1) Alabama 2) Cincinnati 3) Michigan 4) Notre Dame

Alabama vs. Notre Dame in Texas.

Cincinnati vs. Michigan in Florida.

Winners meet in the 2021 CFP championship game.

* 5) Georgia.  Best football games of the season often determine who get there, with the latter-day bowl set up. Last night's SEC championship was the peak of the college football season.

There will not be -- should not be -- an Alabama-Georgia rematch this year, greedy fans.  This is not the pro, but the collegiate level.

Georgia finishes their season nationally at number five, not that there's anything wrong with that -- still bowl worthy and big bowl eligible, but out of running for the crown...

That will likely go -- deservedly -- to 'Bama, which has proven all year the can win the hard games, when it matters, against the top opponents.

Competitively, that's your national college champion right there... Alabama. Any questions?

Cincinnati, Michigan and/or Notre Dame can try and top them in the bowl season now, but everybody in the know knows it won't take a CFP game to settle the final question of who is undoubtedly number one again this year...

Roll Tide.
