Oregon & Alabama: Without Question!
FSU: If you’re undefeated/untied in a Big5 conference you deserve to be in a playoff and prove it on the field.
Ohio State: This is the toughest one but ulitmately they’re the once that demonstrated the best this last week of why they should be #4
I concur. And frankly I’m okay with geographically aligning the playoff (Alabama/FSU, Oregon/OSU). For everybody except OSU, it’s best for the fans and the teams from a travel-cost perspective.
I’ll third that. I’ll also toss in Baylor at 5, ahead of TCU. I think wins should be more important than losses, especially early season losses.
ETA:
And Pac 12 against Big Ten in the Rose Bowl, as God intended.
