It’s a good thing the only poll that matters is the College Football Playoff rankings. Well, at least for now. We’ll find out if I will still be saying that on Tuesday night when those are released.
But after a week in which Georgia did not look particularly great in a 19-13 win over Texas A&M in Athens, CBS Sports dropped the Bulldogs one spot in its rankings, swapping them with Alabama. The Dawgs remained No. 4 in both the Amway Coaches Poll and the AP Top 25.

CBS Sports’ new-top is as follows:
1. LSU
2. Ohio State
3. Clemson
4. Alabama
5. Georgia
6. Utah
7. Oklahoma
8. Florida
9. Minnesota
10. Baylor
Alabama looked good, sure. But it was against Western Carolina. The Tide may very well still be able to win a national championship over any of the playoff committee’s top-four teams, but if you don’t win your conference, let alone your division, you should not be given the opportunity to prove that.
Here is my prediction for what the College Football Playoff rankings will look like on Tuesday night.
