College Football Playoff Rankings prediction before Tuesday night's release. The undefeated Oregon Ducks hold the No. 1 spot, but what about the expected controversy when ranking No. 13 Alabama Crimson Tide and No.

The College Football Playoff selection committee released its fifth top-25 rankings and last one before unveiling the first 12-team playoff field. And unsurprisingly, the Oregon Ducks are still the No. 1 team, though there was plenty of movement after them.

Deion Sanders has promised no opt-outs for his star-driven football team, which makes the Buffaloes an attractive bowl team. And while this is a Big 12 vs. Big 12 matchup, the Alamo Bowl still has a Pac-12 legacy tie-in, which makes the Buffaloes eligible here. Colorado and BYU did not meet during the regular season.
