As of November 26, 2024, the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings are heating up with the final stretch of the regular season. With conference championships looming, these rankings have major implications for the teams vying for a spot in the CFP, which will ultimately determine the four teams competing for the national title.
Currently, **Georgia** sits at No. 1, maintaining an undefeated record and continuing their dominance in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The Bulldogs, led by head coach Kirby Smart, have been a powerhouse all season, with their defense and high-powered offense continuing to overwhelm opponents. Their path to the CFP seems clear, with only one regular-season game remaining before the SEC Championship.
At No. 2, **Michigan** remains a strong contender after an impressive campaign in the Big Ten. Despite some challenges off the field, the Wolverines have remained focused on the field, delivering dominant performances in their conference matchups. Their rivalry game against Ohio State will be pivotal for both teams, with a win guaranteeing a spot in the Big Ten Championship.
**Washington** sits at No. 3, representing the Pac-12 with an explosive offense led by quarterback Michael Penix Jr. Their high-scoring games have made them a threat in the playoff race. However, they still need to navigate the Pac-12 Championship to secure their playoff spot.
**Florida State**, ranked No. 4, is another undefeated team that has made waves in the ACC. The Seminoles, behind a balanced offensive attack and strong defense, are looking to capitalize on a successful season and solidify their playoff position.
Behind these four teams, several other programs, such as **Ohio State**, **Oregon**, and **Texas**, are positioned in the top ten and could still make moves in the final weeks of the regular season. With conference championships ahead and a few rivalry games still to be played, the playoff race remains highly competitive.
