The initial College Football Playoff rankings were unveiled on Tuesday night. Some teams had to feel like they were tricked, while others felt like the rankings were quite the treat on Halloween night.
The debate going in focused on which of the undefeated Power Five teams would be on top if the heap. Would it be Florida State, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State or Washington? What about the one-loss Texas, Oregon and Alabama, and what happens with the non-Power Five schools?
That was all answered Tuesday live on ESPN with plenty of commentary and opinions sure to follow. If you are reading this, there’s no doubt you landed here because you too are interested in what the rankings were.
Here’s the complete College Football Playoff rankings after Week 1, with the top ten first, followed by the rest of the top 25 teams.
