#1 - Michigan
#2 - Alabama
#3 - Oklahoma
#4 - Clemson

First of all. I am a homer ... never picking against Michigan. I then went with the three other best teams. I place Clemson at #4 so that we could beat them before beating Alabama.

Why no Oregon? I doubt Washington has a snowball's chance in hell with all the starters they lost but I stuck 'em in my list anyways.
Washington made your list?

I see Oregon as a talented team with a very difficult schedule. They're not good enough to beat all of Auburn, Stanford, UW, USC, ASU on the road. I see a couple of losses there.

Most realistic:

Clemson, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma

Best shot to knock off and/or replace one of the above teams:

Ohio St., Oregon, Texas, Notre Dame

Best chance to beat one of the above teams but still not make the playoffs:

Michigan, Texas A&M, Washington, Florida

Teams that will look good at the end of the year, but whose early losses or weaker schedules will keep them out of the playoffs:

Penn St., UCF, Washington St., Iowa

Not seeing much of a chance Oregon is in the mix. They're probably a 3rd/4th tier team in the country this year.

I look at the Pac-12 & I see a lot of 3rd tier/4th tier teams, but if they manage to go 12-1 or 13-0 they could squeeze in ahead of another team that picked the wrong time to lose.

That's the only way it can happen. I just don't see any of them being able to overcome the other ones. Oregon, Washington, Stanford are all basically 8-4 teams in the SEC, B1G, or Big 12. I also don't think 12-1 gets a Pac12 team in unless there's total chaos in the rest of the P5.

I'd put UGA at 1, but a 1 seed has yet to win it all, and I believe in Voodoo.

Uggh, I hope not. I'm tired of Clemson kicking Oklahoma's and Ohio State's asses. We've beaten them more than we've beaten Furman, the Citadel, and Wofford the past 5-6 years. Let's get some new blood in there (Nebraska would be neat considering 1981, and we haven't beaten the Huskies or the Ducks before), or skip the first round and just let us have Rocky V.

12-1 Oregon team with a win over Auburn gets in the CFP...book it.

Now I think the Ducks likely drop 2-3 games, so this is probably moot

Yeah, I dunno. Honestly I almost picked auburn instead of bama. I think your boys are the only garuntee. An truthfully that’s only because I expect the ACC to be awful again.
