TCU still has Baylor beat in the College Football Playoff rankings -- even though the Bears got the better of the Horned Frogs on the field.

The Horned Frogs moved up to fourth in the rankings released Tuesday night, while the Bears were up to seventh, closing the gap between themselves and their Big 12 rivals.

"For the third consecutive week, the committee looked at the overall body of work, their strength of schedule, and looked at the number of top 25 wins," committee chairman Jeff Long said. "TCU has two top 25 wins and Baylor has one. And TCU's loss is a top-10 loss. When you put all those factors together, we still think at this time TCU has a better resume and was voted that way ahead of Baylor. "

Oregon (9-1) jumped undefeated Florida State and moved into second. The Seminoles (9-0) slipped to No. 3. Mississippi State remained No. 1.

The Ducks now have three wins against teams currently in the top 25 (Michigan State, UCLA, Utah). Florida State has beaten two teams in the top 25 (Notre Dame and Clemson).

Long said the committee had a long discussion about the merits of the Ducks and Seminoles, and decided to look beyond the record.

"It was a very close call, but the committee placed significant value on Oregon's quality of wins against three top 25 teams, two of which were on the road," Long said.
