The College Football Playoff will have an unfamiliar site this season: no Alabama Crimson Tide. The CFP Selection Committee isn’t used to this and ESPN didn’t hesitate when it came to making fun of the Committee:
The Playoff will feature: LSU, Ohio State, Clemson, and Oklahoma in what should be the most drama free top four ever. Years like this show why it wouldn’t make sense for the Playoff to expand. College football should only reward the elite teams of the nation.
It’ll be interesting to see which two-loss team is ranked highest. Georgia, Penn State, Oregon, Florida, Alabama, and Baylor all have a case to be the highest ranked team outside of the Playoff. UGA has the most impressive resume of all these teams and beat Florida, so they should get the nod as the highest ranked SEC team. Expect UGA to play Baylor in the Sugar Bowl.
