Final CFP Rankings Released: Who Get's In?
Coming into Friday, it seemed relatively simple. Georgia and Michigan seemed to be locked for the playoffs. Possibly even TCU. With the Trojans taking a loss in the PAC-12 championship it now cues the chaos.
Southern California started the first quarter the way it needed. They were giving most college football fans the indication that it would be Georgia and the Trojans meeting in the playoffs. Well, Utah had other plans. Saturday, noon rolls around, and it’s time for TCU to give itself a chance to make the playoffs. While they were able to force overtime, they came up short on 4th and goal, ultimately giving Kansas State the win.
Georgia secured its second SEC championship under coach Kirby Smart, almost assuring they'll play at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in the opening round of the playoffs, essentially giving them a home-field advantage. Michigan handled business in the Big Ten Championship as well. Now the question is, with everything that’s happened, how did the final rankings play out?
