Badgers ranked No. 8 in first College Football Playoff rankings

Published Nov. 1, 2016 10:15 p.m. ET

The University at Wisconsin Badgers know where they stand in the College Football Playoff picture, and they'll have to make a significant rise in the last five weeks of the season in order to qualify.

In its first release of rankings Tuesday night, the committee placed the Badgers eighth – the same spot they occupy in both this week's Associated Press and USA Today Coaches polls.

Alabama claimed the top spot, followed by Clemson, Michigan and Texas A&M. Washington, Louisville and Ohio State trail the top four spots that make it to the playoff.
