Alabama No. 1 in the CFP rankings

CFP Trophy

The College Football Playoff selection committee released their new rankings. Unlike previous weeks, the Top 4 welcomed new members while also saying goodbye to originals. In the first two rankings, Georgia was No. 1, Alabama was No. 2, Notre Dame was No. 3 and Clemson was No. 4.

Alabama faces Mercer from the FCS on Saturday on the road this weekend in Starkville. They are tops in the Southeast.

Auburn, who is ranked No. 6 in the new poll, will play Louisiana-Monroe.

With Auburn moving up after dominating formerly No. 1 ranked Georgia, the stakes of the Iron Bowl one week from Saturday are suddenly much more serious than anyone expected they would be just a few weeks ago.
