KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — After romping Florida 54-16 in the SEC Championship Game, Alabama cemented its spot as the indisputable front-runner heading into the third annual College Football Playoff.

 

The Crimson Tide (13-0) — the only SEC team to finish the year with fewer than four losses — received all 45 first-place votes in the latest FWAA-NFF Super 16 rankings.

 

Clemson (12-1) leapfrogged an idle Ohio State following its 42-35 win over Virginia Tech in the ACC Championship Game.

 

Washington (12-1) remained at No. 4 after the Huskies demolished Colorado in the Pac-12 title game. Penn State (11-2) just missed the top 4 after its impressive comeback over Wisconsin to win the Big Ten Championship Game, 38-31.

 

A week after the SEC placed just a single team in the Super 16 for the first time in the poll’s history, Auburn snuck back into the rankings Sunday.

 

The poll is voted on by a panel of College Football Hall of Fame members and select sportswriters.

This week’s Super 16

  1. Alabama (13-0) 720 points
  2. Clemson (12-1) 639
  3. Ohio State (11-1) 636
  4. Washington (12-1) 590
  5. Penn State (11-2) 528
  6. Michigan (11-1) 515
  7. Oklahoma (10-2) 450
  8. USC (9-3) 373
  9. Wisconsin (10-3) 366
  10. Florida State (9-3) 267
  11. Colorado (10-3) 237
  12. Western Michigan (13-0) 186
  13. Oklahoma State (9-3) 170
  14. West Virginia (10-2) 161
  15. Louisville (9-3) 103
  16. Auburn (8-4) 69

Others receiving votes: Stanford (28), Temple (18), Virginia Tech (17), Florida (13), LSU (13), Navy (7), Nebraska (4), USF (4), San Diego State (3), Tennessee (2), Utah (1).
