1st CFB Playoff Rankings Released
Controversy here we come! Probably not with the #1 and #2 in the rankings but from there down look out.
#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.

NCAA Football Playoffs This Week? UPDATE
#1 Mississippi State gets by Kentucky 45-31
#2 Florida State Off
#3 Ole Miss loses to #24 LSU 10-7
#4 Alabama beats Tennessee 34-20
#5 Auburn over South Carolina 42-35
#6 Oregon outlasts Cal 59-41
#7 Notre Dame Off
#8 Michigan State decisively over Michigan 35-11
#9 Georgia Off
#10 TCU devours Texas Tech 82-27
The only team I can say for sure that will move in the rankings is #24 LSU. They will probably leapfrog several teams. I would not be surprised to see them at #15.
My prognostication is that Ole Miss drops to #6, Alabama moves up to #3 followed by Auburn at #4 and Oregon at #5. Michigan State will jump Notre Dame to take #7 with Notre Dame at #8 and TCU jumps Georgia to end at #9 with Georgia at #10.
Check my guesses on Sunday afternoon! I'll have the ranking update late tomorrow.

SEC's 5 Best Coodinators
Brad Crawford of saturdaydownsouth.com, has a really good article on the 5 best coordinators in the SEC. Also contained within the article is a link to one on the 5 worst coordinators...also a good read.
There are two defensive coordinators, 2 offensive coordinators and a running backs/recruiting coordinator listed.
The defensive coordinators are from Ole Miss and Georgia, the offensive coordinators from Alabama and Mississippi State and the running backs/recruiting coordinator is from LSU.
If you like the SEC, you'll love the article. If you tend to think the SEC is overrated you will scoff at any notion that any good thing could come from the SEC.
I'm a college football fan who likes well written articles about college football. Read Brad's article here, Regardless where you stand on the SEC, you'll have to admit this article is spot on.
