With Alabama beating Georgia in the National Championship, here’s the AP Poll’s final Top 25 for the 2017 season, led by all four Playoff teams:

  1. Alabama (57 first-place votes)
  2. Georgia
  3. Oklahoma
  4. Clemson
  5. Ohio State
  6. UCF (4)
  7. Wisconsin
  8. Penn State
  9. TCU
  10. Auburn
  11. Notre Dame
  12. USC
  13. Miami
  14. Oklahoma State
  15. Michigan State
  16. Washington
  17. Northwestern
  18. LSU
  19. Mississippi State
  20. Stanford
  21. USF
  22. Boise State
  23. NC State
  24. Virginia Tech
  25. Memphis

Those four are followed by the team that was controversially left out at the No. 4 spot and that then went on to blow out the Pac-12’s champ in the Cotton Bowl, then by the team that declared itself national champ after finishing unbeaten and landing transitive wins over the title game’s teams via the Peach Bowl. Orange Bowl winner Wisconsin is up next, followed by Fiesta Bowl winner Penn State.

This is the last ranking until next season’s preseason poll in August. Here’s a peek at what that’ll look like, more or less.
