College Football Playoff: Chop Chat’s First Playoff Rankings

The initial college football playoff rankings will be out soon. Of course the rankings are determined by a committee, but we did our own set of college football playoff rankings.

The initial college football playoff rankings will be announced November 1, 2016, at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

Below are the committee’s responsibilities according to the college football playoff website:

"Selection Committee Responsibilities"

"Rank the top 25 teams and assign the top four to semifinal sites."

"Assign teams to New Year’s bowls."

"Create competitive matchups."

"Attempt to avoid rematches of regular-season games and repeat appearances in specific bowls."

"Consider geography."

We’re a week early and not concerned with matching up the bowl games. We’re only listing OUR top 15 teams in the nation. In all likelihood the four teams that make the four team final playoff are already top 15 teams.

Let’s go!
