The first official College Football Playoff Selection Committee rankings are out for the 2015 season.
The top four teams in order this week are Clemson, LSU, Ohio State and Alabama. Two Texas schools cracked the top 10, with Baylor coming in at #6 and TCU ranked #8.
The committee's rankings will be announced on ESPN each Tuesday evening for the next four weeks.
The American Dream City hosted the first-ever College Football Playoff National Championship at AT&T Stadium on January 12, 2015 and will once again play a significant role in the festivities in 2016.
The 80th Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic at AT&T Stadium in Arlington will serve as the College Football Playoff Semifinal game on December 31, 2015.
Since making the move to AT&T Stadium, the Classic has sold out each of the last six years and generated four of the top five largest crowds in the 79-year history of the Cotton Bowl.
