College Football Playoff rankings: Wisconsin ranked No. 9 in first 2017–18 release by committee

If the College Football Playoff started today, the Wisconsin Badgers would be on the outside looking in.

In the first rankings released this season by the selection committee on Tuesday, Wisconsin ranks No. 9. The top four teams in this initial reveal are, in order, Georgia, Alabama, Notre Dame, and Clemson.
