It's early, but this Clemson team matches up perfectly

against Bama this year. They can only throw it from what they have shown, we can defend that with our experienced back end and new look 3-high defense.
We may not even play them if LSU or Georgia can win out.
Playoffs could be:
1. Clemson
2. LSU or Georgia
3. Ohio St
4. Oklahoma

It's no way the PAC12 goes undefeated. That leaves all of the other conferences to have an undefeated representative. I would bet on a 2 loss representative before 4 undefeated teams.

The Pac12 isn't getting in anyway IMO...

but Clemson, Oklahoma, Ohio State and either Georgia or LSU could be undefeated.

Could easily see clem OU osu due to lack of challengers in all 3 leagues, be hard for sec team to do it but who knows. I also want to see osu and OU prove they can go the distance. It’s one thing to be “better” than everyone on your schedule. It’s an entirely different thing to beat them ALL.

tOSU may very well go undefeated, but they still have ranked

opponents on their schedule against #25 Michigan State, #8 Wisconsin, #12 Penn State and #20 Michigan. I think they will roll against MSU and UM, and possibly PSU...but that Wisconsin game will be interesting and OSU may end up having to play them twice.

If anyone is going to get revenge on us, it's them. IMO.

The problem with saying Oklahoma will get their revenge is that only redshirt seniors would have been in the program the last time we played them.
I can't imagine that is a large portion of the program that cares about that game in '15.
They are a dangerous team, but I wouldn't tab it as revenge.

I know it's early, and they have a tough conference schedule remaining, but I wouldn't rule out
Wisconsin just yet.

The most dangerous thing about Wisconsin to mess up the idea of having 4 undefeated teams is that they are expected to play Ohio St twice.
If the two teams are comparable, they could end up splitting the 2 games.

Good point. However, if Ohio State is legit and clobbers Wisconsin the first time, the rematch should be more of the same. That said, I'm not sold on them just yet.
I have doubts OU will beat UT twice because their defense doesn't measure up.

Good point about the possible rematch in the Big 12 also.

It may not happen but after this past weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if Auburn can beat one of the 3 top teams in the SEC.
I don't expect Auburn to challenge as the west champ but an upset potential is there.
They get UGA and Bama at home.

They ALWAYS seem to have a big back, and a tight end

that run wild against us. That needs to change. The big back did not come into play last year, as we jumped out early, and they could not afford to run the ball in the second half at all. Hopefully BV has a shadow on their tight end at all times, assuming they make it to us, which is not a given.
