College Football Playoff rankings: Race for No. 4 spot heats up

With convincing victories on Saturday by No. 1 LSU, No. 2 Ohio State and No. 3 Clemson and a tough road win by No. 4 Georgia, there shouldn't be any change this week in the College Football Playoff selection committee's top four. That doesn't mean, though, that the fourth spot will be a lock on Selection Day.

Far from it.

Assuming LSU, Ohio State and Clemson follow the script and keep winning over the next three weeks, there should be a good debate for the fourth spot, as an LSU win in the SEC championship game likely would eliminate Georgia.
