Who will play in this year's playoff?

[RU31trap]

I think Alabama is unstoppable. Call me crazy but I think Washington and Clemson remain undefeated. I believe Michigan suffers a loss against OSU and Louisville runs the table. OSU MOVES AHEAD OF LOUISVILLE IN THE RANKINGS!!

1.Alabama vs OSU
2. Clemson vs. Washington

Alabama and unfortunately Clepson. Would like to see OSU and Washington as well.

Washington better run the table AND win the PAC-12 championship game decisively. I think the powers that be are setting them up to get screwed.

Crazy? I think it's more likely than not Washington and Clemson remain undefeated. It is also. Ore likely than not the winner of Michigan OSU gets in. Alabama also likely to win out. You're prediction isn't crazy it's Chalk! And probably right.

It's more their nonconference schedule and down years for Oregon and Stanford that will screw them than any diabolical plan by the committee. But yes, Washington better go undefeated if it wants to ensure a spot. Otherwise a second team from the B1G or SEC would be very much in play.

Call me crazy, but I don't think Washington will remain undefeated. Their youth will have them trip up somewhere, despite their lackluster schedule.

Wouldn't shock me at all.

Bet all of Seattle will be pulling for an RU upset of Penn State.

For sure. But even if that did happen, I still wouldn't feel safe as a Washington fan unless they win out.

Don't rule out #8 Wisconsin .. their only losses this year were to Ohio State and Michigan - the two teams above them. One of them will win their game and be in the B1G championship, and Wisconsin (assuming OSU wins out, thus beating Nebraska) will be the other team - at least #7 in the poll. If they win that game, they could be in too. At #6 (at least) then, they would have to beat out A&M & Louisville, both of whom (assuming everything happens the way it should) will not even win their DIVISION, let alone their conference. So, WISCONSIN is my (not-so-)sleeper pick. With Bama, Clemson, and UW.

 

[Cheesesteak Vegas]

No one should rule out Wisconsin. In fact, few teams in the opening set of rankings should be ruled out entirely. This is college football, and we should all know by now to expect at least a little chaos. I believe Oklahoma was 15th in the initial '15 rankings.

I won't waste your time including the link that provides the narrative behind this photo - mostly because Penn State's chances are slim to none in terms of cracking the top four - but this should just serve as a reminder that it's way too soon to be overconfident in any playoff picks, outside of maybe Alabama. This thing could go off the rails.

Just call it: (1) SEC Champ, (2) B1G Champ, (3/4) Clemson/Washington/SEC/B1G

*Again, I repeat, I DO NOT think the below will happen...
