Predict the Playoff 4

[StPaulHusker]

So tomorrow is the Playoff Selection Committee will announce their Top 25. Who do you think will be the top 4 and the 1st 2 out?

 

My guess is

 

Mississippi St

 

Florida St

 

Michigan St

 

Oregon

 

1st 2 out are Notre Dame and Alabama

[QMany]

Florida State

 

Mississippi State

 

Notre Dame

 

Michigan State

 

First two out: Auburn and Oregon

[HuskerShark]

I will preface this prediction by saying that it's probably no way in hell going to happen and is sort of a pipe dream playoff scenario, but it would easily be the highest quality for spectators as all parts of the country are represented, and these teams are all fun to watch.

 

Auburn - I think they run the table while Miss St drops one or two.

 

Winner of B1G conference - Either Mich St, Ohio St, or Nebraska SHOULD be a 1-loss conference champion and should have a spot - I'll guess Ohio State right now.

 

Oregon - I could honestly see them randomly dropping another game, but their remaining schedule isn't that difficult

 

TCU - They're about 1 minute away from being undefeated. Probably the most underrated team in the country.

 

First 3 out:

 

Notre Dame - Bummer.

Mississippi State - They've got Arkansas, Bama, and Ole Miss left to play. I bet they drop at least 1

Florida State - They have a really easy schedule left to play, so this is definitely hopeful thinking, but the way they've been playing, I'm hoping they slip up somewhere.

It depends on how they are ranking them. I think they'll rank them as they think they deserve to be ranked right now as opposed to how they think they'll end up at the end of the year. In which case:

 

Mississippi State

Florida State

Oregon

Alabama

 

Next - Auburn, Notre Dame

[GSG]

My guess for tomorrow:

 

Miss St

FSU

Alabama

Auburn

 

Next - Oregon, Notre Dame

[ithinkiloverg44]

Alabama

Florida St

Mich St/NEB

TCU

 

First two out: Auburn Miss St

 

This is how this season has gone and the biggest beneficiary will be the Frogs.

[jsneb83]

Miss. St

Auburn

Alabama

Ole Miss

 

First two out: Georgia, LSU

 

SEC! SEC!

[It'sNotAFakeID]

I think they're going to rank them as if the playoffs started today. So I wouldn't be shocked if it looks something like this:

 

1) Mississippi State

 

2) Florida State

 

3) Alabama

 

4) Oregon

[VA Husker Fan]

Miss St, Flo St, Auburn, Oregon is my guess. ND, Bama, Mich St next 3.

[Moiraine]

Alabama

Florida St

Mich St/NEB

TCU

 

First two out: Auburn Miss St

 

This is how this season has gone and the biggest beneficiary will be the Frogs.

 

I'm not sure if you understand the question.

Will mirror the polls.

Florida State- Dont Deserve it in my mind, but will get in.

Oregon- Will win out

Auburn- Win SEC

Ohio State- Looked like crap last week but i think they beat MSU and NEB

[StPaulHusker]

I don't know what to expect from the committee but I guess I can see that if they are picking the 4 teams based on the playoffs starting now, I can see 3 teams from the SEC West.

 

But if they are looking at the fact that those 4 teams from the SEC West will cannibalize each other in the coming weeks, then I think their top 4 will look different.

[Count 'Bility]

watching CFB and CFL over lunch was just making me sick. Listening to these guys wine and moan over any notion or possibility whatsoever that the SEC would only have one team. It's ridiculous. Danny Kannell is the only guy with the cajones to stand up. They all say the same things. "It should be the four best teams........". Well, how do we know the SEC is so god damn great? They dont play anyone out of conference of any more substance than teams of any other conference. Everyone knows why this propping up is taking place anyway. With all that said, here's what I think will happen. And this will not necessarily reflect this first poll. I think it's gonna be 4 conference champions. Plain and simple. In it's first year, it'll make it easy to decipher. I think between the Pac12, Big12 and Big10, one of those conferences is going to play itself out of the playoff through attrition. If two of them do, an independant Notre Dame *should* be there waiting at the door. I just dont see the committee putting two teams from the same conference in. Becuase again, how do we know the SEC is so damn great if they get away with playing each other. Look, last year the SEC lost the championship game. The year before, their team had to back their way back in, and got off playing a severely overrated INDEPENDANT (no other conference represented). In 2011, it was the abomination of two SEC teams in the national title game. in 2010 Auburn literally barely squeeked by Oregon. In 2009, they faced a freshman backup qb, who still had Texas within striking distance. Hell, 2008 is pretty much where you have to go back to so say, yeah, that SEC team was better than anyone else. So, I think they'll put in 4 conference champs, and then we'll see if the SEC champ-who's supposed to damn much better than anyone period-can win it all. If yes, sure, then we'll give the SEC more benefit of doubt in future years. If no, well then, they can all shut the hell up. And nothing would please me more than to see a Big10 team knockout the SEC rep in the first round.

I think it's gonna be 4 conference champions. Plain and simple.

I do too, as long as they are one-loss conference champions.
