The Bears and Tide are two teams to keep your eyes on Tuesday, when the College Football Playoff selection committee releases its first rankings of 2015.
The College Football Playoff selection committee pushed back this season’s first set of rankings by a week due to the season itself being one week shorter. If only they’d thought to delay them even further, until after this weekend, which features three games — LSU (7-0) at Alabama (7-1), Florida State (7-1) at Clemson (8-0) and TCU (8-0) at Oklahoma State (8-0) — pitting short-list playoff contenders.
Presumably we’ll know a lot more then than we do now.
