as long as Deshawn Watson doesn't get hurt I'm going with Clemson. Everything is in place there. They have the best coach in the country, an outstanding staff, the best qb and maybe best player in the country. If it wasn't for the greatest onside kick in the history of fb they'd have won it all last year. They had the second best spread offense in the country last year, it will probably be the best one this year. Going by what I see on these rivals lists their recruiting is truly at the Bama, and tOSU level. Their schedule is winnable the only challenge will be at FSU on 10/29. Auburn is overrated and I hope Clemson proves it on Labor Day weekend.
Who are the other four I really don't know.
I've resigned myself that Bama will be there for the next few years. Stanford well if they can find a replacement for their qb Kevin Hogan they should be there. If DW is not the best player in the country Christian McCaffrey is. They have a top ten coach in David Shaw.
That leaves the last spot to the Big X, the Big XII, and ND. How soon will it take for the buckeyes to replace all their number one draft picks? Their program seems to have reached a point to where they don't rebuild, they reload. Hope it ain't Michigan. ND? Probably a better chance than the Big XII. If OK can beat tOSU and Cougar high they have a real chance of getting in even if they lose a Big XII game. The SEC and especially the Big X dominate the playoff committee make no mistake about that. If you didn't know that you do now. I would love for them to be P5 conference left out.
So I have it at as Clemson
Bama
Stanford
and I can't pick a fourth team right now.
