College Football Playoff rankings: Ohio State debuts at No. 1 ahead of Michigan, Georgia and Florida State

Ohio State is the top team in the first set of College Football Playoff rankings.

Thanks to their wins over No. 11 Penn State and No. 15 Notre Dame so far this season, the CFP selection committee put the Buckeyes ahead of Georgia, Michigan, Florida State and Washington. Ohio State is the only team among the five unbeaten teams at the top of the rankings with two wins over teams in the top 15.

Georgia is at No. 2 ahead of Michigan likely because of its better strength of schedule.
