Ohio State, TCU walk away as the biggest winners following the release of the final College Football Playoff rakings, PaulMyerberg writes.
Just outside the top four came No. 5 Alabama and No. 6 Tennessee, as the committee continued to ignore the Volunteers' head-to-head win against the Crimson Tide earlier this season. The Volunteers and No. 7 Clemson will meet in a very orange Orange Bowl;No. 10 USC will draw the best team in the Group of Five, No.
And last year's Bulldogs lost the SEC championship game to Alabama before beating Michigan 34-11 in the Orange and defeating the Crimson Tide 33-18 in the rematch. Sometimes, these late-season losses can force teams to exhale, take a step back and reevaluate things heading into postseason play. After a somewhat sloppy but still effective regular season, the Buckeyes could be recharged by the loss to Michigan.The big fear for the Horned Frogs coming out of the narrow loss to Kansas State wasn't whether they'd be jumped by Ohio State but whether the committee would give Alabama the benefit of the doubt at the Frogs' expense.
