on East Bengal’s door, and, with the afternoon giving way to dusk, the home fans were out in the open with chants and cheers. And by the half-hour mark, the host side had found a voice, both on and off the field.

Laldinliana Renthlei floated in a long diagonal ball for Yadwad, who had run behind East Bengal’s high defence, and the forward dinked the ball over Gill to make it all square.

‘Slender leads and high lines never sit well’ must have been one of the thoughts on Bruzon’s mind as he paced up and down in the technical area and raised his hand for the flanks to go forward.

PV Vishnu answered the call, overlapping with Edmund to get into the box.

However, a terrible miss in front of an open goal after dribbling past Nawaz only made the Spanish coach restless. Thirteen minutes later, Vishnu tried again, only to be denied by Nawaz.

His perseverance finally paid off in the last quarter of the match when East Bengal attacked on the counter. Vishnu’s cross from the left was guided into the net by Bipin Singh, seven minutes from time, sending the visiting fans into delirium.

It was East Bengal’s time now to ride the wave of support. And that support, with another quick counterattack, saw Miguel Damasceno set up Nandha to his left, who made no mistake with his first-time finish.

The win meant East Bengal leapfrogged its arch-rival Mohun Bagan Super Giant to sit third in the league standings on goal difference, while for Bruzon, it was another match against Chennaiyin, three goals scored, and finally, another win to cherish.

East Bengal will host Bengaluru FC in its next match on April 16, while Chennaiyin, which fell to third from bottom with the loss, will look to halt the in-form Sporting Club Delhi, which has won consecutive matches in the last two rounds.

Deadspin | Raptors strive to secure top-six playoff spot in clash vs. Nets Dec 21, 2025; Brooklyn, New York, USA; Toronto Raptors forward Brandon Ingram (3) reacts after making a shot against the Brooklyn Nets during the first half at Barclays Center. Mandatory Credit: John Jones-Imagn Images The Toronto Raptors can clinch a top-six playoff spot with a win on Sunday night against the visiting Brooklyn Nets in the teams’ regular-season finale. The Raptors (45-36) dropped to sixth — the final guaranteed playoff spot — in the Eastern Conference on Friday night with a 112-95 road loss to the New York Knicks. Toronto could finish fifth if it beats the Nets and if both the Atlanta Hawks and Orlando Magic lose. “All antennas are up, one game to go, the final of the season,” Raptors coach Darko Rajakovic said. “We’ve got to find the best focus, the best version of ourselves. We have to be at the peak of our performance for that game.” The Raptors have won two of three against the Nets (20-61) this season. The Nets’ win over the Raptors came in their most recent meeting, 96-81, on Dec. 21. The Nets have dropped two games in a row, most recently a 125-108 road loss to Milwaukee Bucks on Friday. The losses followed two straight wins. Tyson Etienne led the Nets with a career-best 23 points, shooting 6-for-12 from 3-point range. Malachi Smith had 19 points, eight rebounds and 10 assists. He was 5-for-7 from long range. If the Raptors finish sixth, they would face the third-seeded Knicks in the first round of the playoffs, a difficult draw. The Knicks have defeated the Raptors in 13 consecutive games, including five times this season. As for the Nets, they sit third in the lottery standings. “This year was rough obviously,” said Nets center Nic Claxton, who did not play Friday because of a sprained finger. “So we’ve got (one more game), we flush that out, we get back to the drawing board this summer, and we go from there. Obviously, everybody, we want to be in a winning situation. We all want to win, so that’s what we’re striving to get back to. And whatever we need to do to get back to that process as quickly as we can, that’s what we’ll do.” The Raptors could have clinched at least a sixth-place finish by winning Friday. Their downfall was the second quarter, when they were outscored 29-15. “I thought we were there the whole game, competing,” Rajakovic said. “We had a couple of opportunities to get completely back in the game. Unfortunately, the ball bounced their way tonight. I thought the first quarter was very, very competitive. I thought defensively we did a very good job. On offense we can do a better job of setting screens, freeing up teammates so we can create some flow on the offensive end.” Toronto played without Immanuel Quickley (foot injury management), Collin Murray-Boyles (neck sprain) and RJ Barrett (sore right knee). Barrett was a late scratch. Reserve Sandro Mamukelashvili led Toronto scoring with 17 points. Brandon Ingram scored 16, and Scottie Barnes and Ja’Kobe Walter recorded 15 points apiece. Rajakovic reached 100 total wins with the Raptors with a victory over Miami on Thursday. Ingram has been a key player this season in the Raptors’ improvement, and he credited Rajakovic. “He holds me accountable on and off the floor,” Ingram said. “He tells me what I need to do, whether I want to hear it or not. He’s made me a better defender. He’s made me care about that side of the basketball more, and on the offensive end, he just wants the best for me, and he’s there to communicate.” –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Raptors #strive #secure #topsix #playoff #spot #clash #Nets
