This thread is to discuss who you believe is going to be in the Playoff not who you believe the best 4 teams are.

I'll Start. I think the BIG and SEC winners are locks so in a rematch of last years semi- finals I got Ohio St. and Bama. Then it gets tricky for me. But I have a hard time seeing a Pac-12 team in the playoff because I think they will all have 2 losses. So I have TCU coming out of the Big 12 and then after watching this weekend, Florida St. really impressed me. So I think Florida St. will win the ACC and be undefeated going into the playoffs. So I have 3 of the same teams as last year.

1. Ohio State

2. TCU

3. Florida St.

4. Alabama

Finals: Ohio St. vs TCU.

Baylor, Ohio State, LSU and Utah. FSU goes unbeaten and gets left out, committee can't leave B12 out two years in a row

Does Utah run the table? I think they will lose one of their last 4 games and I really don't see them beating Stanford at this moment. Will be interesting to see. Wish all their games weren't at 10:30 at night. Do you think Fournette is enough for LSU to beat Bama?

Not sure on Utah, don't know where they play Stanford . I waiver on the whole Pac 12, hard to believe a mediocre Northwestern team could beat a team that the pundits say is as good as Stanford. I became a believer in LSU this weekend. QB looked good, if he continues to improve I think they are better than Alabama. No idea what to expect from Baylor/TCU game

I was assuming that the Pac-12 Champ game would be Utah v. Stanford. But I stayed up to watch Stanford v. UCLA after the UK game on Thursday and was very impressed. If McCaffrey played for an east coast team you would hear his name a lot. Agree 100% on Baylor and TCU. Epitome of a 50-50 game. First team to 100 wins.

1. Baylor

2. LSU

3. Clemson

4. Ohio State/ Michigan State (Loser)

Next 2:

TCU

Ohio State/ Michigan State (Loser)

 

I think most of those teams explain themselves, but the one team I feel a lot of people forget about is Clemson. I put them in as undefeated ACC champions and leave out the PAC 12 as I think Utah and Stanford both lose another game. The winner of the Michigan State and Ohio State game gets the bid for the BIG 10.

(Winner)*

Right now I think the best 3 teams in the country are Baylor LSU and OSU. The 4th is up for debate.

Utah, Baylor, LSU and Michigan State

Alabama, Baylor, TCU and Clemson or LSU

There's so much parity this year, I can't put a finger on the top 20 much less the top 4. As I see it, everyone is beatable and no one dominates.

As of right now I'd go with Baylor, Ohio State, LSU, and Utah.

However, I think Alabama will beat LSU when they play and move into that spot. Bama is very good. The Ole Miss loss was an anomaly, due to 5 Bama turnovers. I don't think that will happen again.

I also believe Utah will lose 1 or 2 games. But I think Baylor will run the table in the Big 12.

And Ohio State will be keep on rolling.

 

So my picks for the playoffs when the season's finally finished:

 

1 Ohio State

2 Baylor

3 Alabama

4 Clemson

Alabama, Baylor, TCU and Clemson or LSU

 

The SEC West has losses to a MAC and an AAC school, and the Bama loss to Ole Miss looks worse every week. Yet you think they get 2? Bartender, I will have what this guy is having.

Baylor, Ohio State, LSU and Utah. FSU goes unbeaten and gets left out, committee can't leave B12 out two years in a row

 

I have a very HARD time believing that if FSU goes undefeated that they will not get into the playoffs. Their schedule will be strong enough to get them in, in my opinion. Playing Clemson, Florida, and even teams that do not have the best record but are talented like (Miami, Louisville, Georgia Tech) and then whoever they would see in the ACC championship game should get them enough credit to get in. Either Baylor/TCU will get in but I see Utah losing before the end of the season and if FSU or Clemson go undefeated I think they get in before a 1 win PAC 12 team. Just my opinion of course and I am partial to the Garnet and Gold.
