WVU 20th In First Playoff Rankings

Last night the playoff committee released their very first playoff rankings. The first three teams are no suprise: Alabama, Clemson and Michigan. While Michigan is #2 in the AP and USA Today, they are number 3 in the playoff rankings. Number 4 however went to Texas A&M. Voters were obviously swayed by the "best loss" argument over the "Washington hasn't lost this season" that most people would use.

6-2 Wisconsin and Auburn are both in the top ten ahead of four teams with only one loss. Penn State comes in at number 12, thanks to their win over then #2 Ohio State in Happy Valley.
