Texas has a bye on its schedule this week.

Ohio State claimed the No. 1 spot in the initial rankings released by the College Football Playoff committee on Tuesday night, with Big Ten rival Indiana right behind at No. 2.

Virginia, at No. 14, was the highest-rated ACC team.

Win or lose, the Red River Rivalry is the closest thing college football has to a mid-season bowl game. It is one of the few neutral site games and it is the only game that splits the seating down the 50-yard line instead of splitting the end zones.

Across the country are several Top-25 battles, including one within the Big Ten that could cause a cataclysmic shift in the College Football Playoff and conference rankings.
