The 2023–24 College Football Playoff was a single-elimination postseason tournament that determined the national champion of the 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football season. It was the tenth edition of the College Football Playoff and involved the top four teams in the country as ranked by the College Football Playoff poll. The playoff consisted of two semifinal games, played at the Sugar Bowl and the Rose Bowl, with the winners of each advancing to the national championship game. Each participating team was the champion of its respective conference: No. 1 Michigan from the Big Ten Conference, No. 2 Washington from the Pac-12 Conference, No. 3 Texas from the Big 12 Conference, and No. 4 Alabama from the Southeastern Conference. Michigan and Washington won their respective semifinal games and Michigan won the national championship game, 34–13, to secure their first outright national championship since 1948.
I've been working on this on-and-off since the championship game in January and I'm very pleased to have all four articles now at GA status. This is a good topic nomination and my first GT/FT nomination. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 23:53, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Noting that 2023 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings is also in Category:2023–24 College Football Playoff. Any thoughts on the 4 team season articles for the 4 teams involved in these games being included in the scope? Hey man im josh (talk) 01:17, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- @Hey man im josh I assume the ranking article is included in the category solely because the CFP rankings are listed there, since they don't have a separate article. As for the team season articles, I would argue against adding them because the playoff itself as an entity comprises just the games. While the teams, of course, do participate in the games, my instinct would be that the teams would not belong in this topic. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 02:26, 27 August 2024 (UTC)
- I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I thought I'd ask to pick your brain on it a bit. I get your line of thinking and I do agree that technically it's a set if you're considering just the playoff structure. Hey man im josh (talk) 12:40, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

- Support without ranking inclusion. The rankings in the category kinda throws it slightly out of whack. But it's clear that the articles listed only cover the play-off matches outlined in the template. Maybe you could make the topic more specific by titling it "2023–24 College Football Playoff games"?
