Alabama Football: Crimson Tide, Clemson and the Pretenders

There was no surprise at the top of the first CFB Selection Committee ranking Tuesday night. Alabama football was at the top, followed by Clemson. The only suspense was whether the No. 3 ranked team would be the Notre Dame Fighting Irish or the LSU Bengal Tigers.

The important top six are: 1) Alabama; 2) Clemson; 3) LSU; Notre Dame; 5) Michigan; 6) Georgia.

How do Alabama football fans feel about the first ranking? There are ho-hum responses. When the Alabama Crimson Tide is rightfully ranked No. 1, does it really matter how other teams are ranked?
