I was surprised by Clemson's rating as well.

Clemson's 2017 ranking drops them a bit, it was "only" 16th overall.

Every class since then has been top 10.

Did they look back at the previous playoff teams to see if they all fit into this group?  I suspect a few didn't.  Michigan State?  Washington?

But in general ...

"We" have almost penciled in Ohio State, OU, and Clemson, and you could then pencil in Bama/UF/UGA, and we're done.  Probably.  Maybe.

It's not playoff teams, just title winners. 

Florida has a legit HC now and our talent level is getting back to be top 5-8, where it should be.  Once we get some OL that can run-block, I think we'll be an annual top-5 program again.  What we did last year with no running game was pretty amazing.
Georgia fans know we're on the cusp.

You can be a top five team with two losses obviously, so it's not a huge stretch to have 3 from one conference, but it probably will be "unusual".

If Georgia can find a QB and OL this year, they should be very good.  Something was missing on offense last year, at least when their two top receivers were out.  Florida has the disadvantage of being paired with LSU in the West, if you think LSU is a bit better than Auburn, and to date they have not recruited as well as UGA.

Dan's issue is he's not that much of a grinder as a recruiter and he keeps taking really talented kids whose heads aren't on straight. He always feels to me like a coach that can get you to that 95th percentile, but not to that Urban peak (weirdly, Kirby is in the 97th percentile, but there may be a UGA factor there)

That said, he'll raise the floor of a program, and with a high floor, you get close a lot, which is of course the best place to break through from.

And they didn't exactly acquit themselves well.

Well, I figure the list could be teams most likely to make the playoffs, as well as win the NC (something that can be luck as much as ability).

But we have a couple apparent outliers, even if they did not fare well.

I think you can be good, but not great, but you get a couple bounces, a couple schedule breaks, and wind up in the CFP.  But then actually beating two teams of that caliber, back to back, you can't fluke your way to that.
