It's the end of a (rather brief, all told) era in college football: The 10th edition of the College Football Playoff will be the last with just four teams.
Beginning in 2024, the CFP will expand to 12 teams, making access a little bit less exclusive and theoretically giving us a little less to argue about. (Yeah, right.) But before we go, it's time to update this list for the fourth and final year.
Below are the 40 teams that made the CFP during this four-team era; I ranked them, from Bama and Burrow to Riley and Sparty.
I derived this list as usual, from a combination of numbers (primarily, my SP+ ratings) and my personal opinions. Start with the stats, then adjust for actual CFP performance and any other criteria that feel relevant.
