This weekend is big for college football, with nine conference championships set to take place. After the games, the last College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings for 2025 will be unveiled, revealing the official 12-team bracket.
Teams are eager to secure their spots. Some have already clinched a spot in the playoff, but others are still fighting for their chance. This creates an exciting atmosphere where every game matters.
Heading into the finals, Ohio State and Indiana sit at the top of the CFP rankings. Both teams are undefeated and ranked first and second, respectively. They’ll clash in the Big Ten Championship Game on Saturday. No matter the outcome, they are likely to maintain their positions in the top four. However, if Indiana wins, it could take the lead as the number one team in the playoffs.
A surprising twist came when the ranking committee swapped Notre Dame and Alabama. Despite both teams winning their last games, Notre Dame dropped to tenth while Alabama climbed to ninth. This sparked a lot of debate. If Alabama loses to Georgia in the SEC championship, they might drop again, but a win could boost their rank even higher.
In the Big 12 Championship, BYU will face Texas Tech. Earlier this season, Texas Tech beat BYU decisively. A win for BYU this time could change their playoff chances dramatically and impact other teams like Notre Dame, who might miss out as a result.
The ACC Championship features Virginia battling Duke. If Duke pulls off an upset, it could help teams like James Madison sneak into the playoff conversation. James Madison, currently ranked, could advance if it wins against Troy and Virginia loses.
As these games unfold, fan discussions and social media buzz will only grow. College football brings excitement and moments that fans won’t forget.
