The college football may have just ended, but that isn't stopping the machine from continuing to roll. Here are the way-too-early rankings for 2025.

Now that it’s all over and the Ohio State Buckeyes are the college football national champions, it can be definitively said: Expanding the College Football Playoff worked.

The first 12-team College Football Playoff finished on Monday night with Ohio State beating Notre Dame 34-23 in Atlanta, Ga. The new 12-team playoff was a massive success, although the expanded field allows for more mulligans for every team and perhaps reduces the importance of some games.

This year, Boise State was the non-power representative for the College Football Playoff. Next year, it will be Tulane, but it will be a very different situation than the Broncos'. Boise State got a bye and was actually ranked inside the top-12. That won't be the case next season.

Ohio State’s run to its first national championship in a decade enabled the Buckeyes to dominate the Associated Press’ all-College Football Playoff team. The AP changed the way it put together its postseason all-star teams this season as college football introduced an expanded 12-team playoff that had some schools playing as many as four postseason games.

Ohio State came out on top in the national championship on Monday, outlasting a late Notre Dame comeback push to win 34-23. The game brought an end to the first edition of the expanded College Football Playoff, which features 12 teams vying for the title instead of four.

By almost any measure, Indiana football had the best season in its 126-year history in 2024. Can IU run it back in 2025?

It started with some blowouts, ended with some nailbiters and gave fans plenty to look forward to in future editions.

The first installment of the 12 Team Playoff is in the books, what was good, what was bad, and what needs to be changed going forward.

When Ohio State beat Notre Dame 34-23, the College Football Playoff wrapped up its biggest postseason ever, and despite the high amount of blowouts, the 12-team playoff was a success. A season ago, seven teams were vying for a spot in the playoff during conference championship week.
