Earlier on Sunday, the finalized College Football Playoff field and Top 4 was revealed, setting the stage for this year’s road to the national championship. Now, after all of the results from conference championship weekend, the final CFP Top 25 rankings have been unveiled as well.

In the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl, it will be No. 1 Georgia taking on No. 4 Ohio State. In the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl, No. 2 Michigan will battle against No. 3 TCU. The winners of the two semifinal games will then meet with the national championship on the line.

Conference championship weekend was a memorable one, with multiple upsets that had impacted the eventual CFP field. Georgia defeated LSU in the SEC Championship, with the Bulldogs winning 50-30. Michigan also beat Purdue 43-22 in the Big Ten title game. Georgia and Michigan were locked into the Playoff already entering the weekend, but that didn’t stop them from taking care of business.

TCU entered the weekend ranked No. 3, but the Horned Frogs fell 31-28 in overtime against Kansas State in the Big 12 Championship. TCU’s spot int he CFP was solidified, though, as they remained in the Playoff. On Friday night, USC lost 47-24 against Utah in the Pac-12 title game, which completely set the tone for what would be an extremely impactful weekend.

Clemson and North Carolina battled for the ACC crown, and Cade Klubnik came in and led the Tigers to a dominating 39-10 victory over the Tar Heels. Tulane and UCF met with the AAC title on the line, and the Green Wave played very well on their home field, defeating the Knights 45-28.

Nobody else that was in last week’s College Football Playoff rankings played during conference championship weekend. That didn’t stop the rankings from seeing some movement, though.

Now that the field has been solidified, attention now turns to bowl games and the Playoff.
