Prior to the introduction of the college football playoffs as we know them today, there were countless years where the National Championship rankings were incredibly controversial. There was a definite need for change, and that came in 2014 with the introduction of a 4-team playoff to determine the best team in college football. The new set-up has proven to be incredibly popular, and the 2017-18 version is shaping up to be another classic, as there are essentially 7 teams legitimately still in the running for the 4 available playoff spots.
The final week of the college football season is a big one, as it’s rivalry week, and we could well see teams currently in the playoff hunt fall by the wayside. Even with a win in the final week, there are still a few teams that will need to win their conference championship game in order to get in. These include the likes of the Georgia Bulldogs, Wisconsin Badgers, and Oklahoma Sooners. It’s going to be an exciting couple of weeks in college football, setting the tone for another memorable playoff schedule and a run to the National Championship.
