The Iowa Hawkeyes moved up to number 4 in the new College Football Playoff Rankings announced Tuesday.
The 11-0 Hawkeyes were ranked fifth last week. They would be in the playoff for the national title if the season were over now.
Clemson remains in the top spot at 11-0, followed by Alabama at number 2, and Oklahoma jumped over Iowa into the number 3 spot. Both Alabama and Oklahoma have one loss.
Michigan State is in the number 5 spot and Notre Dame dropped from fourth to sixth.
Iowa finishes the regular season at Nebraska Friday, and then will play in the Big 10 Title game on December 5th as the Big Ten West Division champion.
