College Football Rankings - Final

The Alabama Crimson Tide finished another season where they usually do, hoisting the national championship trophy, and while their playoff performance was enough to move them from #7 to #3, they were not the best team in the country this season. Two Big Ten schools, both of whom played a tougher schedule than the Tide, finished as my top two, but until the playoff is expanded to the point that all conference champions are included, the national title is still illegitimate, since the regular season doesn't even matter for the majority of teams in college football. Here are my full final rankings for the season:
