The new Playoff rankings show two likely locks for college football's final four ·

It appears that two teams are in.

Alabama, the only Power 5 undefeated team in the land, is still the obvious No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings. At No.2 is still Ohio State, who will be 11-1 on the season without a conference championship due to their loss to Penn State. However, since the other teams in contention all have two losses, it is unlikely that Ohio State drops three spots without a game this upcoming weekend.

With that, it looks like we have two spots left in the Playoff that Clemson and Washington can lock up with wins in their conference title games.

Where things can get interesting: if those teams lose, who is in? Does Colorado get in with a Pac-12 title win over Washington? Does Michigan or the Big Ten title game winner sneak in? A lot of interesting things could still happen.
