College Football Playoff Week 14 Rankings

The Top 25 rankings were released tonight for college football and they are as follows; Alabama, Oregon, Florida State, and Mississippi State. Alabama, clearly the best team in the nation in my perspective, earns the top spot back to back weeks after six consecutive wins, including three top 25 teams such as Texas A&M, LSU and Mississippi State. Last on the schedule is a game at home versus #15 Auburn in the Iron Bowl. Alabama is led by QB Blake Sims who is a dual threat option, RB T.J. Yeldon, and Heisman hopeful WR Amari Cooper. The Oregon Ducks have played well all year long, despite the loss against Arizona. The Ducks have a very complex offensive system and they are one of the highest scoring offenses in college football at 45.8 points scored per game. Marcus Mariota has worked wonders for this team by dominating the competition at the QB position as a true dual threat, and he is currently the front runner to win the Heisman. Florida State needs no description to show their dominance each of the last two seasons as they defending champions hope to repeat as national champions. Jameis Winston is a true winner as the Seminoles have not lost in years and currently stand at 11-0. However, the Seminoles have had close calls against Miami (FL) and Boston College where the combined margin of victory was only seven points. Injuries have also plagued the team a bit, especially RB Karlos Williams. Last is Mississippi State. Who saw this coming? This resilient squad was not even ranked entering the season, but nine wins later, including wins against powerhouses LSU, Texas A&M and Auburn, the Bulldogs are not looking back. QB Dak Prescott has played brilliantly this season as well as RB Josh Robinson who has dominated opposing defenses. While the Bulldogs score 38 points per game, their defense is one of the strongest in the nation as they only allow 18.4 points per game. TCU and Ohio State, ranked 5 and 6 respectively, are right on the edge and they are great teams that are hot right now and will jump on any opportunity that they get. The first year of the College Football Playoff should be really special as anything can happen.
