The 2025 regular season in college football was chock-full of drama, especially surrounding the College Football Playoff (CFP) bracket.
Since the first rankings were released on November 4, there have been numerous questions about the criteria to make the field and what wins and losses actually matter.
The final CFP bracket was released on Sunday, December 8, with some notable additions and subtractions.
After getting housed by Georgia in the SEC title game, Alabama snuck into the field, alongside Miami, Tulane, and James Madison.
Some notable absences were Notre Dame, BYU, and Texas, causing Notre Dame to go full scortched earth on the post season.
