On a new episode of The Audible, Bruce Feldman and Stewart Mandel react to the first College Football Playoff rankings and dive into why Alabama, at No. 4, is overrated in the first poll.

Plus, the guys discuss why the Big 12 was the committee's biggest headache (7:00); why Notre Dame was the biggest surprise (11:25); how the Heisman race could swing on Alabama-LSU this weekend (26:15); Florida State's shot at upsetting No. 1 Clemson (35:10); TCU-Oklahoma State, which is essentially the Big 12's first huge game of the year (38:55); and a handful of listener questions.
