Michigan appears to have its work cut out of it if it's looking to climb back in the College Football Playoff picture, at least according to analysts.

Just two teams are left standing with a shot at the College Football Playoff National Championship as the inaugural 12-team tournament has reached the finish line. No. 7 seed Notre Dame is set to take on No.

Since the start of the College Football Playoff in 2014, there have been 11 national champions. Which were the best? We ranked them all.

This year, Boise State was the non-power representative for the College Football Playoff. Next year, it will be Tulane, but it will be a very different situation than the Broncos'. Boise State got a bye and was actually ranked inside the top-12. That won't be the case next season.

It started with some blowouts, ended with some nailbiters and gave fans plenty to look forward to in future editions.

Now that it’s all over and the Ohio State Buckeyes are the college football national champions, it can be definitively said: Expanding the College Football Playoff worked.

An Alabama Crimson Tide fan fired off a scorching hot take during C-SPAN's coverage of President Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday.

Expect other states, like Texas, Alabama, Georgia and Louisiana, to adopt the Ohio law. It has been written that Oregon’s football NIL payroll was $45 million. It got them a great season, but not a championship. The guess here is Ohio State’s payroll was close to that, and the $20 million for athlete salary hasn’t even started.

I put out there that Ohio State football coach Ryan Day needed to beat Michigan to avoid the John Cooper comparisons. Well, that win over the Wolverines didn’t happen, and it set off alarms throughout the Buckeye state.
