Week 10 of the College Football is season bring new excitement after the first College Football Playoff rankings were released on Tuesday. Many were surprised to see Ohio State ranked as the top team despite ESPN BET listing Michigan (+225), Georgia (+250) and Florida State (+600) with shorter odds than the Buckeyes (+700) to win the National Championship.
