A total of 773 games between FBS teams are in the books for the 2019 season, and only one remains. The College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night will feature the LSU Tigers against the Clemson Tigers in New Orleans, a matchup of the two of the three best teams in college football this year.
I don't expect the winner of the championship game to vault ahead of Ohio State in the final FEI ratings next week, unless the champion tallies a completely lopsided victory in extremely efficient fashion. The Buckeyes are ranked No. 1 overall in FEI this week by a fairly comfortable margin, and are holding onto the best overall FEI rating on record since 2007.
