On Tuesday night the College Football Playoff committee released their top 25 rankings with Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Notre Dame rounding out the top four in that order.
The complete top 25 rankings are below
1. Alabama (8-0)
2. Clemson (8-0)
3. LSU (7-1)
4. Notre Dame (8-0)
5. Michigan (7-1)
6. Georgia (7-1)

10. Ohio State (7-1)
11. Florida (6-2)
12. UCF (7-0)
13. West Virginia (6-1)

21. NC State (5-2)
22. Boston College (6-2)
23. Fresno State (7-1)
24. Iowa State (4-3)
25. Virginia (6-2)
Playoff implications are set to change drastically one way or another as No. 1 Alabama is set for a major showdown with No. 3 LSU this Saturday in the Bayou.
Elsewhere, No. 5 Michigan will be tested at home vs No. 14 Penn State while No. 6 Georgia and No. 9 Kentucky do battle Lexington.
Consider the chaos of an Alabama loss, do they drop out of the top five? Does LSU jump Clemson for the No. 1 spot?
In an unlikely scenario, Kentucky could move all the way up to the No. 3 spot or No. 4 spot with a win over Georgia and a upset loss from anyone in the top four.
