The last complete College Football Playoff Rankings for 2022 revealed

All of the coaches and media members can stop campaigning for the team with a vested interest to get into the College Football Playoff because we finally have the reveal of the last CFP rankings that were unveiled on Sunday.

There was a little controversy, but we think the College Football Playoff committee got it right with the four teams that got in — Ohio State being one of those teams, along with Georgia, Michigan, and TCU. We know you are interested in the entire top 25 and not just the top of the rankings, so we have the complete list of teams that saw their name included with the last set of CFP rankings.
