Thefirst rankings from the College Football Playoff committee were released Tuesday evening with some surprises among the top four teams.
At the top are two unbeaten SEC teams in Georgia and Alabama. The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide are in opposite order in major polls. However, committee chairman Kirby Hocutt noted Georgia’s wins against No. 3 Notre Dame and No. 16 Mississippi State as the reason for putting Kirby Smart’s team ahead of the Alabama, which has no wins among teams in the top 25 in the rankings.
A weekend filled with high-profile matchups produced plenty of changes in the Amway Coaches Poll, though once again, the top-ranked team is as it has been all season. Alabama, which had the weekend off, is still the unanimous No. 1.
After that, the shuffling begins. Georgia climbs to No. 2 after dispatching archrival Florida. The Bulldogs appear to be on a collision course with the Crimson Tide in a month for the SEC title. Ohio State, the big winner of the weekend thanks to its comeback win against Penn State, vaults from sixth to No. 3 ahead of Wisconsin. Clemson, which got back on track with a win against Georgia Tech, is back in the top five.
After the crazy results from the previous college football weekend, Week 8 proved comparatively tame. As a result, the Amway Coaches Poll reflects few changes, with the same 25 teams still ranked. The order shifts a bit in places, but not around the top as the first six teams stay put.
Alabama is still the unanimous choice for No. 1 after a workmanlike smothering of struggling Tennessee. Penn State solidified its hold on the second position with a convincing triumph over Michigan. Georgia, which had the weekend off, holds steady at No. 3 with unbeatens TCU and Wisconsin rounding out the top five.
Ohio State, which hosts Penn State next week, remains No. 6. In a minor change, idle Clemson edges ahead of Miami (Fla.) for the No. 7 spot.
There’s at least one week like this every college football season, when a seemingly innocuous slate of games produces a slew of surprises.
Top-ranked Alabama, however, was not among the Week 7 upset victims. The Crimson Tide dispatched Arkansas and are now the unanimous No. 1 team in the Amway Coaches Poll.
The rest of the top five looks considerably different. Penn State, which picked a good week to have a bye, moves up to the No. 2 spot in the wake of Clemson’s loss to Syracuse. The Tigers tumbled to No. 8 as a result. Georgia, which got an early challenge before putting away Missouri, climbs to No. 3. TCU, the last unbeaten Big 12 squad, vaulted into the No. 4 spot ahead of No. 5 Wisconsin.
The Week 5 results produced little movement in the Amway Coaches Poll as the top teams for the most part held serve.
Alabama easily retains the No. 1 ranking after a 66-3 demolition of Mississippi. The Crimson Tide, who have outscored their first two SEC opponents by a combined margin of 125-3, received 59 of 65 first-place votes.
Clemson, a road winner at then-No. 12 Virginia Tech, stays put at No. 2 with the remaining six first-place nods. No. 3 Oklahoma, which had the weekend off, and fourth-ranked Penn State, an easy winner against Indiana, also maintain their positions. Washington, now the highest ranked Pac-12 member, climbs a notch into the top five.
A classier looking strip mall, but still a strip mall. I couldn’t find the exact location. It was in here somewhere.

The Texans might have finally found a QB in Deshaun Watson.
I might be wrong but I feel like at this point pretty much everyone knows who Deshaun Watson is, especially after his college days at Clemson. There was a point where everyone was talking up Watson to the point where we said he should be the #1 pick in whatever draft he entered. That obviously did not come to fruition but as of right now it looks like him falling in the draft ultimately worked…
Night rides + Tron Legacy soundtrack, almost as great as that national championship feeling. #Honda #xr650l #xrandchill #motorcycles #dualsport #clemson (at Death Valley - Clemson University)
