Power Rankings 12/10/24

Welcome Back!

Power Rankings

Now that the CFP has been set, it's interesting to see how my rankings compare.  I got the 12 teams correct, but in a slightly different order. I have SMU higher than the committee, and Clemson and Boise State flipped. Most of the rest I missed is in the 5-12 range. The ones I got right are #1, #2, and #5. All-in-all, I would have to say my Power Rankings did a good job of picking the CFP teams!

#8 SMU would host #9 Penn State, with the winner moving on to play #1 Oregon

#5 Texas would host #12 Boise State, with the winner taking on #4 Arizona State

#6 Notre Dame would host #11 Tennessee for the privilege of playing #3 Clemson

#7 Indiana would host #10 Ohio State, with the winner facing #2 Georgia

Here are my rankings (again) from 1 to 134:
