The College Football Playoff Committee will meet for the first time this season in one week. That means that in just a few short days we will no longer be reliant on extrapolations from the AP poll and talking heads to determine which four teams sit atop the college football world. And while this will certainly do little to dull the constant and growing cacophony of discussion on who may deserve the top four spots, it at least gives both the fans and the teams an idea of what they need to do to find their way into the playoff.
