College Football Playoff rankings: Tennessee, Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson lead first top 25
American college football
Early games appear to have had much in common with the traditional "mob football" played in Great Britain. The games remained largely unorganized until the 19th century, when intramural games of football began to be played on college campuses. Each school played its own variety of football. Princeton University students played a game called "ballown" as early as 1820. A Harvard tradition known as "Bloody Monday" began in 1827, which consisted of a mass ballgame between the freshman and sophomore classes. In 1860, both the town police and the college authorities agreed the Bloody Monday had to go. The Harvard students responded by going into mourning for a mock figure called "Football Fightum", for whom they conducted funeral rites. The authorities held firm and it was a dozen years before football was once again played at Harvard. Dartmouth played its own version called "Old division football", the rules of which were first published in 1871, though the game dates to at least the 1830s. All of these games, and others, shared certain commonalities. They remained largely "mob" style games, with huge numbers of players attempting to advance the ball into a goal area, often by any means necessary. Rules were simple, violence and injury were common.[6][7] The violence of these mob-style games led to widespread protests and a decision to abandon them. Yale, under pressure from the city of New Haven, banned the play of all forms of football in 1860.[6]
American football historian Parke H. Davis described the period between 1869 and 1875 as the 'Pioneer Period'; the years 1876–93 he called the 'Period of the American Intercollegiate Football Association'; and the years 1894–1933 he dubbed the "Period of Rules Committees and Conferences".
The first College Football Playoff rankings are here. No. 1 Tennessee, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Georgia and No. 4 Clemson made up the top four spots as revealed Tuesday night. No. 5 Michigan and No. 6 Alabama came in next.
Before we dig into what to know in the poll, here's the top 25:
College Football Playoff rankings: Top 25 for Week 10
With the top 25 poll here, let's take a look at some of the storylines:
The debate over No. 1
Georgia? Ohio State? Tennessee? It seemed like those three teams had the best chance to grab the first No. 1 ranking in the CFP. In the end, the committee went with Tennessee and the Vols' collection of impressive wins over No. 10 LSU and No. 6 Alabama. Tennessee also just crushed Kentucky by 38 this past weekend. Meanwhile, Ohio State's stars dominated late to help the Buckeyes own the fourth quarter and beat Penn State by 13 on the road. No. 3 Georgia opened the season by crushing current No. 8 Oregon by 46. But OSU and UGA each have just that one win against a CFP-ranked team.
Tennessee will be tested right away as No. 1, however, as the Volunteers visit No. 3 Georgia on Saturday. So the order of Tennessee-Ohio State-Georgia may look very different next week.
WHAT'S NEXT: Here's the Week 10 TV schedule
Here's what the semifinals would look like
Of course, there are a lot — like, a lot — to be decided on the field, but if the season were to end today, these would be the semifinals:
- No. 1 Tennessee vs. No. 4 Clemson
- No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 Georgia
Three of the four teams here have made the CFP previously and even won CFP national championships, with Georgia the defending national champion. The only one of the four that would be making its CFP semifinals debut is Tennessee — and the Vols are the season's first No. 1 in the CFP.
How the committee ranked the six undefeated teams
There are six FBS teams still dreaming of an unbeaten season. These six are all ranked in the first seven spots, with one-loss No. 6 Alabama ranking one spot higher than undefeated TCU. This is much different than last year when four of the last six undefeated teams in the first CFP poll were outside the top four: Cincinnati was No. 6, Oklahoma came in No. 8, Wake Forest was ninth and UTSA wasn't in the first poll.
Here's the undefeated list for 2022 and where they rank in the first CFP top 25:
- No. 1 Tennessee
- No. 2 Ohio State
- No. 3 Georgia
- No. 4 Clemson
- No. 5 Michigan
- No. 7 TCU
PERFECT: Here are the remaining undefeated FBS teams
