Here is my first attempt at a top 25 for the year. I will continue to update these each week around the same time the committee announces their rankings. This week they come in after the
committee's list, but in the future I'll try to get mine out before they release theirs.
The playoff field (for now):
1. LSU (7-0), SEC
They boast an impressive victory over Florida, but otherwise their schedule is back-loaded. Keep winning and they will stay on top.
2. Clemson (8-0), ACC
The Tigers' win over Notre Dame is what sets them apart from many other undefeated squads. If they can beat Florida State and win the ACC, they will likely be in the playoff.
3. Ohio State (8-0), B1G
The Buckeyes are defending champs, but lack a signature victory. With a tough November slate coming up, that could change, though.
4. Iowa (8-0), B1G
No one is giving the Hawkeyes much love, but you can't deny what they've done. They have beaten quality teams in Pitt and Wisconsin. They might not be flashy, but they get the job done.
