Projection 2015/16 playoff teams

[Jumper_Dad]

Never too early to start talking about college footballs next season.

 

Who would you say TODAY are the four teams to make it to the playoffs next season?

[Jumper_Dad]

Ohio St must be the favorite to defend their title as they lose little from this team.

[John Anthony]

OSU, Bama, TCU...

[Hellbird]

Definitely won't happen next year, but how awesome would it be to eventually have OSU and Michigan (Meyer vs Harbaugh) in the playoffs?

[SLINK]

USC is probably going to be the favorite to win the PAC-12. Their scholarships will be back to around 72-75 instead of 58-60.

OSU. Bama. After that it's a crapshoot.

 

I'll guess one of TCU and Baylor.

 

Anyone of the following: Oregon, USC, LSU, Auburn, Georgia, Clemson would not surprise me.

 

FSU will still be talented, but probably in a little bit of a rebuild.

Oklahoma and Texas will get some love but I don't think either team is back yet.

1. TCU

3. Baylor

4. USC

5. Oregon

6. Mich. St.

7. UCLA

8. Georgia

9. Clemson

10. Bama

Bama has 2 offensive starters returning and neither of those is a QB...WOW! I wouldn't see them as a playoff team.

 

OSU and TCU are the only answers I would give with any confidence. My next most confident answer is actually the Notre Dame/USC winner.

That'll be a huge game. ND returns a lot and were very young this year due to injuries and suspensions. They have plenty of offensive weapons and a defense that had 22 different guys see the field this year could pay off in 15.

Ohio State and Michigan are going to play next year. They are in the same division in the big-10. This would also mean that they will probably never play in the playoffs.

2 O-line starters, plus Coker a QB, Henry and Drake at RB, and OJ Howard at TE.

I'm not saying Bama won't make it- obviously there will be talent. I just am not sure the SEC won't have other challengers, like Georgia, LSU, Auburn, Ole Miss, Miss. St and Arkansas.

 

The SEC champ will be there at the end for a spot in the playoffs.

[Capernicus41]

I'm going with:

 

1.OSU

2.TCU

3.LSU

4.ND

 

I think Baylor, USC, Clemson, Mich. St are in the mix too.
