*This year in college football, four teams will be battling against each other to make the glorious game that will wake place in Atlanta for the National Championship game. However, these selected teams must face the challenge in which they face first.

 

#1: CLEMSON (12-1)

Clemson dominated this season, only losing one game and taking over the number one seed for the college football playoffs. This team also ended the season with an 8-0 record at home, and a 4-1 record on the road. Also, they ended with a total points for themselves (PF) of 460, and a total points against themselves (PA) of 166. Both of these totals were the best in the entire league this year, which is extremely impressive, and also is going to set the team up with great opportunity to win it all.

 

#2: OKLAHOMA (12-1)

After an astonishing season, on the back of a quarterback who shocked the world, also known as Baker Mayfield, the team as a collective unit won a total of twelve games, and only had one loss throughout their season. They ended the season with six wins and zero losses at their own stadium, and six wins with one loss when traveling to enemy territory. However, this one loss was courtesy of a conference team, and also a team that was not ranked, Iowa State. In response to their loss, they ended the season on an insane win streak of eight straight games.

 

#3: GEORGIA (12-1)

Coming into the season, The University of Georgia came in, not seen as a favorite to make the playoffs. However, through hard work, consistency, and simply winning the games that really counted, they have found a spot for themselves as the third seed. They proved many analysts and commentators wrong by producing great numbers. They finished the underdog season with twelve wins and only one loss throughout the season.

 

ALABAMA (11-1)

What would college football be without the Alabama Crimson Tide? Not as entertaining as this football team proved itself to be week in and week out! This University is always well known for its extremely aggressive and impressive play every year, but this year there was some controversy following the final decision. Alabama finished their season with eleven wins and only one loss, but that loss came from the University of Auburn, whose final ranking this year was the seventh seed. The main argument lies in whether or not they actually deserved it, however. Many believe the only reason they got in was due to their name, which we will never truly know.

#5: OHIO STATE (11-2)

#6: WISCONSIN (12-1)

#7: AUBURN (10-3)

#8: USC (11-2)

#9: Penn State (10-2)
