Memphis football is unranked in the initial College Football Playoff rankings — but the Tigers are still in the projected 12-team playoff field. The playoff committee released its first rankings on Nov. 4, and the Tigers (8-1, 4-1 American Conference) did not crack the Top 25. No Group of Five team made the rankings.

The top four seeds remain unchanged on the College Football Playoff bracket based on The Associated Press Top 25 released Sunday, but three of the four first-round matchups would change and Memphis returned as the Group of Five representative.
