Miami seizes No. 1 in season's first College Football Playoff rankings
Miami sits alone at the top of the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season, per the Associated Press. Georgia follows at No. 2, with Utah third and Indiana fourth. It's the earliest snapshot of how the committee sees the national picture.
Miami owns the top spot in the first College Football Playoff rankings of the season. The Hurricanes landed at No. 1 when the committee unveiled its initial ordering, according to the Associated Press. Georgia checked in right behind them.
The rest of the top four went Utah at No. 3 and Indiana at No. 4, giving the early bracket an unfamiliar look. That quartet is the committee's opening read on the season, and it arrived before any of them had a loss counted against them in this ranking.
The CFP rankings are the selection committee's own ordering of the country's best teams, and they carry more weight than the polls because they decide who plays for the national title. This first release is the starting point, not the finish line.
Indiana's place in the top four jumps out as the surprise of the group. The Hoosiers rarely get mentioned in this company, and now they open the committee's list ahead of every team in the country but three.
More rankings drop each week, so the order will shift as results come in. For now, Miami has the view from the top — and Georgia, Utah and Indiana are chasing.
