The first College Football Playoff ranking is out and there are two big surprises in the top four.

The first surprise is at the top of the rankings where Georgia is ranked No. 1 over fellow SEC powerhouse Alabama, who is ranked second. The other big surprise is Notre Dame ranked third, despite already suffering one loss.

The defending national champs Clemson are fourth, with Oklahoma and Ohio State as the first two on the outside, looking in.

Here is what the playoff would look like if the season were to end today (via ESPN).
