Ehh it was always small. If there were only 2 teams allowed in next year, and the top 4 went undefeated, no way TCU would get in. Would be OSU/Bama all day regardless of scores etc

Alabama is getting the Bucks again in the '16 playoff. We ain't gonna make it this fall with a freshman QB.

How is this a bad thing? A preseason poll should have no affect on who is in the final 4.

TCU is overrated


I really don't think that they are. They've got almost everyone coming back.

Interesting. Only 1 of these teams is riding a 4 game losing streak to FBS teams and has lost 5 of their last 7 to FBS teams. But, as we know from his time in Gainesville, CWM is a miracle worker.

You guys laugh at TCU and Baylor but the big 12 is weak as sheet, a strong conf USA team could win the big 12 this year

He's just projecting who the AP will vote in the top 10.

Looks pretty reasonable to me.

LSU is a New Year's 6 contender with that defense.

I've got Ohio State/TCU/USC/Bama in the playoffs. A USC/Bama national title game to end 2015 leading into them opening 2016 is what ESPN and the NCAA wants and the fans of CFB deserves.

The defense will allow Alabama to defend the SEC crown. The offensive line can make us a legit playoff contender if it gets. But we don't lose less than two or three if Coker or Cornwell can't progress at QB.

What about Ole Miss? They're an oddity for me. It's like Peach Bowl did more harm than good. Aside from the obvious final score.

They return and add plenty of talent. I could look at the Arkansas or TCU games and say they sucked, but I don't think the bowl season was indicative of how good any of the SEC teams were. During the regular season the SEC West was not overhyped, they just beat each other up and come bowl season they were more physically and mentally fatigued than their opponents. As for the Arky loss, Arkansas gave it their all and Arkansas was actually a solid team.
