Well, it’s that time. The 2022 regular season, including the conference championship games, is in the books. That means it’s time to figure out which four teams are going to play for it all in this year’s College Football Playoff.
The final CFP rankings will be revealed on Sunday and there’s a very, very good chance Ohio State will be somewhere in the mix after both USC and TCU lost their respective conference title games. You have to think that the top four will be Georgia, Michigan, TCU and Ohio State in some order, but there is an outside chance that Alabama sneaks into it. Sorry Tennessee fans, no dice despite your optimism and crazy arguments.
But before the big reveal on ESPN on Sunday, we’re giving you a preview of what we believe the CFP rankings will look like ahead of time. It can be a daunting task because of the zany things we’ve seen from this committee in the past, but we love a good challenge and have been pretty close to being right on these things this season, so we’re up for it.
Here is a look at what we believe the CFP top 25 will look like when all the dust settles Sunday.
