Projecting the College Football AP Top 25 After Conference Championship Week

Conference championship weekend was certainly a wild one with plenty of College Football Playoff implications. Indiana won its first conference title since 1967 in a 13-10 Big Ten championship upset of Ohio State, while Alabama's blowout loss to Georgia in the SEC title certainly didn't make things any easier on the CFP committee heading into selection Sunday.

Here's how the AP Top 25 could shake out heading into the postseason.
