    Default College football starts in 7 weeks!!

    Who will dominate? Who will fold?

    Who will make the playoffs?

    Right now I see Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State making the playoffs. Who will be the 4th team?

    Alabama will be the 4th. Auburn will be the SEC Champ. Nah, just kidding. Malzahn will find a way to fuck it all up.

    I agree with your top 3 picks and I think for the 4th team it's a toss up between Stanford, Washington, and Oklahoma. All three of those teams will lose a game that they shouldn't, it's just a question of when and to who.

    Malzahn is one of those coaches who do well but can't seem to get to the big game.

    I think we will see Alabama, Clemson and OSU in the playoffs regularly. Not just because of the talent they get, but because they have, imho, the 3 best coaches in football today.

    After the screw job Central Florida got last year, it's hard to take the college playoffs seriously.

    That's ok. If you like college football, by all means enjoy it.

    I get turned off when a player is interviewed and he can't make an intelligible, grammatically correct sentence.
    He obviously didn't do the work to deserve being in college.

    Also, when one is accustomed to watching Tom Brady run the highly sophisticated Erhardt-Perkins offense with such precision, college football is pretty hard to watch in comparison. I catch a Boston College or Harvard game from time to time, if I'm really desperate for something to watch, but that's about it.

    I'm sure there are players who can't form grammatically correct sentences. There are also players who compete for Rhodes scholarships or graduate Summa Cum Laude.

    If you prefer pro football, by all means watch it. I like the intensity of college ball. Many of the players know they will never play on Sundays. But the play their hearts out for the love of the game and for their school.

    What you say is true. You make a good argument for your game.

    Football is only my third favorite spectator sport after boxing and baseball, but I do watch the sixteen Patriots games every year.

    College football is my favorite spectator sport by a wide margin. I'm glad the Patriots make good use of Donte Hightower.

    The Bucks have a good shot at it but the Big10 East is real tough this year. More than likely they’re will be four teams with 9 wins or more. I’m making no predictions after the last two years when the CFP made two very bad decisions. The CFP needs to start docking the SEC teams for four game non conference schedule and no true road games against top 5 conference opponents. If the SEC had played 9 conference games there wouldn’t have been two SEC teams in the playoffs. A situation that the CFP was meant to discourage. Neutral field games during the regular season should be prohibited.

    In fact I think the rules should change so that for the five power conferences all non conference games should be against power five opponents. I hate that half the games or more are against teams you don’t want to pay money to see play.

    If those three are in the playoff, hopefully the other team will win it all.

    Likely they will not.

    This is nonsense. "continuity problem"? Yeah, I get that you want to see someone else win the championship. Fine. All it takes is for a team to step up.

    The reason Alabama has done what it has done is that it requires excellence. Clemson stepped up and beat Bama in the NC game 2 years ago. Ohio State beat Bama in the playoff game a few years ago.
