The CFP Rankings saw a shakeup this week and a team that scored 58 straight points and won by 45 fell out of the top four.
Florida State will be without quarterback Jordan Travis, who suffered a brutal leg injury in the win over North Alabama. Travis, a Heisman candidate, tweeted his college career is done.
Washington was the beneficiary of the Seminoles slipping as it moved into the fourth spot. The Huskies won at Oregon State, 22-20.
And this was said for the shift:

The Huskies play Washington State in the Apple Cup this week; the Seminoles face Florida.
Each school will be in its respective conference championship game.
FSU, which fell to fifth, will play Louisville in the ACC title game while Washington will either have a rematch with Oregon or face Arizona.
