In today's episode of Quick Hitters, host Jordan Giorgio reveals the new College Football Playoff rankings that were released. The defending champs the Clemson Tigers are the new No. 1 team in the nation, but the ranking that is getting the most attention is Auburn at No. 2 who scored their second win over a top-ranked team by taking down the Crimson Tide, who dropped down to No. 5. Oklahoma is Number 3, followed by Wisconsin and Alabama, Georgia sits at number 6 followed by Miami who falls to 7 after their heartbreaking loss to Pitt and to round out the top 10 is Ohio State, Penn State and USC.

It's conference championship week meaning there's one last round of chaos that can occur before the committee makes their final playoff selections. In the SEC the Georgia Bulldogs will take on number 2 Auburn who beat Georgia in the regular season 40-17. The reigning champs will be taking on the Miami hurricanes in the ACC championship. The Buckeyes will be battling it out with Jonathan Taylor and the undefeated Badgers to claim the Big 10 Title.  We’ve got another rematch where the Sooners will be taking on TCU in the Big 12 championship, Oklahoma beat TCU in the regular season 38-20. In the Pac 12 Stanford will be taking on the USC Trojans.

Into your NFL fix, for the first time since 2004, the New York Giants have a new starting quarterback. Head coach Ben McAdoo announced yesterday that he will start Geno Smith instead of Eli Manning in Week 13 against the Oakland Raiders. Eli fought back the tears in the locker room when he addressed the media after hearing the news.

In the NBA, LeBron James was ejected for the first time in his 15-year career during the Cavaliers 108 to 97 win over the Miami Heat last night. James, was tossed with 1:59 remaining in the third quarter after getting a steal, dribbling upcourt and missed a layup then argued with referee that Heat forward James Johnson fouled him on the attempt.
