USA TODAY Sports' PaulMyerberg takes a shot at predicting the debut of the College Football Playoff rankings.
Let’s throw some darts at the wall in advance of Tuesday night’s release and try to predict the debut top 10. Look for debate across the board, beginning with which SEC teams lands at No. 1.It’s going to be Tennessee or Georgia, with the Volunteers’ case boosted by the strongest résumé of wins among the top contenders from the Power Five. Of the six wins against Bowl Subdivision competition, five are against teams with a non-losing record.
While Michigan has looked like the better team – and this eyeball test has been proven to be a huge part of the committee’s weekly evaluation – Clemson has three wins against teams currently ranked in Wake Forest, North Carolina State and Syracuse, along with a solid road win against Florida State. The important thing for Clemson is to be ahead of TCU, since the deadlock in the Big Ten East will be settled later this month, opening a path for the next-best team to enter the top four.
