Predicting the First College Football Playoff Rankings of 2018

After nine hard-fought weeks filled with upsets, otherwordly QB play, Peak Dad-level postgame dancing and plenty more, we get to start yelling about playoff rankings once again this week at long last.

The College Football Playoff selection committee will release its first set of rankings on Tuesday at 7 p.m. ET, live on ESPN. It would be shocking if the top two isn't some ordering of Alabama and Clemson. Likewise, unbeaten Notre Dame will be somewhere in the top four. The real debate begins with what team deserves to get the other playoff spot right now.
