The first edition of the 2015 College Football Playoff rankings were released Tuesday, with three of the teams expected to be there and the fourth not much of a surprise because of the SEC’s strong reputation as the best conference in the country.
It will not matter, though, since the second-ranked LSU Tigers (7-0) visit the fourth-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide (7-1) on Saturday, with the loser falling out of the top four.
The Tigers are led by Heisman Trophy favorite Leonard Fournette, who leads the nation in rushing with 1,352 yards and 15 touchdowns. While the Tide have a very good running back as well in Derrick Henry (1,044 yards and 14 touchdowns), Fournette will prove why he is the best player in the country.
