All season long, our college football writers have picked their four teams for the College Football Playoff after each week's games.

With Week 14 in the books, it's clear they agree on three of the four spots -- LSU, Ohio State and Clemson.

Georgia, Oklahoma and Utah received votes for the fourth spot.

The top three teams were not tested in Week 14.

No. 1 Ohio State routed No. 13 Michigan 56-27 on Saturday for a school-record eighth straight win in the series. J.K. Dobbins ran for four touchdowns and Justin Fields threw four TD passes.

No. 2 LSU had no trouble with Texas A&M in a 50-7 victory. Joe Burrow added to his Heisman Trophy credentials, passing for 352 yards and three touchdowns.

No. 3 Clemson won its 27th straight and finished its second consecutive 12-0 regular season with a 38-3 victory over rival South Carolina. QB Trevor Lawrence threw for 295 yards and three touchdowns.
