I agree with most of that, except Miami and LSU. I don't think either of those teams make the playoffs. TAMU also, not gonna be in it.

Miami feels like it's almost entirely based on potential, and ease of schedule.

Based on the list, it's possible the system thinks both Miami and Clemson go undefeated in the regular season, meaning in a close game the loser of the ACCCG will sneak into the playoffs. Not sure how that works with Clemson playing LSU though...

It looks more like ESPN’s Director of Programming’s wish list than an actual prediction.


Because it is.

OU won't sniff a playoff this year, though. No chance in hell.

Let's see how OU does without most it's offensive starters standing on the sidelines all season and a moon-moon at QB, barkie.

an Alabama team that was limping going into that game,



Hands down the best team in Alabama history. That still eats at you doesn't it?

ESPN's computer model has made its picks:

Texas
Georgia
Ohio State
Alabama



Must have been impacted by a computer virus when it made these picks.

Didn't freaking Mizzou play for an SEC title a couple years? And Georgia has been relevant for what 4 years now?

I agree with the model's picks of Georgia and Ohio State.

So my CFP final four are Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon and either Clemson or an as yet to be determined SEC team besides Texas.

Did you not see the SEC Championship game? Win, lose or draw.. That matchup between Texas and Georgia is why I love CFB.

I want ALL of that.



Both games were good. Both nail biters. I'm with you. That's what college football is all about. And...last years results have little to no affect on this years games.

I disagree with the other Georgia fan. I think Oklahoma will do well in the SEC. But...what on earth is your definition of being relevant?
