Predictions for the College Football Playoff

Predictions for the College Football Playoff

1. Oklahoma

2. Michigan State

3. Stanford

4. Ohio State

Baker Mayfield

1. For Oklahoma to get the first seed, they need the two teams in front of them to lose, which means North Carolina winning against Clemson and Florida winning against Alabama. This can happen as Florida is an up and down team and I think they will play a very good game against Alabama. Clemson will lose because they almost lost to a 3-8 South Carolina and they look very vulnerable.

2. Michigan State needs to win the Big Ten Championship and they will make it. Iowa may be undefeated, but their best win was against Northwestern while Michigan State beat marquee teams like Oregon, Michigan, and Ohio State. The way they rolled Penn State yesterday, Iowa doesn’t stand a chance.

3. Stanford needs a lot of help. It needs Clemson, Alabama, and Iowa to lose. It also needs to beat USC in a very convincing fashion so it can leapfrog Ohio State to the third seed. I think they can do 

it, and they played well and mistake-free against a very good Notre Dame team last night.

4. Ohio State has to hope that the committee sees them as a better team than North Carolina. North Carolina has a loss to South Carolina and wins against two FCS teams. Ohio State crushed Michigan. North Carolina can improve their resume by beating Clemson, but even if they do that, they can’t get past Ohio State.
