The College Football Playoff selection committee released its second set of rankings Tuesday night. Here are three thoughts from the playoff committee's first top 25:
1. Washington takes over fourth spot in rankings
After being topped by Texas A&M in last week's rankings, the Washington Huskies took advantage of the Aggies' loss to claim the No. 4 spot this week. Quarterback Jake Browning continues to impress each week, and Washington has been dominating its weaker opponents in recent weeks. As an undefeated Power 5 conference team, it would have been very difficult to explain denying the Huskies for a second straight week.
