Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame lead Playoff ranking

Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State and Notre Dame are the top four teams in the latest College Football Playoff selection committee ranking released Tuesday.

Alabama and Notre Dame are ahead of three unbeaten teams, No. 5 Iowa, No. 6 Baylor and No. 8 Oklahoma State. But it must be remembered that these weekly rankings are only a progress report, and other ranking factors such as conference championships will hold great sway in the final ranking on Dec. 6.

The committee still may not be showing much value for Big 12 teams, as previously unbeaten TCU plummeted nine spots for losing at undefeated Oklahoma State on Saturday, but the Cowboys only moved up six spots.
