The initial College Football Playoff rankings came out Wednesday night with Ohio State, Georgia, Michigan, and Florida State as the Top-4 teams.

This season will be the final year of a four-team playoff before we switch to a 12-team bracket next season.

In a 12-team playoff, here's what the bracket would look like:


With Ohio State as the top seed and the hypothetical Big Ten Champion, Michigan would drop to the No. 5 seed as an at-large bid. Washington would get the No. 4 seed as the hypothetical Pac-12 Champ.

The first round would look like:

No. 12 Tulane at No. 5 Michigan
No. 9 Oklahoma at No. 8 Alabama
No. 11 Penn State at No. 6 Oregon
No. 10 Ole Miss at No. 7 Texas

Ohio State, Georgia, Florida State, and Washington would get first-round byes.

Missouri and Louisville would be the first-two teams left out of the 12-team bracket.

Thoughts?

Seeing Tulane in there almost invalidates college football as a whole now. They can’t expect me to take that seriously.

Tulane in...what a joke. Success in an inferior conference means NOTHING. It's like being the toughest kindergartener.

If Mizzou is #12 in the rankings, how are they left out?

I think b/c the highest ranked non power 5 conf member gets a bid which is bs. You should only get a bid if you're in the top 12.Honestly it should only be 6-8 teams but I digress...

The first round games would be at the higher ranked team's stadium. The next round incorporates the NY6 bowls.
