College Football Playoffs

[Andrej]

Predictions about the 4 teams that'll make it into the first ever CFB Playoff?

[Clovdyx]

Alabama, Oregon, FSU, Oklahoma.

[Clovdyx]

Have they announced how the playoffs will co-exist with bowl games?

[Andrej]

Not a bad 4. Might pick a different team out of the Pac-12 though, and I think Ohio State has a shot too if they stay undefeated.

 

Winner of Clemson-FSU goes, I think.

 

As far as the ball games, I'm not sure. I know they plan to have the semi-final games in BCS venues (I think the Sugar Bowl and Fiesta Bowl maybe?) with the finale likely being in Pasadena.

 

I think adding the Cotton Bowl (Jerryland) is also in the discussion.

Unless there are huge shakeups later, I think Ohio State's chances were significantly reduced this past weekend.

I'd love to see a Auburn / FSU rematch for the national championship this year.

 

War Eagle!

At this point, I can't see a scenario where a Big 10 team makes it (sadly).  OSU shot themselves in the foot with that loss to VT, and MSU got beat solidly by Oregon.  I think the biggest questions now are whether USC can upset Oregon to sneak in and if Alabama can run the SEC.

[Andrej]

Oregon goes if they win the P12, hands down.

 

Oklahoma goes if they win the B12, no doubt.

 

Winner of the ACC/SEC likely to fill out the other 2 spots.

 

At this point, unless someone from the B1G emerges and runs the table - I agree that they likely won't be represented in the F4.
