October 9, 201610 yr Okay, we are halfway through the season and it's time to start looking at the top 7-8 teams and who will eventually be playing for a national title. Name your top 8 teams right now... Take a shot at the top 4 right now... I'll go: 1. Alabama 2. Clemson 3. Michigan 4. Washington 5. Ohio State 6. Texas A&M 7. Louisville 8. Wisconsin Top 4 right now: - Alabama - Winner of Michigan/Ohio State/Wisconsin - Clemson - Washington All 8 teams have legitimate shots if they take care of business. Wisconsin and Ohio State next weekend is HUGE. Alabama and Texas A&M in a few weeks is big. Washington is rolling and they only have one more tough game on the schedule. Louisville probably needs the most help at this point.
October 9, 201610 yr Based on what I've seen to this point... 1) Alabama 2) Ohio State 3) Clemson 4) Michigan 5) Louisville 6) Texas A&M 7) Washington 8) Ugh... Who knows. Baylor maybe? Current projection forward to the playoff: 1) Alabama vs. 4) Washington 2) Ohio State vs. 3) Clemson
October 9, 201610 yr Author I chose Wisconsin because they can still win out and that would include a win over Ohio State. But they lost to Michigan, which could lose to OSU. Not sure what happens then.
October 9, 201610 yr I chose Wisconsin because they can still win out and that would include a win over Ohio State. But they lost to Michigan, which could lose to OSU. Not sure what happens then. The best wins for a lot of teams are slowly losing their shine. FSU hasn't helped Louisville. Michigan State and LSU haven't helped Wisconsin. Stanford isn't helping Washington. It's making picks beyond the top four very tough for me.
October 9, 201610 yr Author The thing for Wisconsin though is that they still have a chance to beat OSU. Of course, OSU still has a chance to beat Wisconsin and Michigan. Louisville has to win out and hope for a little help. Alabama is in a tough stretch but they seem unbeatable. Washington looks really really good. It's going to be fun to keep up with.
October 9, 201610 yr 1. Ohio State 2. Alabama 3. Clemson 4. Michigan (this really pains me) 5. Washington 6. Louisville 7. A&M 8. Wisconsin Projecting to playoff: 1. Ohio State 13-0 2. Washington 13-0 3. Alabama 12-1 loss to A&M 4. Clemson 12-1 loss to FSU
October 10, 201610 yr Do you guys think a 2 loss SEC champion would make the playoff? And does Washington make the playoff if they drop a game, but still win the PAC 12? That Michigan/Ohio State match up is huge.

That Michigan/Ohio State match up is huge. Not over Louisville or the Ohio State/ Michigan loser IMO. But the SEC won't have a 2 loss winner imo so it won't matter.
October 10, 201610 yr Right now ....this season 1. Clemson 2. Alabama 3. Ohio State 4. Louisville 5. Washington 6. Texas A & M 7. Michigan 8. Wisconsin ?? playoff .... 1. Clemson - 4. Washington ................2. Ohio St. - 3. Texas A Edited October 10, 201610 yr by oldrambler
October 10, 201610 yr I'm surprised the rankings didn't come out today. They didn't come out because South Carolina and Georgia played yesterday not Saturday.
