What are the 10 best individual performances in CFP history?

The 2024 college football season was one for the record books, with it being the first campaign to feature the expanded 12-team playoff format.

Ohio State took home the title, beating Notre Dame 34-23 in the championship game. True freshman phenom Jeremiah Smith was instrumental throughout the Buckeyes' run, making game-changing plays and coming up in the clutch when they needed him the most.

But he wasn't the only star to make a name for himself in this year's CFP.

Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo helped the Sun Devils nearly pull off one of the biggest upsets in 11 years of CFP games, taking Texas to double overtime in a 39-31 shootout. This had us thinking, where do these individual performances rank in the history of the CFP? FOX Sports research broke down the top 10, looking at all the incredible showings put on by multiple players since the first edition of the tournament in the 2014 season.

Let's take a look:

Stats: 30 carries, 143 yards, two rushing touchdowns; eight receptions, 99 yards; 42-yard passing touchdown

Skattebo had to be the superhero for Arizona State's offense in order for it to stand a chance against Texas. He did a bit of everything in the process. 

With ASU trailing 24-8 in the fourth quarter and facing a fourth-and-2 situation, Skattebo took a pitch and threw the ball downfield to Malik McClain for a 42-yard touchdown. That jump-started the Sun Devils' comeback attempt, which included a Skattebo rushing touchdown in regulation and another in overtime. 

Stats: 7 receptions, 187 yards, two touchdowns 

One year into his college career, and Jeremiah Smith already appears to be a receiver for the ages. He set Big Ten records for receiving yards (1,315) and touchdown receptions (15) en
