The 2019 College Football Playoff field is set, following a weekend that held some promise for chaos and playoff drama but ultimately relieved the selection committee of the responsibility of making challenging and difficult decisions. Three teams stand head and shoulders ahead of the nation, and the fourth team is the best of the rest.
LSU dominated Georgia in the SEC Championship Game, an especially impressive showcase of LSU's offensive prowess against one of the nation's most efficient defenses coming into the contest. Ohio State faced its first major challenge of the year, falling behind Wisconsin by 14 points at halftime of the Big Ten Championship Game, but the Buckeyes rallied and overwhelmed the Badgers in the second half to ultimately claim the title in comfortable fashion.
