After the announcement of the second College Football Playoff rankings on ESPN on Tuesday night, CFP Selection Committee chair Rob Mullens spoke about a number of topics surrounding the rankings:
Mullens on why each team in the top 4 is ranked where they are:
- LSU has four wins against top-20 teams, the most of any team in the nation. LSU’s win on the road against Alabama was impressive. Its offense is explosive. LSU is ranked No. 1.
- Ohio State is ranked No. 2. It continues to play at a consistently high level on both sides of the ball.
