The College Football Playoff Committee released its initial rankings Tuesday and the order of the top teams breaks with the national title odds at SI Sportsbook.
Tennessee earned the top spot, followed by Ohio State, Georgia and Clemson. All four teams are still undefeated, though at least one of them will have a loss after this week as the Bulldogs host the Volunteers in a battle of the top two teams in the AP Top 25 that has massive implications in the SEC East and beyond.
As far as national championship futures, Georgia and Ohio State are tied for the shortest odds at +200, followed by Alabama at +275 odds and then Tennessee at a distant +750 odds.
