The inaugural rankings for all 12 College Football Playoff teams are finally here. Caroline Fenton, Jason Fitz and Adam Breneman provide instant reactions to the top 25 ranked teams. What does this initial ranking tell us about what the CFP committee values about eye testing, schedule strength, and quality losses?
We know who the top-ranked teams are, but what does it all mean? Could 4 Big 10 teams realistically make the playoffs? What happens if BYU loses in the Big 12 title game and a previously unranked spoiler team wins a spot?
Caroline, Fitz and Adam preview the week’s biggest matchups, including Georgia on the road at Ole Miss, Alabama vs. LSU and a BYU rivalry game at Utah.
