College Football Playoffs Thread

[Cardinal and Gold]

We are well over the halfway marker of the college football season. I think we have a pretty good idea what teams and conferences are made of at this point. What are your four teams in the playoffs?

1.Alabama (Conference Champ) 12-0
2..Wisconsin (Conference Champ) 12-0
3. Okie St. (conference Champ) 11-1
4. TCU (OT loss to Okie St. in Big 12 championship game) 11-1

My other tid bit prediction is that because two Big 12 teams make it in, the playoff is expanded to 6 teams next year.

side notes: Pac 12 and ACC champs have 2 losses. Notre Dame beats NC State and Miami, but loses to Stanford and ends with 2 losses. Georgia loses to Auburn then Alabama in the SEC Championship game to end with 2 losses. Ohio State loses to Wisconsin in the BIG championship game to end with 2 losses. Clemson loses to NC State and ends with 2 losses. NC State wins the ACC but loses to Notre Dame as mentioned above.

This is a long shot, if this were to happen the playoff would be expanded for next year the day after selections.

There's a better chance the Big 12 gets left out than getting two teams in.

I wouldn't be surprised if both Wisconsin and Penn State get in.
Or Penn State and Ohio State.

Look no further than where Game Day is this weekend to see how the Big 12 vs Big 10 is viewed.

You think they are showing a bias by choosing a match up between teams ranked 2 and 6 instead of a game between teams ranked 4 and 25?

Yes

 

[CascadeClone]

Alabama
Ohio st or penn st
Clemson
Georgia

SEC gets 2 in despite no quality wins OOC.

No Big12 this year, TCU wont go undefeated. OU and OSU will lose another game.

Wisky beats OSU or PSU in champ game, OSU/PSU goes to CFP anyway.

Pac12 lol.

I'm just so cynical about the whole thing.

My Rankings today:

Next 2:
5) Clemson
6) Wisconsin

My Rankings at the end of the year:

Just Missed:

[Acylum]

Alabama, 2 from B10 CCG, one from B10 not in CCG.

 

[cmjh10]

I will bet my left nut this happens:

Alabama
Penn St
Georgia
Ohio St

Book it.

 

[Omaha Cy]

Nice. I almost missed that little nugget in there. Who do we beat in the Big 12 Championship?

OU gets their **** together after firing Mike Stoops, but ISU ends up with a 2 game winning streak vs Boomer.

Just to play devils advocate (because F*** the $EC), Georgia did beat ND in South Bend, I'd say that's a quality win.

Listened to a college football show while driving this morning. 3 guys made their predictions. None had a B12 team in. All selections were a combination of Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, Penn State, Georgia, Clemson and Wisconsin. Alabama and possibly Penn State could have 1 loss and get in. The rest all were win out and get in. They did have TCU as a team that could run the table and get in. They just didn't think that would happen.

Book it.

Can we have a playoff for the rest of the country?

The Little X is SOOOO overrated at this point its ridiculous.

 

[ArgentCy]

My prediction is

1. Alabama
2. OSU
3. TCU
4. Notre Dame (lean to them) or Clemson

And TCU repeats the beat down of overrated Ohio State, then loses to the pro team.

 

[WooBadger18]

Alabama, TCU, Ohio State, and Georgia (not in any particular order).

I think Alabama and Georgia win out until the reach the SEC title game but Alabama wins it; I still think Georgia gets in. I think TCU will get in. Finally, I think it'll be Ohio State because I have them beating Penn State and Wisconsin. If Penn State wins this saturday, then swap them for Ohio State. I'm a Wisconsin fan, but I don't really see us beating whoever comes out of the east. I think Wisconsin's good, but more of around 8-12 good, not top 4

The good thing for Wisconsin, though, is they really only need to show up for one game. That's why I have them winning the BIG championship. They can sleep walk through their regular season (maybe not sleep walk, but you get what I'm saying) and really show up for the championship with a roster that shouldn't be overly banged up from eating cupcakes.
