For entertainment purposes, we will assume the two home teams win the play-in games. Toledo would travel to Clemson while Notre Dame travels to UCF. Georgia would host Ohio St and Oklahoma would host USC in quarterfinal games. These games would be contested the weekend of December 16. The four winners would have the weekend of December 23 off before returning to action January 1 for semifinal action. Those two winners would have a week to prepare for the championship game on January 8.

2017 Championship Weekend Wrap Up
With the conference championships completed and our mythical game between top independent school Notre Dame and conference championship-less Troy has a winner (Notre Dame of course), we can move on to a true championship bracket. The conference winners and Notre Dame would be ranked 1-10 according to their final season ranking. Two play-in games would have been played this weekend between 8/9 and 7/10 at the better seeds home stadium. Those winners would then travel to the home stadiums of the top 2 seeds while 4/5 and 3/6 would play at the better seeds home stadium.

2017 Conference Championship Preview
Yes, we all know which teams are playing in the conference championships this weekend. However, we don't know the overall rank of some of the teams since no one ranks more than the top 25. My system ranks all teams. I've also added a bonus game for the weekend between the best independent team and the only conference without a championship. Of course, that is a mythical game as it won't be played, but it should be as it leads into my championship bracket.

No one views my blog so why should I put the effort in to stay current? So I haven't. Since this is the final regular-season CFP ranking, I decided I should at least put up my final ranking going into the conference championships. So enjoy and debate and we shall see how things shake out after championship weekend.
