Tuesday night the College Football Playoff Committee released its third top 25 rankings of the year with LSU ranked No. 1, Ohio State two, Clemson three and Georgia four.
Alabama, who lost All-American quarterback Tua Tagovailoa for the year after having successful hip surgery on Monday, came in at No. 5 with Oregon at No. 6. Tagovailoa dislocated and fractured the wall of his hip in the Tide’s win at Mississippi State this past Saturday.
“Here’s what the committee was thinking: LSU remains impressive with its powerful offense. They have three wins against teams in the top 25,” CFP Chairman Rob Mullens said.
