The first College Football Playoff rankings were revealed on Tuesday night, as we officially have a first glimpse of how the field of 12 currently looks.
We're not here to toot our own horn (okay, maybe a little!), but our projections aren't far off by any means!

10 | Boise State Broncos | MW Champion | 10 |
11 | Indiana Hoosiers | At-Large | NR |

Now, here's the first College Football Playoff top 25 list that was revealed just a few hours ago.
As you can see, all 12 of the teams I've included in my latest prediction made the cut. In fact, the first eight teams are all slotted correctly based on the projected bracket!
Now, my 9-12 teams need a little work in terms of order, but hey, at least I tabbed the right teams to make the cut!
While this is certain to change before the regular season comes to a close, it's great to see that we're on the right track with our projections. The hope is that it continues moving forward!
