College Football Playoff Rankings - Why You Shouldn't Be Mad

The first College Football Playoff Rankings came out tonight and if you were anyone but a Clemson, LSU, Ohio State or Alabama fan, you were a bit upset. Understandably so, considering Alabama has a loss and they were favored ahead of eight unbeaten teams. That doesn't mean it's time to freak out.

The obvious reason not to freak out is the fact that it's November 3 and these rankings, though they do matter right now, will likely change massively within the coming months. The board took a chance on putting two SEC teams in the top four, especially since they play each other this week, it's almost as if the board admitted that this rankings don't matter by putting them there.
