Welcome to the final edition of the college football Vegas composite rankings. It's a combination of the power ratings of Phil Steele, Bruce Marshall's The Gold Sheet and ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI).

Because it's bowl season, this edition will list all 80 bowl teams and their numbers. The best team, Alabama, whose rating is 65.1 points, is 43.7 points better on a neutral field than the 80th-best team, North Texas.

The top four teams in these ratings match the top four teams in the College Football Playoff -- the only difference is the order.

1. Alabama Crimson Tide (Rating: 65.1)

The Crimson Tide were the top team at the beginning of the season, and they also close the year as the top team in the consensus rankings. They are listed as 8.1 points better than Washington on a neutral field, but are currently 16-point favorites going into their Dec. 31 semifinal showdown, according to Westgate.
