CFB National Championship Poll

I put GA in the poll because they have the shortest odds. From a betting prospective I'm thinking about Utah and UNC. Both schools have great, experienced quarterbacks, manageable schedules and very long odds.

UNC is a good dark-horse...Mack Brown has those boys rolling offensively and their QB is going to be a great one at this rate...and being in the ACC may help too. Grew up in CH with Mack's kid years ago, was ticked when he left for Texas but glad he's back in blue heaven..

Wouldn't count out Pac 12 champ, inlcuding non-USC teams

Otherwise probably Georgia, Bama, OSU, Michigan

Texas is intriguing to get into the playoff, probably be favored in nearly all their games outside of the early trip to Tuscaloosa. If, and it’s a big if, they won that game they’d be in the drivers seat for a playoff berth. Even if they lose, that would be viewed favorably in the sense that’s it’s an early season away game against an elite opponent, as long as they don’t get skull dragged. Texas does seem to always fuck up a good thing though.

The PAC will be tough outside of USC, I assume, the conference is really bad and the other top two sides Oregon/Washington don’t play anyone of note in non-conference, they’d likely have to run the table with a weak schedule/weak conference. USC could get in with one loss and does have a “marquee” non-conference game at Notre Dame.

Actually the conference is looking pretty tough this year. Top half , no easy wins. Wouldn't be surprised to see 5-6 ranked teams for most of the year.

Good points

But honestly think they'll find a way to do Texas things and go like 8-4 or 9-3

Good chance it will be the same 3 teams with another suprise team like TCU as usual. GA, OSU, ALA, MICH (3 of those teams) and a suprise team that will get clobbered in the playoff
