Georgia, Michigan, TCU and Ohio State make College Football Playoff

The two undefeated teams in college football unsurprisingly snagged the top two spots in the final College Football Playoff rankings on Sunday. No. 1 Georgia will play No. 4 Ohio State in the Peach Bowl while No. 2 Michigan will play No. 3 TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.

Ohio State moved up a spot from No. 5 to No. 4 in the final rankings after USC lost to Utah in the Pac-12 title game on Friday night. Ohio State didn’t play on conference championship weekend but was uniquely positioned to take advantage of USC’s loss by being the only one-loss team outside the top four entering the weekend.

TCU stayed at No. 3 despite an overtime loss to Kansas State in the Big 12 title game. The Horned Frogs scored 11 points in the final eight minutes of the fourth quarter to force OT, but came up just short of the goal line in overtime before K-State kicked a game-winning field goal. With K-State in the top 10 — and TCU already having a victory over the Wildcats earlier this season — the committee did the right thing and didn’t penalize the Horned Frogs much for their loss.

Ohio State’s inclusion into the playoff left both USC and Alabama on the outside looking in and once again continued a streak for the playoff committee. No two-loss team has ever made the College Football Playoff since the format was implemented in 2014. Here’s what you need to know about all four playoff teams. The playoff semifinals are on Dec. 31 while the national championship game is Jan. 9.
