Last year in the CFP rankings, #10 Kansas St beat #3 TCU in the Big 12 Championship. For the final CFP rankings, K St moved up one slot to #9 and TCU stayed at #3. CFP reasoning was TCU remaining undefeated in the regular season was reason enough. But we shall see!

OP can't possibly be a serious prediction.


I predict;

Michigan
Washington
FSU
Texas


I'd go with:

Michigan
Washington
Texas
Alabama

Committee guidelines say to consider injured players.

I think the most interesting point no one is talking about is that the CFP has literally written into its principles a justification for leaving out FSU.

The ONLY unknown is which one loss team will get in with the 3 unbeaten teams.

They could go with Texas or Bama and say something to justify it.

My total guess on who they will pick is Alabama.

I think FSU gets jumped by tu.

Michigan v FSU in Rose
Washington v tu in Sugar

tu then gets quasi home field for championship at NRG.

Hate that I have to cheer for Michigan now.

Bama lost a key WR in the SEC champ game two years ago. It clearly hurt them from winning it all.

Ohio State lost their QB and still ended up winning it all.

They are not leaving FSU out.

Losing a QB has much bigger affect on team than a WR

Compare tOSU in CCG to FSU in CCG. cardale jones & tOSU still dominated.


But as I said, I think fsu is in and have always said undefeated power 5 will never be left out. So I agree with you.

You're dreaming

And FSU will have their back up that was figuring things out against the Gators. Not the true fish who had not played and that clearly was not ready.

If they leave out FSU. It has nothing to do with the QB injury. It has to do with politics. What's funny is I'm not sure if Texas has the politics advantage in this one looking at the committee.

Washington
Michigan
Alabama
tu

Based on what happened with TCU last year…I could see:

Michigan
Washington
FSU
Georgia

Texas
Bama

No chance UGA over bana

TCU not comparable. They lost a rematch & kxu had two losses. They weren't a CFP possibility.

1) Michigan
2) Washington
3) Alabama
4) Florida St

The subjective nature of this is a joke and has been for years.

FSU will probably get screwed based on TV sets and the committee will blame it on their QB. Yes they look like the weakest team but we're going off looks. Really

Texas gets in over Georgia because of conf title argument. Are all cconf champ the same? Last I checked the SEC has dominated the playoffs since 2015. So why give equal weighting.

Georgia and Bama have way better SOS than OSU who played nobody and Texas got beat by OU.

Texas getting all kinds of kudos for bkasting a crappy defense on the weak 12 title game. Great job for rolling up a mediocre team and one of the worst defenses in the Big 12.

OSU played nobody. Only ranked win was vs Penn State and Pnn State played nobody. Nor did they beat anybody so why was Penn State ranked?

Committe of elites iof which several don't know football who will be changing the lives of these kids forever. That's sounds about right.

Michigan
Washington
sip
Bama

People are extremely delusional if they think sip gets left out.

Florida State without Travis would get destroyed in the playoffs.

Yah, they won last night, but this time FSU is getting left out.

Odds to make the College Football Playoff:
Texas -375
Alabama +134
Florida St -480
Georgia +1600

Setting conf championship aside, does anyone think FSU could beat tu or Bama in a play in game without their starting QB? No way.

Bama and tu are attached at the hip due to the head to head win for tu. If Bama is in, tu must be in.

What I think it will be
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. FSU
4. Texas

What I think it should be
1. Washington
2. Michigan
3. Texas
4. Alabama

Did you watch Texas's games this year?


FSU with their backup QB, not their 3rd string true fish is a lot better than several of the teams Texas squeaked by. So yes, FSU can beat Texas.

Jaydon Daniels is probably winning the Heisman. Did you forget what that FSU defense did to LSU in the second half. Completely shut them down. LSU got a very late garbage TD.

This. That defense is legit. And QB2 would be back for the playoffs.

Last year was a far different scenario. There were no other undefeated or 1 loss teams that could go above TCU.

Clearly they belonged over Michigan. Georgia was the clear leader last year but last year has zero impact on this year.

Are you applying the same test to FSU? They only beat Boston College by 2, needed overtime to beat an unranked Clemson team and did not look good offensively against Louisville last night.


If FSU played tu next week tu would be favored by double digits.
