College Football Playoffs-Final Rankings

A few minutes ago the first ever College Football Playoff Selection Show revealed the top six teams. They are as follows:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Florida St.
4. Ohio St.
5. Baylor
6. TCU
Now, lets see how they got here:
Alabama- The Crimson Tide finished the season with a 12-1 record. Their season concluded last night in the SEC title game as they blew out Missouri 42-13. The one blemish to their record came to a good Ole Miss team in early October. Alabama had a top five strength of schedule yet still managed only the one loss.

Oregon-The Ducks also finished the season with a 12-1 record. They won the Pac-12 Championship 51-13 over a top 10 Arizona team. They were lead by Heisman favorite Marcus Mariota. Their one loss was to Arizona who they got their revenge on Friday night.

Florida State-The Seminoles once again went undefeated this season. However QB Jameis Winston did not have nearly as good a season this year as he did last year. Florida State beat Georgia Tech 37-35 in last nights ACC Championship. However FSU is not ranked higher due to their close games against un-ranked teams like Boston College and Florida.

Ohio St.-The Buckeyes were not ranked in the top four before today's selection show. OSU was boosted by their 59-0 Big 10 Championship game win over #13 Wisconsin. OSU won this game with their 3rd string QB Cardale Jones. They finished the season 12-1 with their only defeat coming to Virginia Tech.

TCU and Baylor just barely missed the cut, however they will still play in a new bowl.

Alabama and OSU will play in the Sugar Bowl on New Years. Oregon and FSU will play in the Rose Bowl, also on New Years.
