Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson and LSU top AP 25 poll

UNDATED (AP) – The first College Football Playoff rankings are coming out this Tuesday and with that in mind the newest Associated Press Top-25 poll looks much like last week’s. Ohio State, Baylor, Clemson and LSU remain the top four teams with TCU number-five.
 
     Ohio State, which suspended quarterback J.T. Barrett for this week’s game against Minnesota for being cited for operating a vehicle while impaired, was off Saturday and retained all 39 of its first-place votes. Baylor has six first-place votes after losing one this week but remains a solid No. 2.
 
     No. 3 Clemson also has six first-votes, No. 4 LSU has five and No. 5 TCU has four after picking up the vote Baylor lost.
 
     There’s a sizeable divide between the top five and the rest, with No. 6 Michigan State trailing the Horned Frogs by 87 points.
 
     The pairings for the four-team College Football Playoff will be revealed Dec. 6.
