Unbeaten Oregon is the No. 1 team in the first rankings released by the College Football Playoff selection committee on Tuesday. The Ducks were followed by Ohio State, Georgia, Miami and Texas in the top five.

A 13-member selection panel released its first top-25 list, and saw what most of the country has seen this year -- that the Ducks are the best in the country.

Ohio State is at No. 2 as its only loss came at Oregon in a 32-31 thriller. It's very possible the Ducks and Buckeyes could meet again in the Big Ten championship game, but Indiana will have a say in that. The Hoosiers visit Columbus on Nov. 23 in a game that could serve as a semifinal of sorts for the conference title game.
