The College Football Playoff has released their final set of rankings for the 2024 season, and the Oregon Ducks finish ranked first.
Oregon (13-0) remains the top-ranked team in the country after it defeated Penn State, 45-37, in the Big Ten Championship Game. Penn State dropped two spots down to No. 5 following the loss.
Georgia (12-1) moved up three spots in the College Football Playoff rankings following its 22-19 overtime win over then No. 2 Texas in the SEC Championship Game. Texas dropped one spot to No. 3 as a result of the loss.
Notre Dame comes in at No. 5, while Ohio State is No. 6 and Tennessee is No. 7. Indiana, Boise State, and SMU round out the top 10.
Earlier on Sunday, the inaugural 12-team College Football Playoff field was revealed. The seeding in the playoff does not mirror the rankings, however, as the top four seeds go to the four highest-ranked conference champions. Oregon is the top seed, and is followed by Georgia (2), Boise State (3), and Arizona State (4).
