re: So who's winning the playoffs, boys?

I believe it will either be Ga or ND.I haven't made my mind up yet. I want to watch some more of ND's games. Day and Franklin seem to have a problem with big games. Man, I wish I could pull the trigger for Boise St, cause you could win a bundle of cash. However, I worry about their depth. While they played toe to toe with Oregon, they came very close to losing to 3-9 Wyoming.

Not me, I’d be very upset if utk won it.

You don't have to worry about that...that's the type of team that would need the old playoff system to have a shot. Their passing game is going to cost them in 1 of the 4 games they'd need to win it all.

I still think it's going to be Ohio St. They've already throttled two playoff teams & damn near beat another on the road.

"Playoff teams." Both with the 151st SOS if you take Ohio State off of them.

OSU got run over in their own stadium by their biggest rival that was having a huge down year. No faith in those guys to win multiple big games in a row.

FEI
1) Ohio State
2) Oregon
3) Notre Dame
4) Texas
6) Penn State
7) Indiana
8) Georgia
9) BAMA
10) Tennessee
13) SMU
15) ASU
16) Clemson
22) Boise

In my view we don’t know to what degree the B10 is actually competitive with the SEC because none of them played teams the other did.

None of the SEC teams however are particularly great at anything outside of defense for Texas and Tennessee.

So given the uncertainties my prediction would come down to path.

Texas has Clemson who they should handle by multiple scores, ASU who they should handle by multiple scores and then would have a major showdown with Oregon/Ohio State IMO.

On the other side of the bracket UGA gets a bye but would have have ND who has the DL to takeaway their run game. If Beck can’t go ND can win that game. Winner of that gets PSU who has easily the best draw of any team outside of Texas, but Penn State is a very flawed team who I dont think can consistently beat other elite teams.

My prediction is that UGA has a shot with Beck to win it, but not without him.

Texas, OSU and Oregon can also each win it all.

If Beck is in fact out my pick is Texas, with the understanding that they have zero elite wins this year and could easily lose to either Ohio State or Oregon if they don’t get a good game out of Ewers who is without question the most overrated player in the CFP based on stats.

Seriously, if the stinking Vols went 0 for everything in every sport and disbanded their programs in shame I’d die a happy man.

I'm expecting Boise to knock of Penn State. I wouldn't be surprised to see Boise beat Georgia and end up in the final with a rematch against Oregon.

Who cares about the playoffs. I care about Bama beating Michigan. Plus hoops season is off and running all over the SEC, clearly the best basketball conference in the country right now.
