Summary
The Cover 3 crew shares instant reaction to the first playoff rankings. First, how the top four shakes out with Tennessee at No. 1 and Clemson snagging the No. 4 spot ahead of Michigan (2:00). Then, why TCU is the team that should feel most snubbed by the selection committee (9:20), LSU making a splash in the top 10 (11:27), the path for the Pac-12 to make the playoff (14:35) and much more!
