Cant wait for this A&M-TENN game, both teams show CFP potential (more so AM than TEN) but this is about the time of year when AM falls apart.
 
Lol at Houston. There's a reason why they play the game on the field and not on paper.
 
I watch a lot of cfb and I think the best teams, in this order, are:

1. Alabama
2. Ohio State
3. Washington
4. Michigan
5. Clemson
6. Louisville


Now, I'm going to throw out a MAJOR sleeper who could imo still make the playoff. I don't think they would but should what I'm about to describe happen, I think there's a chance of it, especially since we know one of OSU/Michigan will lose, one of Louisville/Houston will lose again, and more losses will come for some of the top teams.

LSU, currently unranked, could go to the playoff. They'd have to win out and it's unlikely but given how they played with their new (interim?) coach last weekend, I think they could be motivated and focused and have a very outside shot of doing it. They have as much talent as anyone. Go look at NFL mock drafts. They have 5-6 projected first rounders. And with a very experienced and talented defense, the best rb in the country (if healthy) and a perhaps more focused offense, I could see them winning at Florida (garbage offense--should the game be rescheduled), at home vs Ole Miss, and then shocking people vs Alabama (home night game in Death Valley) before continuing to run the table and get into the SEC championship game, and winning that too. If they did all that, a 2 loss LSU team that was that hot and would have won at Florida, vs Ole Miss, vs Bama, vs Arkansas, at A&M, and the SEC title game will have skyrocketed up the rankings and made it possible and very tough for voters to pass up.

We're on a collision course for an epic Ohio St./Michigan vs Bama national championship....LSU is a stupid sleeper imo.

That's fine. You can think that. But Death Valley in prime time is brutal, their d is insanely talented, and this is not one of Bama's great, great defenses. And again, it's why I said a super sleeper.

Gun to my head right now, the Buckeyes win it all. I think they win by 14-21 vs Michigan. And Meyer owns Saban.
