Ohio State is not one of the top four. They were an interception in the chest and an addition problem away from losing to what turned out to be a mediocre Notre Dame team.
Were down at halftime to Rutgers, tied with barely bowl eligible Maryland and in a dogfight with a barely bowl eligible Wisconsin.
Hell, had the scoop and score not been overturned against Penn State, they very well could have lost that one.
I know it was early but don’t even get me started on their game against Indiana. There is something to be said for going 11-1 and winning despite playing poorly but they don’t pass the eye test.
Washington has struggled since they were gifted a game by Oregon and I expect them to go down Friday.
FSU just isn’t the same though if they pull it out Saturday night they’ll have 3+ weeks to get their QB ready. They are not one of the best four currently but you cannot leave an undefeated P5 champ out.
The Bama/UGA/Texas phenomenon will be fascinating if Bama wins. No way the SEC gets left out as they have dominated the sport since the playoff system began.
As a UM fan, Georgia and Oregon scare me the most. I’d love to get Washington or FSU in the semi.
(Of course I was thrilled with the TCU draw last year and we saw how that turned out.)
What I expect tonight.
1. Georgia
2. Michigan
3. Washington
4. Florida State
5. Ohio State
6. Oregon
7. Texas
8. Alabama
