I don’t think there’s a team on the bubble who has a legitimate chance of winning the whole thing.

So the media/CFP generates a ton of interest to sucker us into adding 4 or 8 or 20 more teams that have less of a chance of winning the championship than #9 and #10.

Actually, I think the teams on the bubble all have a solid chance of winning the playoff.

Being able to win 3-4 consecutive games against good teams leans more toward teams with a lot of talent on them then those with less talent but "grit" or "great coaches". It's a grind, not showing up for a moment of glory.

Miami, ND and Bama are all top 15 in the nation in team talent (along with OSU, UGA, OU, Oregon, and A&M). Those are the teams who can win 3-4 games straight.

Last year the final 4 were all rated 11th or better in total team talent.

The teams who don't have a chance in my mind are Ole Miss, Illinois, Texas Tech, James Madison and Tulane. Texas would also be in the "talented enough to win a title" group while Vandy and BYU would be in the "not talented enough" group.
