The College Football Playoff selection committee doesn't officially meet to start deliberating its first of six rankings until Monday, so the only clues to what it might do are found in written protocols and past decisions. Statement wins always have and always will loom large, as will elite talent and Heisman Trophy-caliber athletes, where games are played and how contests unfold. Head-to-head results (sometimes), common opponents and FCS opponents also are considered. So are injuries to key players, like Georgia All-American tight end Brock Bowers. Nowhere in the protocol does it say anything about how to handle allegations of cheating against Michigan. Which is why several former selection committee members have said this current group will probably rank the Wolverines based on how they have played so far — and leave the gossip in the hallway. If a team is eligible for the postseason, it's eligible to be ranked. So far, that hasn't changed for Michigan. What might change is the SEC's place in the top four. The SEC has had the top team in 43 of the past 54 total CFP rankings. No team has been ranked No. 1 more than Alabama (24 times), followed by Georgia (12). Both could be on the outside looking in, with their season-defining games still looming. How much will Tuesday's ranking foreshadow what happens on Selection Day? According to ESPN Stats & Information, seven of the nine No. 1 teams in the first CFP ranking of each season have reached the playoff. The only exceptions were Mississippi State in 2014, the inaugural season of the playoff, and Tennessee last year. So who will have the honor of starting this season No. 1? Here is a prediction not only for the top spot but for the first 12.

The Florida State Seminoles rushing attack looked a lot more to what was envisioned in the preseason as they rolled through Virginia Tech en route to a 39-17 victory. The Noles certainly appeared to use the bye week to work on and improve on some of their struggles — first and foremost that run game. Trey Benson easily cleared their previous season-high of 79 yards when he posted 200 yards on just 11 carries. His 18.2 yards per rush was the highest-ever mark for a Florida State back, according to ESPN Stats and Info. This week, the Seminole Wrap crew — Brian Pellerin, Jon Marchant and Ben Meyerson — looks at some of those adjustments made to get the wheels churning for the offense. The other main question mark was the defense's ability to get off the field on third down and, again, they appeared to have made the necessary adjustments over the bye week as they held VT to 2 of 13 on third. Have the Seminoles figured out those problem areas for good or was it more a product of Virginia Tech's limitations? Plus, we look ahead to next week's contest with Syracuse — what challenges could the Orange present for FSU and where can the Noles take advantage of some Syracuse weak spots?

In perhaps the most defining moment of Tua Tagovailoa's young career, the Miami Dolphins overcame a 21-point deficit in the 4th quarter to snatch victory from the Baltimore Ravens, leaving Baltimore and its fans stunned, the Miami Dolphins sitting at 2-0, and answering many of the doubts fans have had about our young signal caller.Miami Dolphins vs. Baltimore Ravens Week 2 RecapThe GreatThe Miami Dolphins are the first team in twelve seasons to come back from a 21-point deficit in the fourth quarter and win. All other teams combined for a 0-711 record during that time frame. (ESPN Stats & Info)Tyreek Hill (11-190-2) and Jaylen Waddle (11-171-2) become the first teammates to have 10+ receptions, 150+ yards, and 2+ touchdowns each in the same game in NFL history. (Greg Harvey @BetweenTheNums )Tua Tagovailoa looked amazing in this game, throwing 36 completions on 50 attempts for 469 yards, 6 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions for an astounding 90 QBR and tying a franchise record with Marino and Griese for most touchdowns in a game.The offensive line gave Tua plenty of time for most of the day, allowing just 1 sack, and leading the way to 86 yards rushing on just 18 carries; including a pivotal block by Greg Little to unleash Chase Edmons for a 28-yard scamper on the final drive.The GoodThe running game was on point! Raheem Mostert carried the ball 11 times for 51 yards, while Chase Edmonds tacked on 33 yards on 5 carries, including a 28-yard clutch run on the final drive.Alec Ingold had a dominant performance at FB in this one, making big-time blocks and catches all throughout the game.Mike Gesicki is alive! 4 catches, 41 yards, and a highlight jump ball in the back of the endzone showed off that athleticism we're dying to see more of from the TE.Kader Kohou played most of 2nd half as CB2; Needham only returned to play the final 3 snaps. (@DanielOyefusi)River Cracraft was once again elevated from the practice squad to participate in this one and once again made the most of his opportunities, finding the endzone in the third quarter. The coaching adjustments were phenomenal all-around. From Mike McDaniel getting his team in a one-drive-at-a-time mindset to Josh Boyer making the decision to pull Needham for the rookie Kohou. The BadThe opening kickoff was returned 103 yards by Baltimore Ravens WR Devin Duvernay.Lamar Jackson to Rashod Bateman for a 75-yard touchdown on the first play after tying the game.Lamar Jackson's 75-yard run straight through the defense put the Ravens up 35-14 at the end of the third quarter.Nik Needham essentially got benched in the second half in favor of Kader Kohou.The entire defense just got dominated by the Ravens, getting zero sacks and zero turnovers; essentially allowing the Ravens to do whatever they wanted for most of the day.This was a defining moment for Tua Tagovailoa and to some extent, Mike McDaniel, as well. It started off really messy, but we all know it's how you finish that defines you, and our boys finished in the best way possible. Enjoy your victory Monday Fins Fans, you deserve it, and I'll catch you later this week as we prepare to take on the Buffalo Bills in week 3. #FinsUp baby!Let's connect: @FinsFamilyPodSupport the show

Lakers Get Road Win Over Rockets 132-123, Lakers Snap 5 Game Losing Streak, LeBron and Westbrook Both Triple-Double The Los Angeles Lakers are back in the win column. Finally. The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Houston Rockets 132-123 in Tuesday's Western Conference showdown at Toyota Center. LeBron James, Malik Monk, Carmelo Anthony and Russell Westbrook led the way in a balanced effort for the victors, who snapped a five-game losing streak and improved to 17-18 on the campaign. James and Westbrook finished with triple-doubles to help make up for the absence of Anthony Davis. LeBron James Becomes 3rd Player All-Time With 36,000 Career Points. He joins Hall of Famers Karl Malone and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar atop the list. The closest active player to James is his teammate Carmelo Anthony, who is No. 9 on the list with 27,844 points. In addition, James is the youngest player to reach every round number milestone in points, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Jalen Green, Christian Wood and Kevin Porter Jr. played well in defeat for Houston, which fell to 10-25 with a fifth consecutive loss. Notable Player Stats: LeBron James, F, LAL: 32 PTS, 11 REB, 11 AST, 2 BLK, 1 STL Russell Westbrook, G, LAL: 24 PTS, 12 REB, 10 AST, 2 STL, 7 TO Malik Monk, G, LAL: 25 PTS, 2 REB, 2 AST Carmelo Anthony, F, LAL: 24 PTS, 9 REB, 2 BLK Jalen Green, G, HOU: 24 PTS, 4 AST, 2 REB, 2 STL Christian Wood, C, HOU: 22 PTS, 6 REB, 3 AST, 3 STL Kevin Porter Jr., G, HOU: 22 PTS, 9 AST, 5 REB Offense Breaks Through for Slumping Lakers. The Lakers came into the season with championship-or-bust expectations, but they have looked like a team with the ceiling of a play-in tournament of late as they tumble down the standings. Fortunately for Los Angeles fans, Anthony made a clutch three-pointer and James took over by attacking the lane and taking advantage of free-throw attempts after struggling on the line earlier in the game. It took a night of offensive fireworks to overcome the defensive issues, but the Lakers managed to snap their losing streak against an overmatched opponent. So Z Nation, what did you think about the Lakers win against the Houston Rockets??? And how do you like LeBron James becomes 3rd Player All-Time With 36,000 Career Points??? Comments down below

Did the Lakers really come back from down 14 in the 4th to let Caruso guard Tobias Harris for the game winner?! Absolutely infuriating. Betting on the COVID no fans NBA will have you second guessing absolutely everything. Mavs get routed on a Jazz back to back with no Donovan Mitchell? Speechless in Seattle on a Thursday.

She is currently the Founder & CEO of Curastory, the easiest way to get started creating videos while first focusing on a unique market, professional athletes and student athletes. Before making her leap into the world of startups, she joined ESPN Stats & Information Group as a Sports Analytics Associate, where she created ESPN's College Football Fan Happiness Index. She was the first African-American analyst to join the team. Throughout her tenure with the leading sports multimedia company, she became an advocate for harmonizing creativity, human traits, and data science. When people ask Tiffany Kelly to describe herself, she doesn't hesitate to say that first and foremost she is a passionate idealist and visionary to her core — a trait birthed from her parents, the Reverend Dr. Herman O. Kelly, Jr. and Linda M. Kelly. Dr. Kelly, a University educator, philosopher, and theologian, helped raise Tiffany and her older brother Herman O. Kelly, III giving both lessons on the meaning of life and joy while Mrs. Kelly worked as a corporate analyst with a background in computer science and technology. A product of the Louisiana private educational system, Tiffany Kelly attended an all-girls Catholic, college preparatory school St. Joseph's Academy in Baton Rouge before moving to Fort Lauderdale, Florida to study Sport & Recreation Management, Statistics, and Computer Science from Nova Southeastern University (NSU). She grew more into her natural ability to lead by creating the first sports organization open to undergraduate students at NSU. Early in her college years, Ms. Kelly decided her true calling was eliminating the inequality and lack of gender and racial diversity within the sports industry, especially decision-makers at the top. She served as an analytics contributor for The Undefeated writing on her own experiences and the experiences of other minorities within sports analytics. Tiffany Kelly has continued her diversity efforts by inspiring youth and women in STEM to use their gifts to change sports and sports tech for a better future. As board member of the Sports Analytics Club Program (SACP) and high-profile ambassador of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) – Lyda Hill Philanthropies IF/THEN Initiative, she seeks to further this calling through sports analytics educational programs provided in inner city secondary schooling throughout the country, and mentoring middle school girls in STEM so they can then be the change.
