The college football season is full of ups and downs. Throughout the season teams across the country compete to try and make the AP poll top 25 rankings. On the Sunday of championship weekend, the selection committee releases the final rankings of the season. The top four teams make the playoffs and play on New Year’s Day. However, this year is different. The games are taking place on New Year’s Eve due to New Year’s Day falling on a Sunday.
