College Football Playoff Rankings Instant Reaction: Ohio State jumps Georgia, Michigan for No. 1 (10/31)

The Cover 3 crew reacts to the release of the first College Football Playoff rankings. First, a discussion of the top five teams and how the committee's ranking -- which includes Ohio State at No. 1 over Georgia and Michigan -- reflects that this group is valuing in its process (1:39). Then after a few key discussion points there are more team-specific conversations like why USC would be ranked highly without a lot of quality wins (17:55), comparing the Georgia and Florida State schedules (21:37) and much more.
