The College Football Playoff (CFP) committee released their first installment of their rankings for the 2022 season tonight. Unlike in the past, this season has invited more parity at the top and a reasonable argument could be made for several teams to be inside the top four.
For their initial rankings, Tennessee (previous highest ranking was No. 23 in 2015) has claimed the top spot, followed by Ohio State, Georgia and Clemson.
Undefeated Michigan sits at No. 5 — the Wolverines’ highest initial ranking in the CFP Poll since their debut at No. 3 in 2016 — and the one-loss Alabama Crimson Tide are No.
