BREAKING: LSU cracks top 15 in initial College Football Playoff rankings

LSU will have a chance to move up these rankings quite a bit with a win over Alabama.

The initial College Football Playoff rankings were released, and after being idle in Week 9 ahead of a crucial matchup against Alabama, LSU cracked the top 15.

The Tigers rank No. 13 in both polls this week, but in the debut CFP rankings, they come in at No. 14. Ahead of them is a one-loss Missouri team that they beat on the road.

There was also a major deviation up top, as Ohio State claimed the No. 1 spot over Georgia, which is the leader in both polls.

LSU will almost certainly jump into the top 10 of these rankings next week if it can knock off the Crimson Tide, which ranks No. 8, in Tuscaloosa on Saturday night.

Here’s how the full top 25 looks in the first CFP rankings of the year.
