Ok folks, what are your predictions for the 4 teams that will make the college football playoff?

Here are mine:

Florida State
Oklahoma
UCLA
Ohio State

I think the championship will go back to Florida State!

No one from the SEC.?

LOL! Yeah, I know I'm poking the bear!

One of the podcasts I listen to posed the question of what's more likely: 2 SEC teams get in or none? I think the committee is going to really focus on conference champions, and I don't think they'll exclude 2 conferences from the playoff in its first year. I think the SEC will beat each other up and their conference champion may have 2 losses. I don't think it will be the 4 best teams, but rather I think it will be the 4 best conference champions.

Damn, really bad day for the Big 10! I excluded the SEC on my initial predictions, but just 2 weeks into the season the conference that should be left out is the Big 10!

Based in what I've seen in 2 weeks, I would also take off UCLA on my list and replace them with Oregon. I'm rooting for UGA to win the SEC and make it to the playoff as well. My niece whom we took to Europe with us this summer is a freshman there. If Gurley can stay healthy they have a good shot. That dude is a beast!

I do not see that.

I think one or more of the Sec teams are better. This may be the year where they need a second chance (playoff) to get in the national championship game.

which sec team would that be?

While I originally argued that FSU certainly isnt playing like everyone expects a number 1 should...nor is any other team.

hard to ignore 20 straight wins...and FSU has still managed to beat 2 ranked teams.

I am certainly biased, but Id also agree with the national champion being #1 until a loss (or key injury etc)...its certainly something all SEC teams have been awarded that have held the top spot in the past years.

not to mention after this week, hte ACC will have just as many top 10 teams as the "god like" SEC...and both fsu and notre dame play 2 weeks from now!

Enjoy this year for FSU because I'm really liking what I'm seeing from this true freshman QB Deshauwn Watson at Clemson. They also have the #2 recruiting class this year according to ESPN. Clemson gifted you guys the game this year, but next year I think we're going to get you.

Wow! What a day in CFB!

ya, except you could have said what a week, Oregon #2 went down on Thursday night. I don't think FSU will survive the season as number one. There are no distance leaders in the front. The final four are up for grabs. By the way, I am a Noles fan because my brother, sister and mother went there. But, I just don't see it happening unless they get better.

clemson definately looking good for sure! (nc state just looked completely deflated this week)

I fully believe clemson is still in the hunt if they didnt have to play FSU (you know, since the SEC lovers all complain that sec vs sec games hurt)

Think we will truly see what FSU is made of in two weeks vs notre dame....although somehow I believe that even if FSU wins folks wont put as much weight into the game since ND is now just another ACC team.

I would take an SEC team making the playoffs over an ACC team. The chance of two SEC teams making the playoff is significantly higher then 2 ACC teams. I would even spot you Notre Dame. 7 SEC schools are still playing for a playoff spot.

More importantly though from top to bottom the SEC teams are better.

I didn't expect much from Clemson this year. They lost a heck of a lot of players on offense. However, now that I've seen this true freshman QB (#1 rated dual threat QB out of HS) play I really wish they didn't have their 2 toughest games (Georgia and FSU) so early in the season. I now think they're going to run the table for the remainder of the season and next year they'll probably be a pre-season Top 5 team.

From 2nd to bottom maybe. FSU is still the reining national champ having beaten the current top rated SEC school in that game. Auburn could've easily lost to Kansas State this year as well.

ACC was 2-0 in BCS Bowls last year and the SEC was uh hm 0-2!

With all the focus on the SEC West this year, I'm thinking and actually rooting for Georgia to win the SEC and make the CFB playoff. Gurley should also win the Heisman if he stays healthy.

What about TCU? I watched the whole TCU/Oklahoma game and TCU not only beat Oklahoma, they are better than Oklahoma.

Baylor as the Big 12 champ
Arizona as the Pac 12 Champ
FSU as the ACC Champ
Mississippi State as the SEC Champ

If Mississippi State wins out - they will have beaten LSU, A&M, Arkansas, Bama, Ole Miss AND the SEC east's best team. Thats Six teams better than FSU, Arizona and Baylor

... just sayin ....

Aren't you going a little overboard here? Yes, the SEC West is the best single division in CFB, but none of them are better then FSU although some are closer then others. Let's break it down:

Auburn: Reining SEC champs who lost to FSU in the game played on the field.

Alabama: True powerhouse but they may not be as good this year and may end up being a 2-3 loss team

LSU: not even a Top 25 team this year and will probably end up around .500

A&M: Great offense and a LOUSY defense! It's funny how a perpetual also ran in the Big 12 is now a powerhouse in the "best division in CFB".

Mississippi State: Very good team that's had a great couple of weeks. However unless A&M stays in the Top 10 which I doubt they still haven't beaten a Top 10 team.

Ole Miss: Very good team that's recruited very well the last few years and has a very good defense. They actually had the best win yesterday IMO.

Arkansas: Come on now. Let's see Bielema win a game in the SEC first before stating they're better then FSU.

I just don't like that smarmy creep that quarterbacks for FSU.

that's why this thread is an "opinion" piece - nobody knows who will win out at this point.

There are 10 undefeated teams today - several will play each other in the coming weeks (TCU and Baylor for example) so there may be only 1 or 2 important undefeated teams come playoff time.

I think we may end up with 2 or even 3 one loss teams in the final four.

Do you pick an undefeated Marshall over a one loss Alabama or a one loss Georgia?

:cheer::cheer:

disagree on both points.

if not for FSU playing ND (which is now a conference game for the ACC)...I dont see ND losing.

Where did I ever say being undefeated is a super important criteria?

For the record, I think Georgia is the best team in the SEC.

Clemson isn't ranked right now, but even with 2 losses they're better then I expected and will finish the year as a Top 15 if not a Top 10 team.

One team will win, another will lose. There will be much wailing and gnashing of teeth and a new improved system will be devised that will be met with - get this, much wailing an gnashing of teeth.

Meanwhile universities will continue to waste time and effort on something that has absolutely nothing to do with their primary purpose.....
