College Football Playoff Rankings: LSU Has A Genuine Path to the Playoff After the Latest Rankings Reveal

The latest College Football Playoff rankings have been released. There are two weeks until Selection Sunday.

The initial College Football Playoff rankings are based on the strength of schedule. The higher the number, the harder the schedule for a team.

Georgia Bulldogs remain as the No. 1 team in the College Football Playoff rankings. They are unbeaten in SEC for the second consecutive season. Their offense struggled to score more than once against Kentucky, but their defense is outstanding.

The Ohio State Buckeyes are ranked second in the latest CFP rankings. They are the favorite to represent the Big Ten in a possible playoff. The Buckeye's defense is ranked 10th in America. Their offensive balance is also a strength of their team. Ohio and Michigan play each other this weekend. The winner of the game will represent Big 10 in an upcoming playoff game.

The Michigan Wolverines are ranked third in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. Michigan's offense and defense are good for the CFP selection committee. They have to beat Ohio State and win the Big Ten title to advance to the final four. The team with the best record is LSU.

The CFP Selection Committee has voiced concern over the TCU defense and their reliance on coming from behind. The Horned Frogs need to keep their eyes in the rearview mirror for enemies advancing from the back.

LSU Tigers are ranked 5th in the latest College Football Playoff rankings. They are within touching distance of the final four. Their two losses are a major stumbling block to their selection to the CFP.

The Pac-12 champion will be crowned in a week's time. USC's win over UCLA has moved them up to sixth in the College Football Playoff rankings. They have a better offense than Michigan and TCU, a tougher strength of schedule than the Wolverines and a worse defense than them.
