The College Football Playoff committee released their first rankings of the season and I sat down to write some reflections on it last night.

This is what order looks like, apparently, because that’s what we’ve had up until November. Alabama has been #1 throughout the season, Clemson has maintained a top-ranking position, as has Michigan. Washington has been a surprise, but looks like they could easily win the Pac-12 and make the playoff.
The SEC West was a big winner with the Crimson Tide at #1, Texas A&M at #4 (!
