| Not going to lie, the first season into this playoff season makes things a lot interesting. Predict your Final 4 for the College Football Playoffs, alongside with who's winning the Heisman candidates. |

| College Football sucks anymore.
1. Mississippi State 2. Alabama 3. Auburn 4. Ole Miss
(As if the NCAA wants anything other than this, don't lie to yourselves.)
SEC this, SEC that. Nothing else. Only in the SEC can you get 2 or 3 loses and be given the excuse, "Oh, the conference just beats up on each other is all." Everyone else in that situation gets the, "They're just not as good as we thought they were." So when Oregon loses another game, albeit against similar caliber teams like ASU, Arizona, etc etc, they won't get the same benefit of the doubt. |

| Eh, I think there will be only one SEC team in the playoffs, max would be only two.
1. Mississippi State, 2. Florida State, 3. Oregon and I pray to god that one of TCU/Baylor get the 4th spot because it's so boring to see Bama being in the spotlight.
As for the Heisman, I believe Prescott will get a few votes but it's basically Mariota's trophy to lose. Wouldn't hurt my feelings if Boykin or Gordon wins the Heisman either |

| There will be at least 3, and that's because of SEC bias. Book it. And it will be the biggest joke ever. |

| I can only hope that your opinion is wrong. Explain to me how Bama beating #16 LSU in OT is a better win than TCU dominating #7 KSU? Whatever, I hope there's at least two just so two SEC teams can lose in the semi-finals if they don't face one and another. |

You're not wrong in seeing that TCU's win is more impressive than Alabama's. It's just the bias that the NCAA and media show forth SEC's way. It's idiotic and unfair. I know how they work. They'll see a 2-loss SEC team more impressive than a 2-loss BIG 12/PAC-12 team even though I disagree whole-heartedly. But they'll do it anyway. |

| My final four will be
1. Alabama 2. Mississippi State 3. TCU 4. Baylor
This season has been interesting. I predict at least two SEC teams to make in the semi finals. The conference is tough but there are a lot of good teams out there. |

| The SEC gets 0 teams because they all eliminate each other.
I'm predicting the next Final 4 to look like this.
1. Miss. State 2. Florida State 3. Oregon 4. Alabama
Miss. State still has games against Alabama and Ole Miss (who despite two losses I still feel is the best team in the state), I'm predicting a loss in both those games. It'll give Ole Miss a boost, not enough of one to jump into the top 4 and it will most likely catapult Alabama to the #2 spot, if not #1.
BUT Alabama also has to play Auburn in the Iron Bowl, and again.. I think Auburn is a better, more complete team. I'm predicting Auburn to knock off Alabama in the Iron Bowl.
Now here's where it gets interesting.
Let's say Alabama is at #2 when they lose to Auburn to get their second loss, do they drop out of the Top 4? Normally, I would say no... but I can't overlook what the committee did to Ole Miss.
Granted, I know they were consecutive but they lost to LSU at Death Valley by 3 points and their second loss came to Auburn, also by 3 points, a game which they would have won if it weren't for that terrible, unfortunate fumble at the 1 yard line. That dropped them I believe 8 spots. 8 SPOTS! There's no way you can drop Ole Miss 8 spots and then somehow try to justify only dropping Alabama down 2... or less.
My final Top 4 is.
1. Florida State 2. Oregon 3. TCU 4. Baylor |

1. Florida State 2. Oregon 3. TCU 4. Baylor You have two Big 12 teams? Woah. Then again, FWIW the Big 12 has been nothing but entertaining. I'm pulling for both Baylor and TCU to get represented because I'm really sick of the media to not give the Big 12 any media attention. |
