The USA TODAY Coaches Poll is getting updated after a wild finish to the 2022 regular season. With Rivalry Week shaking up the top 10, the race to the College Football Playoff is nearly complete.
Around the country, most analysts agree that the top 4 entering Championship Weekend will be Georgia, Michigan, TCU and USC in some fashion. Georgia, Michigan and TCU are the lone undefeated teams this season while USC is clicking as a one-loss program.
