All honesty I think the sleeper is gonna be Georgia... Im gonna say top 4 is Clemson, Gerogia, ohio state, Ucla/Ou...I think Alabama loses reg season game then loses to Uga in SEC championship. thats my dark horse.... Although I would love for it to be CLEMSON VS ALABAMA REMATCH!!!!!!!!

I just have trouble putting Houston in ahead of a P5 team with 1 loss ...say an LSU , because the Cougar schedule is so fluffy ...like care bear kinda soft .
Not a knock on Herrman's team , but they aren't exactly running a gauntlet .

In no order TCU, Notre Dame, LSU and a real long shot, Nebraska.
Either Clemson or FSU get in from the ACC, but I honestly think Bama loses somewhere and is out. The conference left out is a toss up between Big 10 and PAC 14.
Go Tigers!

Unfortunately because I can't stand Harbaugh but Michigan. Their schedule is a cake walk with Ohio State at home I believe. Just saw their schedule is 65th toughest. I don't really know if they have the talent that talking heads say they have but they have a pretty manageable schedule given they have good talent

A lot of people thinking that Ole Miss will beat FSU , I am thinking no on that one .
It is basically a home game for the Noles , and their defense coupled with a healthy dose of Dalvin Cook will be enough .
My thoughts , anyway .

Cook isn't that good; I think ole swag Kelly pulls it out over Florida state. It's a hard one with kelly being such a clown but I'll never cheer for the Seminoles. Jimbo leads a shotty program that produces more problems than men. Not to mention they're our rival. On to bigger and better than than u suck. Saying boom is our rival is giving respect where it is not deserved.

Dalvin Cook ?
I think he is the best RB in the ACC for sure , and with Leonard Fournette and a healthy Nick Chubb you could make an argument he might be the best in CFB in 2016 .

Gary Patterson keeps winning games. I just like that Peach Bowl MVP James McFarland is back and I don't buy Oklahoma. (He missed all of last year) That conference, along with the Pac-12, could eliminate itself. But I'll try TCU here.
I'll be releasing my Top 25 soon and I put TCU up there. So I'll go down with the ship.

SEC Champions, they will clearly get an invite. By then, Muschamp will have the Defense rolling and the offense will have a seasoned veteran at QB.

I get that ( I guess ) , but Houston doesn't play anyone after the opener with OU.
I'm concerned that it will not be enough to sway the panel of judges, or experts or ...whatevers.

(They don't start play again until 2017.) That's as left field as it gets.
I am sure the SEC, then everyone else will be lining up to play them the first couple of years, at least.
