The College Football Playoff committee released its penultimate rankings Tuesday night, and Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens, chairman of the committee, conducted a teleconference afterward. Here are the questions, answers and my responses:
ROB MULLENS: Our penultimate rankings are done. Here they are: Alabama is No. 1, Clemson is No. 2, Notre Dame is No. 3, and Georgia is No. 4. Six teams in last week's top 25 lost games, including three top 10 teams: Michigan, LSU and Washington State. As a result, Georgia moved from No. 5 to No. 4, Oklahoma moved from No. 6 to No.
