Penn State football remained at No. 4 in the College Football Playoff rankings, released Tuesday evening. The Nittany Lions stayed put after defeating Purdue 49-10 in West Lafayette Saturday evening. The Nittany Lions were seeded No. 6 and are projected to face No. 11-seeded Georgia.

The top five remain the same as last week. No. 1 Oregon just snuck by Wisconsin 16-13 but remained in the top spot, No. 2 Ohio State handled Northwestern, No. 3 Texas was in a close one with Arkansas, and No. 5 Indiana had a bye week.
