The first College\nFootball Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday, giving teams an\nindication of where they currently sat in the eyes of the Selection\nCommittee. That led to some moderate shifts in the most recent CFP\nbetting odds<\/a> with a new favorite emerging. Ohio State\nwas the No. 1 team in the first rankings, and that led to the odds on\nthe Buckeyes to drop below those of both Alabama and Clemson. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alabama is out to\nmove up from No. 3 in the CFP rankings, and the Crimson Tide will get\na chance to possibly surpass Ohio State with a win over No. 2 LSU in\nTuscaloosa. This game is the most anticipated tilt of the season to\nthis point, and Alabama is currently -5.5 against LSU per the most\nrecent college\nfootball betting line<\/a>. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nick Saban\nannounced earlier this week that he expects star quarterback Tua\nTagovailoa to play against LSU. That\u2019s huge since Mac Jones is a\nsignificant downgrade from Tagovailoa, but we have no idea how close\nto 100 percent Tagovailoa will be on Saturday afternoon. He is\ndealing with a high ankle sprain, and he needs to be at least\nsomewhat mobile to keep LSU off balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some have\nspeculated that this game could be a must-win for Alabama. The\nCrimson Tide\u2019s best victory to date is over Texas A&M, and if\nthey don\u2019t beat LSU, their only remaining quality opponent is\nAuburn. They don\u2019t have the strength of schedule they usually do\nthanks to a very soft non-conference slate, so they will need some\nhelp from others to make the CFP if they lose to LSU for the first\ntime since 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, LSU can probably afford a loss to Alabama due to its fantastic strength of schedule. The Tigers have impressive\nvictories over Texas, Florida, and Auburn to their credit, and they\nare playing the Crimson Tide on the road. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bayou Bengals\nhave the current\nfavorite to win the Heisman Trophy<\/a> in Joe Burrow, and\nthe LSU signal caller\u2019s play gives the Tigers the best chance of\nbeating Alabama they have had in some time. We have seen LSU\u2019s odds\ndrop from +700 to +375 over the last month as more people are\nbelieving in the Tigers, and a win over Alabama on Saturday would\nmake them the favorite to win the national championship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ohio State has\nbeen extremely impressive this season. The Buckeyes have thrashed all\neight of their opponents, and that has led to this team becoming the\nfavorite\nto win the national championship<\/a>. They have nice wins\nover Cincinnati and Wisconsin, but their two toughest opponents are\nstill to come. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Buckeyes will\nplay Penn State and Michigan in back-to-back weeks to end the regular\nseason, and that will determine their chances to make the CFP. The\nNittany Lions could beat out Ohio State for a spot in the Big Ten\nChampionship Game with a win over the Buckeyes, so Ohio State can\u2019t\nafford a loss. They also can\u2019t afford to lose Justin Fields either\nas the quarterback depth is non-existent behind Fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clemson is in an\ninteresting position. The Tigers are the defending national\nchampions, and they are undefeated with the longest winning streak in\nthe nation, but they were No. 4 in the initial CFP due to the\nstrength of the ACC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ACC is having an awful season. Wake Forest is the only other ranked team in the conference, as every other team in the ACC has at least three losses. Clemson is expected to cruise to wins in its final three games and in the ACC Championship Game, but if the Tigers slip up, they could be in real trouble. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
