Herbstreit hands out his CFB playoff picks


by - Assoc. Editor -

Another day and another College Football Playoff projection.

ESPN College Football commentator Kirk Herbstreit is one of the more well-respected members of the press and he spoke with USA TODAY Sports recently and gave his college football playoff picks.

"I’m going to go Alabama and Clemson … just, like, put them in," he said. "And then I’m going to go Penn State and Washington."

Herbstreit thinks that Alabama and Clemson will meet again in a tetralogy as the Crimson Tide will win the title again.

"If those are the four, then it’ll be ‘Bama and probably Washington, and Clemson and Penn State," he said. "I’m just trying to go with anybody but Alabama and Clemson, but I think it’s going to be Alabama and Clemson. And I think Alabama is going to beat Clemson in what, round four now?"
