The College Football Playoff Committee will release their first rankings on Tuesday but the AP and Coaches polls are out today. It was a bad day for the Big 12 as their two remaining undefeated teams both lost on Saturday and dropped today. Many believe that the Big-12 is now already out of playoff contention.
It was also a day of close calls for other teams in the top 10. Michigan handled their business on the road against rival Michigan State. Clemson pulled out a 37-34 road win over Florida State. Washington went to Utah and picked up a hard-fought win in the mountains.
