In fact, it was 40-6 late in the 4th quarter before Kansas City added two meaningless touchdowns in the last couple of minutes. It was enough of a beating to propel Philadelphia to my #1 ranking in my power ratings. Kansas City finished the year at #3.

2024 College Football season comes to a close

Ohio State is your national champion!

The 2024 college football season is in the books.
