LA Rams, Chicago Bears, Philadelphia Eagles and New Orleans Saints from the NFC.

Packers and Redskins in the wildcard.
 
KC Chiefs, NE Patriots, Jacksonville Jaguars, Baltimore Ravens from the AFC.

Titans and Broncos in the wildcard.
 
ND in the playoffs would really rankle my hide. Hate those ööööers who get a free pass to the playoff every year as long as they only lose 1 game or less with their carefully constructed schedule.

Hard to see anyone but these 4, and Alabama would be favored by at least a TD against any of them...

As long as Alabama takes care of uga in SECCG, I am happy...

I'm not convinced UGA makes the SECCG. They are about to play @LSU, Florida, @Kentucky, and Auburn in consecutive games. They're not going to win all 4, and even 3-1 could mean losing the East if they lose the wrong game. Florida only has 1 SEC loss, and their remaining SEC games are against USCe, Vandy, and Missouri. Beat UGA and they probably win the East. Kentucky also has 1 loss and only has Vandy, Tennessee, and Missouri, so they could end up 7-1 as well if they beat UGA.

UGA loses to us and Bama, which knocks them out of contention.

I'd say the first three have to really wet the bed not to make it in. Notre Dame I really don't know enough about.

They are a huge draw though. $$$$ is important

problem is a 1-loss, missed-SECCG team of mutts could fall ass-backwards into the playoff due to stupid rankings and SEC love.

I hope you're right though. öööö the mutts and all their players, coaches, fans and especially that stupid ööööing inbred mascot.
 
Looking at ND's schedule, it's not that impressive. Their Marquee win was against Michigan at the beginning the of the year. They got a huge bump in rankings for beating Stanford who just got bombed by Utah. They beat VT who also lost to ODU (wtf!). There isnt a Marquee team left on their schedule. It's the "lack of schedule" that kept 13-0 UCF out last year. Of course we know the hypocritical committee will not keep a big name like ND out. CFB is corrupt and completely unfair.

Spot-on. I just hope NW or Syracuse knocks the ööööers out in the next month. Navy looks pretty bad this year, unfortunately, as they've given Shame trouble recently.

Georgia will be heavily favored in all their remaining games. The most likely scenario is they reach the SECCG undefeated in the regular season. Even if they lost a close game to Alabama they would have a case to be in the final four. The weakness of the ACC bumps Clempsen. So you have Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and who's left?

I don't see them being heavily favored against LSU. Maybe favored by 3, but LSU is the toughest defense UGAg will face by far this season.
 
ACC: Clemson is the only real option. Now that their QB situation is figured out they are going to put up some points. Their game against Wake was their first real complete game.

SEC: Bama... I don't think they lose this year. Georgia will give them some trouble in the SECCG, but I think they win it all. If they go against Clemson in the CFP we will have a good show on our hands.

Big 12: I really struggle here with Texas vs. West Virginia. Texas has the loss to Maryland and West Virginia has the cancelled game with NC State. WV also has to play Oklahoma still and Texas has a downhill ride (sans their head-to-head). This one is tough. I say West Virginia.

Big 10: We will likely see another Ohio State vs. Wisconsin in the championship game. Wisconsin is good, but Ohio State has the better resume. I will take Ohio State.

PAC 12: Colorado is 5-0 right now, but they are also entering the core of their schedule. Washington may finish the season with 1 loss. I think we're going to get a lot of 1-2 loss teams in the PAC 12.

Notre Dame: They're really hot and cold this year, but their only remaining decent opponents are USC, Pitt, and Syracuse. I think they will finish the season with a better resume than Ohio State with both winning against the same opponents. Then again, they're hot and cold so they could easily drop one.

My Take:
1. Bama
2. Clemson
3. Notre Dame
4. West Virginia

This.. UGA may have a better chance at the playoffs by not going to the seccg
 
Shoo in: Alabama, then no particular order
Ohio State, Clemson, Penn State, ND, Texas, GA, WVa.
I hope ND gets left out, forcing them to join us outright.
