Summary

Andy Staples and Matt Fortuna discuss, dissect and debate the first college football playoff rankings of the season. Is undefeated Cincinnati already on the outside looking in even with a top 10 win vs. Notre Dame? How many teams can make it from the SEC? The Big Ten is getting a lot of respect this year. Undefeated Oklahoma and Wake Forest are ranked behind four one-loss teams. It's playoff season, let the consternation begin.
