As we wait for tonight’s much anticipated unveiling of the first college football playoff rankings of the season, I want to remind you of last season’s initial rankings. You know, the rankings that had Ohio State 16th. The rankings that had three of the top four spots dedicated to SEC teams, and had our Baylor Bears ranked 13th.
These rankings mean everything and nothing at the same time at this point of the year. Sure, you want to be as close to the top as possible, but Mississippi State held the top spot last year and ended up sixth when the final rankings came out.
