2017 College Football Playoff Predictions

Definitely wouldn't mind seeing some "parity" that puts those four teams in, but I think Feldman is more realistic. I don't see how anyone can pick against Bama in a mediocre SEC to not end up in the top 4. I do like USC over Washington, though (hopefully this is finally the year the South gets over on the North), and I think it's possible that we could see two Big 10 teams. Wisconsin doesn't play PSU or OSU, gets Michigan at home and has a very reasonable OOC schedule. They could easily be 12-0 going into the B10CG against an undefeated OSU/PSU team.

Bama loses to FSU in the first game and then to Auburn in the Iron Bowl, not hard at all to see them miss the playoff.
Oklahoma State seems like a very easy bet to make the playoff with Stoops retiring.
I don't really see two Big-10 teams, even if Wisconsin is 12-0 if they lose the champ game they will drop out and if they win the other team will drop out.
Honestly though, I just tried to be a little different and not pick Bama, FSU, Ohio State and USC.
Fair enough, but there's no chance a 12-1 Wisconsin/PSU/OSU gets left out, so two BIG teams could definitely happen. I also don't think "easy bet to make the CFP" and "Big 12" have ever gone together.

Yes there is, if two of those teams are 12-1/11-1 but USC/UW is 12-1, OSU is 12-1 and Bama is 12-1, one of those two teams is getting left out and that doesn't even count if the ACC has a team at 12-1 as well.

beware the habu
Okie lite is this year's trendy pick. A lot of the national pundits are overlooking a defense that is replacing 8 starters and will be relying on younger players.
Huge trap game at Pitt.

Are you predicting that either USC or Washington won't reach the Pac-12 championship game, but both will make the playoff? Or that both reach the CCG and both make the playoff despite one having just lost?
Could be similar to the Big 10 situation. Both teams could be 12-0 going into the P12 CG. Depending on other programs, could the loser of that game with only 1 loss still get in?
They both make the Pac-12 championship, but end up with one loss or less.
I think the SEC ends up being chaotic and the Big 12 Championship game will actually cost that conference a spot, which will end up helping out the Pac-12 in a big way.
