Which players will have the biggest impact in the College Football Playoff? Narrowing down four teams of starters and key contributors to just 25 players is an almost impossible task, but we're taking it on to get you ready for Georgia vs. Ohio State in the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl (Saturday, 8 p.m. ET on ESPN) and Michigan vs. TCU in the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl (Saturday, 4 p.m. ET on ESPN).
These are the players who will most help decide the outcome of the semifinal games. These rankings are not based on NFL draft stock or pro projections but rather which players will have the biggest impact in their New Year's Eve matchups.
Will the top standouts from the vaunted Ohio State passing game find a way against the elite playmakers on Georgia's defense? Can TCU get it done versus a stout Michigan team? Let's take a closer look at who will help answer those questions, ranking the top 25 players across all four rosters.
