With nine weeks in the books for the 2016 college football season, we were treated to some fantastic finishes in week nine. Clemson held on to take down Florida State in Tallahassee. Baylor, Nebraska, and West Virginia all suffered their first losses as they fell to conference foes on the road. Auburn rallied to beat an angry Ole Miss team that saw Chad Kelly break two of Eli Manning's Ole Miss passing records (attempts in a game and passing yards in a game). Tuesday brings us our first look at how the playoff committee will rank the top teams, with the top four advancing to the playoffs. Here is how I rank the top 25 after nine weeks.
1.) Alabama (8-0)
2.) Michigan (8-0)
3.) Washington (8-0)
4.) Clemson (8-0)
5.) Texas A&M (7-1)
6.) Ohio State (7-1)
7.) Wisconsin (6-2)
8.) Louisville (7-1)
9.) Nebraska (7-1)
10.) Auburn (6-2)
11.) Florida (6-1)
12.) Penn State (6-2)
13.) West Virginia (6-1)
14.) Baylor (6-1)
15.) Virginia Tech (6-2)
