Who's going to make the Playoffs in 2016?

[rmilia1]

Clemson
Alabama
Oklahoma
Whoever wins the B10... lol. A lot of Michigan picks. Can't see it. Stanford loses too much... maybe UCLA?

 

[BoiseStateFan27]

Boise State
Alabama
Clemson
Baylor

 

[963BUSC]

Alabama
tOSU
Oklahoma
Clemson

I have 0 idea where the Baylor stuff is coming from. They lose their entire DL and I believe most of the OL. They will score, but I fully expect a down year. I would not be surprised to see them finish in the middle of the pack in the Big 12

I agree. Unless Baylor is more stocked than I think, I don't see them replacing some of those players. They'll look like they used to with no D-Line. They'll still be able to put points up but not enough.

 

[TigersBleaux]

Bama - as far as I can tell, they will get in every year.
OSU/Michigan Winner - Michigan bringing back lots of talent and OSU always reloads. Plus B1G schedule
FSU/Clemson winner - Clemson returning a ton of talent and I read FSU was returning all 11 offensive starters.
Oklahoma - Baker mayfield vs big 12 defenses... That is all.

Outside shot:
Tennessee
LSU
Houston

Clemson wasn't supposed to be good on the lines in 2015. They replaced 9 of 10 starters on the lines. With elite recruiting, lines in college can be easily replaced. And we all know that Art Briles is the best recruiter in the Big 12.

Boise State
Alabama
Clemson
Baylor

If Boise made the playoff, I think the board would explode in rage. That would be great to see.

I think Clemson is going to come back to reality and find a way to lose 2 or 3 regular season games, and FSU will win the Atlantic division. With that said. No ACC teams in the playoffs next year.

1. Baylor
2. Ohio State
3. Stanford
4. LSU

I think everyone is overreacting to the narrative of "LSU can't develop QBs." They will be the class of the SEC next year with Alabama slightly behind them. Basically, whoever wins the LSU Alabama game is going to rep the SEC in the playoff. Not buying Tennessee, Florida, or Georgia until they show it on the field.

Laaaaaaaaame. You really think 3 teams from this year's playoff will make again next year? Every team was new this year besides Alabama.

I do. Clemson is basically a lock imo. I'd consider Tennessee but they really haven't proven capable of winning the big conference games recently. Not sold on OU all the way but TCU and Baylor both lose a lot. The other teams people are listing either lose a bunch of would need to improve by a TON to make the CFP. Other teams like LSU, FLORIDA, MICHIGAN have squat at QB It's not a very exciting prediction but it's what I'd say right now

People are picking off this year rather than next year I think.

Nobody is a lock. It's extremely difficult to maintain success.

Teams lose games they shouldn't lose every week.

That said I picked GT, AZ ST, AUBURN and OSU this year so what the fuck do I know ? Lol

Sure but I'd put Clemson in that group now that can afford a loss and I really can't see them losing more than 1 if they lose at all

 

[handicappers]

Houston

Notre Dame

Stanford

LSU

Clemson is basically a lock imo.

Florida State returns more than they do and they play at Florida State this time. Louisville is returning 18 starters and will be a very competitive team next year. Clemson also plays at Auburn to open the season. Auburn is going to improve. No way they continue to fall. Clemson will definitely have a tougher road next season. It's not even close to a lock. Clemson could lose 2 or 3 games easily.

Exactly. And everyone selling Baylor short I think are going to be in for a surprise next year.

I was a little better than you but not much. I picked FSU, Bama, Stanford and tOSU. At least i got one!

If I could predict worth a shit, I'd win the frickin' Powerball tonight!

 

[UNA Lion]

Bama wont make it. As tOSU found out this year, team attittude is everything for a defending champ and we are not gonna be as hungry next year. We will lose 2 games.

Concur. Very hard to pull off back-to-back national championships.





... well, outside of Division III and FCS anyway.

I noticed a little interesting tidbit yesterday when I was looking at 2016 OOC schedules. Houston opens with OU and Louisville visits Houston on Nov 19 next year.
