cfb-power-rankings-tos.jpg

Ohio State started the season with a senior quarterback and a No. 6 preseason ranking. By Week 4, the Buckeyes had a freshman under center, lost to Virginia Tech and slipped to 21st in the polls.



On Monday night, down to their third-string quarterback, they won a national title and finished atop the final College Football 24/7 Top 25 Power Rankings, gaining all seven first-place votes in the process. The team they beat, Oregon, finished second, getting all but one of the second-place votes.

TCU, which missed out on the first College Football Playoff despite a solid resume, leapfrogged two teams that did make it ahead of them and finished third.

Here's a look at the final top 25:
