It is no surprise to see Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Notre Dame in the top four spots of the initial College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday.
However, there is a very good chance that one or more of those teams may not be among the top four teams that are in the playoffs at the end of the season.
The LSU Tigers have been one of the best stories in college football to this point in the season. They were not expected to be a top-10 or even top-20 team by many of the preseason college football publications.
