CFP 2020/21 Who is in?

[Irishman]

In my opinion you have

1. Bama

2. Clemson

3. Ohio State

4. Texas A&M

Had Notre Dame been competitive in the ACC Title game, they may have been able to hang on to the 4 spot. As @temptation said in the ND thread, there are just 3 teams in the top tier (the 3 I have ranked above). Anyone else is lucky to be close. The disparity in the number of 5 star recruits is obvious on this level. The rest are just scrambling for that top spot in tier 2.

Eh, Iowa State got their “bad losses” out of the way early.  
 

I am convinced that Florida did not plummet simply to maintain interest in the SEC title game.

This isn’t still about Indiana is it?

Alabama

Clemson

OSU

A & M

OR........

My wish:

Alabama

Clemson

A & M

Indiana, Coastal Carolina, teams that were snubbed NY6 Bowls to teams with 3 losses.

Have they released those matchups?  Do you have inside info?

Embracing and expecting it.

Didn't they have the selection show today?  Who are the 4 teams?

[Whiting89]

This is what I don’t understand 

notre dame  and Texas a&m already got blasted by Clemson and bama so why are they 4 and 5?

give cinncy a chance 

also if you are truly doing the 4 best teams consider Florida and Georgia 

Florida played bama tough as anyone this year and Georgia was without their starting QB in the beginning of the year.

I believe you forgot that Notre Dame also beat Clemson on November 7th.

IU was overlooked because, well they're IU I guess.  IU was more deserving that some who received NY6 bids

Bama vs. ND in the Rose Bowl @Dallas.  Man can California screw things up.  Doesn't look good for ND.  I want them to win, but I'll take Bama to name their score.

OSU and Clemson.  Clemson by name their score.

Bama vs. Clemson.

Bama by 10+.

I'll take Clemson over Bama. Trevor Lawrence is the best player in the country by far.

Yeah, too bad he'll be a Jaguar or a Jet in the pros.

Where QBs go to pasture. Or can he pull a John Elway/Eli Manning tantrum?

The Irish strategy of making the opponent overconfident is firmly in place.

[southend]

Good strategy. Hope it works.

If recent CFP performances are any indication, it won't.

Love my Irish, but also a realist.

There is a HUGE talent gap between Bama/Clemson and the rest of all football playing teams except 30 of the NFL teams.

Just saw on ESPN the final coaches poll came out. Dabo ranked Ohio State 11. 😄
