January 13, 201511 yr 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?
January 13, 201511 yr Author Ohio St must be the favorite to defend their title as they lose little from this team.
January 13, 201511 yr Definitely won't happen next year, but how awesome would it be to eventually have OSU and Michigan (Meyer vs Harbaugh) in the playoffs?
January 13, 201511 yr 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.
January 13, 201511 yr 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.
January 13, 201511 yr TCU leads the 2015 Way-Too-Early Top 25 rankings - ESPN 1. TCU 2. OSU 3. Baylor 4. USC 5. Oregon 6. Mich. St. 7. UCLA 8. Georgia 9. Clemson 10. Bama
January 13, 201511 yr 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.

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.
January 13, 201511 yr Definitely won't happen next year, but how awesome would it be to eventually have OSU and Michigan (Meyer vs Harbaugh) in the playoffs? 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.
January 13, 201511 yr 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. 2 O-line starters, plus Coker a QB, Henry and Drake at RB, and OJ Howard at TE.
January 14, 201511 yr 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.
January 14, 201511 yr I'm going with: 1.OSU 2.TCU 3.LSU 4.ND I think Baylor, USC, Clemson, Mich. St are in the mix too.
