We went into Championship Week with a fairly clear picture of what the College Football Playoff’s four-team field would look like, assuming the higher-ranked teams all won.
Unfortunately for those hoping for a CFP selection free from controversy, TCU and USC each lost their conference title games, and while the latter ultimately missed the playoff, the former made it in spite of the loss to Kansas State, which was its first of the season.
Thanks to USC’s loss, Ohio State snuck in at the No. 4 spot despite being idle. Meanwhile, the upper half of the field was much less intriguing than the rest of the discussion as Georgia and Michigan each rolled to comfortable wins, remaining undefeated.
With the regular season in the books and the bowl field set, here are the takeaways from every conference title game heading into the postseason and beyond.
