My Prediction for the College Football Playoffs

 

            The college football playoff is just around the corner and I want to list my predictions and what I do and don't want to happen in these upcoming weeks before.

            First off, me and along with many others DO NOT want to see Alabama in the final four, but there is somewhat of a chance that they will be. Right now in my opinion, if all of these teams win their conference title games, the final four should be, Georgia, Michigan, USC, and TCU not in any particular order.

            But, if one of those teams loses their conference title game it opens up a slot for Alabama to sneak into possibly the #4 spot. Right now I believe that Michigan and Georgia have their spots in the final four locked up but TCU and USC HAVE to win their conference title games.

            With LSU and Clemson losing, their chances at getting into the final four have diminished so the race has definitely narrowed down. One team that nobody is talking about is Ohio State who just got embarrassed at home by Michigan. They will definitely fall out of the top 4, but at the end of the day if they were to sneak into the playoff, they would be compared with Alabama.

            If I were in the playoff committee, my entire ballot would be based off of this upcoming weekend and who wins their conference titles. I think Michigan has a cake walk against Purdue and TCU, USC, and Georgia all have pretty tough opponents matched up for them.

            At the end of the day, it is always nice to see new teams in the playoff and not the same teams every year like Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson, etc. Hopefully this year we won't see Alabama or Ohio State and see new teams like USC and TCU.

            USC deserves every single ounce of respect after going through a completely new look of their team and overcoming their tough schedule. TCU has shocked many people with how dominant their offense has been last year and they need one more domination from their offense against Kansas State in the BIG 12 championship game.

            My final prediction for the college football playoff, as long as everything goes according to plan, is #1 Georgia, #2 Michigan, #3 USC, #4 TCU. That means Georgia will play TCU and Michigan would platy USC and the winner of those games would face each other. There may be a little bit of controversy over who gets the 3 and 4 between USC and TCU, but I believe USC has earned it more than TCU has.
