There were no real surprises Tuesday night when the College Football Playoff Selection Committee released its weekly rankings. Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan and Clemson again took the top four spots.

Ohio State (10-1) remained No. 2 after a 17-16 win over Michigan State. The Buckeyes play No. 3 Michigan (10-1) on Saturday. But even if Ohio State wins, the Buckeyes may not reach the Big Ten championship game because of a 24-21 loss to Penn State on Oct.
