Craziness that can happen between the first and final playoff rankings

Barring a complete surprise Tuesday, the 13 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee should reveal a top four that includes Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Notre Dame tonight at 7 ET on College Football Playoff: Top 25 on ESPN, though the order is debatable.

If you are a superstitious fan of one of these teams, avoid the No. 3 spot at all costs, as the No. 3 team in the committee's initial ranking hasn't made the playoff yet. Notre Dame, which was No. 3 last year, can attest to this. The unlucky Irish finished 14th.
