I checked some preseason rankings and came up with 8 teams for a theoretical playoff. Lemme know who you think will win each matchup and I'll continue.
1. Clemson 8 Oregon (Pac rep)
2. Alabama 7. Notre Dame
3. UGA 6. Michigan
4. Ohio State 5. Oklahoma
I could argue for Texas somewhere. I limited this to two teams from any conference. I don't think UGA can really end up at 3 and Bama at 2 but whatever, I didn't want a rematch.
Now, these won't be the "final 8" of course, and the outcomes are debatable perhaps outside the top 2. Who do you have for the Final Four?
