With the final regular season for most of the Power 5 conferences over, only one team appears to have locked up a spot in the College Football Playoff — Oklahoma. The Sooners finished its regular season with a win against Oklahoma State and earned the Big 12 championship. The rest of the top four were unchanged from last week with Clemson staying at No. 1, Alabama at No. 2 and Iowa at No. 4. However, all of those teams have championship games this weekend. No. 1 Clemson still has to play No. 10 North Carolina in the ACC title game, No. 2 Alabama has to play No. 18 Florida in the SEC title game and No. 4 Iowa and No. 5 Michigan State will play what is essentially a CFP play-in game during the Big Ten championship. Ohio State is sitting at No. 6 and hoping for a shot if Clemson or Alabama loses. However, the committee placed a strong emphasis on conference champions during last year’s final rankings, and the Buckeyes won’t play in their title game.
