Second set of College Football Playoff Rankings revealed
It’s the second week of all of these College Football Playoff rankings shenanigans and — at least for this week — there isn’t as much controversy as what we’ve seen in the past. Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, and TCU — the only four undefeated teams left in FBS — are among the top four.
From there, it’s an interesting lot, but it’s hard to argue too much about teams being slighted when you start to get further down the CFP rankings meaning the committee may have gotten tossed a softball this week. Still, it’s interesting to see where teams like Tennessee, LSU, and Alabama reside with just three weeks to go in the regular season.
It probably won’t be as easy in the upcoming weeks, especially after rivalry week and the conference championship games that tend to provide a slew of upsets.
In case you didn’t get a chance to catch the entire College Football Playoff top 25 rankings we’ve got them for you. Here’s a look at No. 25 through No. 1 after 10 weeks of the college football season.
