The official College Football Playoff rankings came out earlier in the week. Thus, every ranking you see in this week’s Viewing Guide and for all of the Viewing Guides for the rest of the season will be using those rankings instead of the Associated Press top 25 poll. May as well use the rankings that actually matter as much as “these are the teams in the playoff right now even though this won’t matter next week much less a month from now” rankings actually matter at all.
The marquee game of the day is one where we get to deviate from our usual College Football Anarchy Rules.
