All of the shouting and arguments are over. OK, maybe not, but the final College Football Playoff rankings have come out so we now know which four teams will be a part of all the fun. Ohio State isn’t but its rival Michigan finally broke through and will be playing for a national title.
The other three teams that are in the playoff include Alabama, Georgia, and Cincinnati. No. 1 Alabama will play No. 4 Cincinnati, and No. 2 Michigan will match up with No. 3 Georgia. There wasn’t much drama with the four teams that got in this year, but there are some questions on how the top four appeared in the seedings and matchups.
Each time the CFP rankings come out, we like to address what College Football Playoff Selection committee chair Gary Barta says in front of the media. He acts as the mouthpiece of the committee and takes on tough questions to provide some insight on why the group ranked the teams where it did.
Barta met with the media again on Sunday and had a lot to say, and we’re bringing it to you once again. Here’s everything Barta said as the face of the CFP Committee after the release of the final rankings.
