I'm having a hard time picking a fourth team. Can't decide on if 2 SEC teams or 2 big ten teams get in. Or maybe the Pac 12 winner does. ..

I have OSU winning it all.

1-tOSU,
2-Bama
3-Clemson
4-Stanford

tOSU was probably the best team last year, had a bad day at the wrong time and unlike Bama it knocked them out of the playoffs. Clemson has the easiest road, only a couple of test on the schedule and got hot in the playoffs last year, defense lost a good bit, but they will put some points on the board as long as Watson is healthy. Stanford is just a guess, PAC10 didn't get in last year and I don't think they get left out 2 years in a row. Bama likely has the best team in the SEC, but they have a tough time with qbs who can run the ball effectively and will have to handle 2 of them this year with Kelly at OM and Dobbs at UT. OM beat them and UT was leading with less than 3 to go. I think Bama has the toughest time getting there, I can see a 2 loss SEC champion. If that happens, things could get real interesting on who gets in and who doesn't.

* Dark Horse - Houston

- Included a 5th team to watch out for. Houston is returning a lot of starters from a 13-1 team last year that throttled Florida State in the Peach Bowl. Their first game of the year is against Oklahoma and they also play Louisville so they have 2 chances to get wins against good teams.

Bama
LSU (Yes they come back this year)
Ohio St
FSU

If LSU can't solve their qb issues I don't think they will even be top 2 in the West. Fournette is a neck of a running back, but without some kind of passing threat I don't think they can beat Bama or OM, they are better than stout against the run.

I will be surprised if 2 teams from the same conference get in, not with 5 conferences and all 5 wanting to be represented.
