NCAA Football Rankings - Final

Alabama finished off the college football season last night with another resounding blowout victory over Ohio State, leaving the Tide as the only undefeated team in the country, and by far the best team, more than 8 points better than any other team in the nation on a neutral field. Bowl season provided a lot of interconference games, something that was severely lacking this season and making ranking teams from different conferences very difficult, but the bowls helped show that the SEC, MAC, and Big 10 had been underrated, while the Sun Belt, Pac 12, ACC, and AAC had been overrated, and the Big 12, CUSA, and MWC were about right. Here are my full final rankings:
