Florida Gators 10th, FSU football 16th in first college football playoff rankings

Florida (7-1) is No. 10 in the first set of the college football playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday night. Florida State (7-1) is 16th.

Clemson - the Seminoles' opponent this week - is No. 1, followed by LSU, Ohio State and Alabama.

Three teams from the American Athletic Conference cracked the top 25. Undefeated Memphis - whose resume includes a win over Ole Miss - was No. 13 and joined in the rankings by No. 22 Temple and No. 25 Houston.
