Many fans disagreed with new college football rankings for the playoffs that were released on ESPN on Tuesday. The playoff committee went with this for their top-six teams:
- Ohio State
- Georgia
- Michigan
- Florida State
- Washington
- Oregon

The playoff committee differed quite a bit from the Associated Press’ top-25 list. They still have the defending National Champions, Georgia, as their number-one team. Michigan follows the Bulldogs, and they’re one spot above Ohio State.
However, the playoff committee is rewarding Ohio State for its schedule this season. They have impressive wins over Notre Dame and Penn State.
But the committee is completely ignoring the Pac 12, as Washington, who was a win over Oregon, is left sitting outside the top four.
Fans vent on new college football rankings
Fans took to social media to disagree with the committee’s rankings. Some fans think the playoff is “rigged” to favor Ohio State and Big Ten. Here are the best takes on social media about the initial playoff rankings for this season.

The ridiculous love affair CFP has with Ohio State is beyond stupid. I see 3 teams in the top 5 that are better than OSU. I would put money on Washington, Georgia and FSU against Ohio State. Need to see Michigan/Penn State first.
