#1 Mississippi State and #2 Florida State are the two undefeated teams left. Right now they deserve their ranking.
One would think that Ole Miss would have fallen farther than 4th with the loss to LSU.
"Head to head is important, but it's not the only factor, obviously," Playoff selection committee chairman Jeff Long said.
"We're still early in this process," Long added.
#3 Auburn and #4 Ole Miss would be in if this was selection week. Oregon comes in at #5 followed by Alabama, TCU, Michigan State, Kansas State and Notre Dame at #10.
