Originally Published 2 years ago — by CBS Sports
As the College Football Playoff (CFP) prepares to expand from a four-team to a twelve-team format in 2024, a ranking of all 20 semifinal games from the four-team era has been compiled. The top-ranked game is the 2017 Rose Bowl where Georgia defeated Oklahoma in double overtime. The most recent semifinals saw Michigan and Washington secure victories to advance to the championship. The expansion marks the most significant change since the CFP replaced the BCS National Championship in 2014, and the ranked games reflect the most memorable moments from the era, including upsets, record-breaking performances, and thrilling comebacks.
