FOX Sports' Joel Klatt shared what he liked and disliked about the College Football Playoff selection committee's first set of rankings.
season, and I have a confession to make: I believe we have more teams than ever before that can be involved in the College Football Playoff and national title hunt, and that is reflected in the first set of CFP rankings, which were released Tuesday night.
You could see this coming, and I don't have a problem with it. Ohio State is a damn good football team. It's a different Ohio State team than what it's been over the past three years, and maybe this will be a blueprint for the Buckeyes that will pay better dividends for them at the tail of this season.
That's why the composition of the committee is so flawed and broken. Why do we have people directly associated with the schools who are tied with the monetization of the CFP and what it means to the schools? They don't want to have to answer questions from other athletic directors, media members like me and fans like you. So, this is what you get, the path of least resistance.
If Penn State beats Michigan, it has a path to potentially get into the playoff. If it wins the three-team tiebreak with Michigan and Ohio State for the Big Ten East , it goes to the Big Ten Championship Game with just one loss. The Nittany Lions' other path is to take care of business against Michigan, and if Ohio State also beats Michigan, they can make it into the playoff similar to the way the Buckeyes made it last year.
