College Football Playoff Committee Chairman Boo Corrigan said Clemson’s overall resume allowed the Tigers to push ahead of Michigan in the initial College Football Playoff rankings.
Tennessee was atop the rankings, followed by Ohio State, Georgia and Clemson in the top four of the inaugural 2022 rankings released on Tuesday. Tennessee (8-0) is in the top spot because it has two wins over teams ranked in the top 10.
There are currently six teams at 8-0 in the rankings and they occupy six of the top seven spots. And there will be no more than five undefeated teams after Week 10.
