Mississippi State tops the first College Football Playoff rankings. The Bulldogs, who are also No. 1 in the Associated Press and coaches polls, led the rankings announced Tuesday after a vote by a 12-member selection committee. Florida State, which won the last BCS National Championship Game, is No. 2 in the rankings followed by Auburn and Ole Miss. Oregon is fifth and Alabama sixth. It was the first of seven rankings that will be announced, culminating on Dec. 7 when the four semifinal teams will be announced. Auburn and Ole Miss, both one-loss teams, will play Saturday in Oxford in what will presumably be an elimination game, with the loser knocked from contention for a spot in the national semifinal games on Jan. 1. Theres a lot more football to be played, said Arkansas athletic director Jeff Long, who chairs the selection committee. The winners of the Sugar Bowl and Rose Bowl on New Years Day will move on to the national championship game on Jan. 12 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Florida State (7-0) will put its unbeaten record on the line on Thursday night against Louisville, the No. 25 team in the playoff rankings. Mississippi State (7-0) is the only other unbeaten in the playoff rankings and faces Arkansas on Saturday. The playoff replaces the oft-criticized Bowl Championship Series, which was in place from 1998 until last season. The rankings will be determined by a 13-member committee -- one member, Archie Manning, is on a health-related leave of absence this year -- who meet in person on Monday and Tuesday during the selection process. The current voters include five university athletic directors and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. TCU, Michigan State, Kansas State and Notre Dame rounded out the top 10 in the first rankings. Georgia, Arizona, Baylor, Arizona State, Nebraska, Ohio State, Utah, Oklahoma, LSU, West Virginia, Clemson, UCLA, East Carolina, Duke and Louisville completed the top 25.

Jonathan Huberdeau and Quinton Howden are expected to make their debuts for Team Canada.ATLANTA -- Manager Fredi Gonzalez saw no reason he shouldnt let Evan Gattis swing with a 3-0 count in the first inning. One big swing from Gattis showed why he deserved that vote of confidence. Gattis hit a three-run homer and Chris Johnson followed with another long ball in the first, and the Braves edged the Los Angeles Angels 4-3 on Friday night for their first interleague win. The Braves were 0-6 against American League teams before taking advantage of four runs in the first on the two homers off C.J. Wilson (7-6), including a three-run shot by Gattis. There were two outs and two runners on when Gattis faced the 3-0 count against Wilson. Gonzalez relayed the green light. "The way hes swinging the bat, why not?" Gonzalez asked. Asked what pitch he was looking for, Gattis said "A pitch to handle." He said it didnt have to be in a certain location and added Wilson delivered "a decent pitch" on the inside to middle of the plate. Wilson didnt like the pitch. "That pitch just didnt move at all," Wilson said. "It was right down the middle. Obviously the guys got great power and hes on a tear right now." Angels manager Mike Scioscia said Wilson, who had a hit batter and a walk before the homer, was hurt by his poor control in the inning. "He almost worked his way out of it but C.J. just was behind in too many counts and it eventually caught up with him," Scioscia said. Wilson was in control after the ugly first inning. He gave up only three hits in five scoreless innings after the first. The homer over the left-field wall was the 14th for Gattis, leaving him tied for third place in the National League. He had two hits, giving him a 13-game hitting streak, Atlantas longest this season. Aaron Harang (5-5) allowed one run in six innings to end a streak of five consecutive starts without a win. Braves right fielder Jason Heyward left the game with a bruised right hand after being hit by a pitch from Wilson in the first inning. The Braves said X-rays were negative and Heyward is day to day. After being hit on the top of his hand leading off the first inning, Heyward remained in the game and scored on the homer by Gattis. He remained in the game on defence in the second before leaving in the bottom of the inning as Jordan Schafer was used as a pinch-hitter. "It gradually felt worse," Heyward saiid, adding hes relieved he didnt have a broken bone.dddddddddddd The Angels trailed 4-1 before Albert Pujols had a two-run single off Shae Simmons in the eighth. Craig Kimbrel struck out Raul Ibanez to cap a perfect ninth inning for his 19th save. Harang, 36, earned his first win in eight career starts against the Angels. He was 0-4 with a 10.48 ERA in four 2013 starts for Seattle against the Angels. Harang gave up four hits and three walks with two strikeouts. The homer by Gattis drove in Heyward and Freddie Freeman, who walked. Johnson followed with his homer over the centre field wall for a 4-0 lead. Wilson had allowed only one homer in his last five starts before allowing the back-to-back shots. The Angels scored in the third when Hank Conger hit a leadoff double before moving to third and then scoring on two wild pitches from Harang. Braves centre fielder B.J. Upton dropped Kyle Calhouns liner for an error, helped Los Angeles in the eighth. Upton caught up to the ball but couldnt hold on when trying for a basket catch at his waist. Mike Trouts bloop double left runners on second and third with one out. Pujols, who has hit .347 in his career against the Braves, then punched a two-run single past second baseman Tommy La Stella. Simmons struck out Howie Kendrick and ended the inning on Erick Aybars grounder to first base. Braves shortstop Andrelton Simmons left his feet to make a diving catch of a sharply hit grounder by Josh Hamilton in the sixth. Simmons bounced up to throw out Hamilton in a close play at first base. "That is probably one of the best plays Ive seen in a long time," Harang said.
