| The College Football Playoff committee dealt its first set of https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Sam_Waardenburg_Jersey rankings on Tuesday, and the biggest takeaway from the first shuffle is they got it right for now.Now, they can sit back and let the top-five teams all unbeaten sort it out in the regular season. It might be a surprise to some that Ohio State is No. 1 given, LSU and Alabama hold the top two spots in the AP Top 25 and Coaches Poll ahead of their "Game of the Century" on Saturday. LSU is No. 2 and Alabama is No. 3 in the CFP rankings.The other small surprise would be at No. 4, where Penn State jumped over fifth-ranked, defending national champion Clemson. You know what? All of that looks good for now. Every one of those top-five teams has a card they can play right now:MORE: Ohio State (8-0) can play the eye-test card. The Buckeyes have beaten their eight opponents by an average of more than 40 points per game under first-year coach Ryan Day. They deserve to be No. 1.LSU (8-0) has the quality victory card. The Tigers have three victories against teams ranked (at the time) in the top 10. Those teams are Texas, Florida and Auburn. If the Tigers were No. 1, then that would be fine, too.Alabama (8-0) is in the right spot at No. 3. The Crimson Tide have played a soft schedule to this point https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Jimmy_Graham_Jersey , but they will jump up to No. 2 or perhaps even No. 1 if they https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Duke_Johnson_Jersey beat the Tigers on Saturday. For Alabama fans, not being No. 1 might turn out to be a ble sing. They failed to win the national title when they opened at No. 1 in 2016 and 2018. Chances are Nick Saban knows all this.Penn State (8-0) can play the strength-of-victory card knowing they beat No. 14 Michigan (7-2), No. 18 Iowa (6-2) and have a date with No. 17 Minnesota (8-0) this weekend. The Nittany Lions were rewarded for that strong schedule, and James Franklin doesn't have to politick like 2016. If Penn State wins, then they will be in.Clemson (9-0) can still play the defending national champion-on-a-24-game-win streak card. In turn, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney can play the disrespect card.MORE: Those teams really are five of a kind. On some level, all five coaches should be happy with the results. Plus, those who say there's an inherent SEC or Big Ten bias don't have much of a case. Those have been the two best conferences, and that is reflected with 11 of the top 25 teams hailing from one of those conferences.Ohio State might be No. 1 now, but if you envision this like a game of poker then either Alabama or LSU will take down the biggest pot this weekend. That's why neither one of those teams should be concerned with their ranking right now.The best part? https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Rodney_Miller_Jr_Jersey Those Alabama-LSU and Ohio State-Penn State games will knock two of those unbeatens off. That's when the https://www.prohurricanesstore.com/Brad_Kaaya_Jersey real fun begins. It's feasible three teams could finish undefeated, leaving a scramble one-lo s teams vying for the final spot. Those teams could include teams such as No. 6 Georgia (7-1), No. 7 Oregon (7-1), No. 8 Utah (7-1) and No. 9 Oklahoma (7-1).Again, the committee can sit back and watch. They always leave room for arguments, and Clemson is the one that could take off over the next few days. But given how they stacked up the top five, it's clear this committee brought its "A game" to start the proce s in 2019.Now, can they keep that going in the coming weeks? |
