With this week's AP poll if the 12-team playoff projection would look this way

#12 Boise State

#3 Penn State

#8 LSU

#7 Alabama

#11 Tennessee

#4 Ohio State

#10 Clemson

#5 Georgia

 

The #12 Boise State/#3 Penn State winner would play #4 seed Iowa State

#8 LSU/#7 Alabama winner would play #1 seed Texas

#11 Tennessee/#4 Ohio State winner would play #3 seed Miami

#10 Clemson/#5 Georgia winner would play #2 seed Oregon

So much better than in the past.  I love college football this year.
