Opinion: The Nation’s Best

The College Football Playoff selection committee is releasing their first top 25 rankings on Tuesday, with plenty uncertainty as to who the top four teams in the nation will be.

With the college football season proving that anything can happen, it is almost impossible to figure out who the top four teams in the nation will be come January. This Saturday helped give some clarity for now, but many questions still remain.

The top two teams in the nation come out of the Southeastern Conference (SEC): the Alabama Crimson Tide and the Georgia Bulldogs. Alabama came in as the preseason favorite once again, behind coaching legend Nick Saban’s ferocious defense and the return of offensive stars Jalen Hurts and Bo Scarborough.
