Texas A&M was ranked fourth behind Alabama, Clemson and Michigan in the seasons first College Football Playoff rankings.The Aggies (7-1) surprisingly were a spot ahead of unbeaten Washington on Tuesday in the first of six selection committee rankings. The Crimson Tide (8-0), Tigers (8-0), Wolverines (8-0) and Huskies (8-0) are the only remaining undefeated teams from Power Five conferences and hold the top four spots in the latest Associated Press poll .The 12-person committee, however, gave a nod to Texas A&Ms strength of schedule.Ohio State was sixth and Louisville was seventh.In the first two seasons of the College Football Playoff, only one team each season made the committees initial top four and the final four.The final rankings will be released Dec. 4, with the top four teams moving on to the College Football Playoff semifinals on Dec. 31 at the Fiesta and Peach bowls.A look at what matters in the rankings and what they mean moving forward:DONT PANIC HUSKIESSelection committee chairman Kirby Hocutt, Texas Techs athletic director who is now in the role that Arkansas AD Jeff Long held the firsts two seasons of the CFP, made it very clear that Texas A&Ms four victories against teams with winning records (Auburn, Arkansas, Tennessee and South Carolina -- though it should be noted the Gamecocks are 4-4) provided the margin over Washington. The Huskies have two such victories.We had a lengthy discussion on the spot, Hocutt said. Washington is a well-balanced team and they had a good win on the road against Utah. But in the committees mind Texas A&M has played a stronger schedule.The good news is there is room for the Huskies to grow. Washington still has USC and Washington State on its schedule and a possible Pac-12 championship game, which could be against Utah (16th in the committees rankings), Colorado (15th) or USC, which would need a strong finish to get there. A big stretch run by Stanford would also help the Huskies.Oregon being terrible is hurting the Huskies, who are getting little credit for pounding the Ducks. Another reason for Washington fans to hate Oregon.Most important is this: The Huskies control their path to a Pac-12 championship and Texas A&M does not. The Aggies will need Alabama to lose at least a couple of times to reach the Southeastern Conference championship game.The committee is told when considering similar teams to weigh conference championships like a tiebreaker.If Washington wins out, the Huskies should be fine to get into the top four. If they win the Pac-12 but lose once along the way, it could get a little dicey for the Huskies when matched against an 11-1 A&M team that has lost only to Alabama.A prediction: If it comes down to Pac-12 champion Washington at 12-1 and Texas A&M at 11-1, the Huskies will get that spot. Now if Alabama were to be the team 11-1 instead of A&M that would be a different story.CARDINALS MAYBE SHOULD PANICLouisville will need two losses from Clemson to have a chance to win the Atlantic Coast Conference championship. Because that is probably not happening, the Cardinals are hoping to be impressive enough to get into the top four without a conference title.The first rankings do not look promising for the Cardinals.Hocutt again cited strength of schedule when talking about Louisville. The Cardinals only victory against a winning team was against Florida State. That was a 63-20 win that very well might rate as the best singular performance by any team this season. The Cardinals next most notable game was a close loss at Clemson.Want to call out the committee? Michigan at No. 3 is benefiting from home victories against eighth-ranked Wisconsin, Colorado and Penn State, No. 12 in the rankings thanks to upsetting Ohio State. However, using the Sagarin Computer ratings, Michigans strength of schedule is 49th in the nation. Louisvilles is 52nd. Washington is 69th.The Cardinals have games remaining against Wake Forest, Houston and Kentucky, all winning teams but none ranked.The takeaway for Louisville: The Cardinals will need a ton of help to get in the playoff.MARGIN OF VICTORYHocutt pointed out the committee does not look at margin of victory, which is sort of ridiculous.The conference commissioners who set up the playoff protocol get hung up on the idea of not encouraging teams to run up the score, so there is no margin of victory metric. But there is no way the committee can evaluate teams properly while looking only at a W or L and not the final score.GROUP OF FIVEUnbeaten Western Michigan at No. 23 is the highest ranked team from the Group of Five, just ahead of Boise State at 24. The Broncos probably cant afford even one loss, but if they can make a perfect run to a Mid-American Conference title, a Cotton Bowl bid likely awaits. y3 Sale Uk .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play. y-3 Trainers Uk .

Besieged ARL commission (ARLC) chairman John Grant says he will not stand down despite facing a vote of no confidence from angry NRL clubs.The clubs were infuriated when Grant retracted an earlier in-principle agreement to provide 130 percent of the salary cap in club funding from 2018 when their chairmen met with him on Wednesday.They reportedly called for his resignation in a letter.However Grant said on Friday he had not seen any such letter and had no reason to walk away.We clearly had a glitch on Wednesday but I expect to be able to take this forward, Grant told reporters on Friday.Instead, he said he expected to be in the role for at least another five years and had already begun organising another meeting with the club chairmen next week.I think the relationships Ive got with the chairs, while they suffered on Wednesday have been very strong, he said.The clubs have also called for constitutional change which would allow them to have two seats on the commission.ddddddddddddrant appeared to offer an olive branch on that score.He announced he had arranged for Australian Olympic Committee president and lawyer John Coates to lead a review into the current constitution, five seasons after the commissions creation.It is an appropriate time to do a constitutional review, and we need appropriate people to lead that and John Coates is second-to-none.Grant also confirmed the funding offer that was agreed to in December 2015 was now off the table.Things have changed, he said.The digital world has erupted with broadcast.Weve got (player) participation issues that need to be addressed today.Weve got different priorities that have come to pass.He said the ARLC wanted to work with the clubs on a new funding model, and that he was confident clubs would understand.
