The final week of the 2025 college football regular season is in the books. Previous No. 3 seed Texas A&M lost their first game of the year while former No. 7 Ole Miss lost their coach Lane Kiffin to LSU. The ACC remains chaotic after SMU lost to Cal, paving the way for seven-win Duke to advance to the conference championship game.

With all that took place, there are set to be a number of changes in this edition of the College Football Playoff rankings heading into conference championship weekend. This is the final set of rankings before the selection committee decides which 12 teams officially make this year’s playoff on Sunday.

Here’s a look at their updated top-25 rankings andhow they compare to last week’s.
