    1. Bama

    3. Clemson
    4. Washington

    Conference championships mean a lot, but they don't mean everything.

    This year may also stir some talk about eliminating divisions. Just take the top two teams by tiebreakers.
    I agree with you on everything except the 1 non-P5. That's a wasted game imo. Can you imagine BAMA vs WMU in a playoff game? I think we need to separate divisions or just make it 3 at large bids to the three most deserving teams.

    This is what it will be and what it should be. Gonna be entertaining games. I don't think Washington can beat Alabama, but I expect Washington to have a bag of tricks for saban

    Yeah, but that was the clear number one and number two being in the same DIVISION.

    You do that to throw them a bone and give them hope. One of the things that makes college football great is it's reach across the country.

    They've given up 2 more sacks than you guys this year.

    Again, I'm not predicting Washington even comes close to winning, but they're gonna be the best offense you've guys seen in a while. Peterson knows he can line up and beat you guys so expect a game plan like he used vs Oklahoma in the fiesta the year he beat stoops

    We will see. They havent played a team with an NFL front 7. They look outmatched up front on both sides of the ball.
