Clemson’s path to the College Football Playoff seems clear – win out and they’re in.
But with this committee, who knows?
The second College Football Playoff rankings were released Tuesday night, with LSU ascending from No. 2 to No. 1 after beating Alabama, which fell to No. 5. Ohio State and Clemson finished at No. 2 and No. 3, respectively.
Then came the biggest surprise of the night: Georgia moving up two spots from No. 6 to No. 4, with the worst loss (of any of the top teams) to lowly South Carolina. And that’s where the “who knows” part of this committee comes into play.
