Buckeyes Wire staff College Football predictions: Who will make the College Football Playoff?

We can now say that college football has officially kicked off with a couple of rather high-profile games Saturday night (by the way, not sure what I just watched in Florida). Ohio State and the rest of the country get things rockin’ and rollin’ this weekend, so it seems like a perfect time for our Buckeyes Wire staff predictions.

We’ll be doing game-by-game predictions throughout the year, but first up are questions like who’ll be in the College Football Playoff, what players will go to New York for as Heisman finalists, and who will win the Big Ten.

We’re moving on with our picks on what teams will make the 2019 College Football Playoff, and if anyone besides Clemson or Alabama will hoist the trophy when its all said and done

Clemson
Alabama
Ohio State

Georgia

Unfortunately the current College Football Playoff Committee has been intent on making their own mark and valuing the eye-ball test way too much. It actually put a two-loss Georgia, non-SEC champion ahead of a one-loss Big Ten Champion Ohio State. Given the chance, the committee will break the seal on putting a two-loss SEC runner up in. It’ll happen this year with Alabama and Georgia. Ohio State and Clemson also get in.

Winner: Alabama gets revenge and beats the Tigers in the national championship game.

Clemson and Alabama seem to be a given every year.  Oklahoma doesn’t miss a beat in a weak Big 12.  Despite what the “experts” say, I still think Ohio State beats Michigan to get back to Indy.

Winner: Clemson
