The college football regular season is now behind us, conference championship weekend is ahead of us, and we're less than a week away from Selection Sunday for the College Football Playoff.

The final CFP rankings reveal before the playoff field is chosen took place on Tuesday night, and the committee answered a lot of our big questions.

Namely, with Texas jumping Vanderbilt after an upset win over Texas A&M, the Commodores have essentially no shot at an at-large bid despite a 10-2 finish in the SEC. Meanwhile, Miami still sits two spots behind Notre Dame, and with the Fighting Irish on the cut line, it seems unlikely the Hurricanes will find a way into the field.

North Texas and James Madison also entered the rankings out of the Group of Five, and that all but guarantees two things: The winner of the American championship between Tulane and the Mean Green is a CFP lock, and James Madison is likely in as well with a win over Troy and a Duke win over Virginia.

Here's how the full bracket would look if the season ended right now.

While the field is coming into picture and the stakes entering conference championship weekend are mostly clear, we could still see quite a bit of chaos, depending on the results of this weekend's matchups.
