Looks a lot like last years prediction with the $20 million roster. Just to get beat by Houston in the Texas Bowl.

Weird not seeing Bama on that list. How long before there is mutiny in Greenbow, Alabama?

Let’s play the season first. Having 7-5 teams from last year in the playoffs this year is a stretch.

Part of me wants LSU to land 5-8 seed just to witness the craziness of a night playoff game in Tiger Stadium. If these are the teams that end up making the playoffs, I’d love to get OSU, but a playoff game against OM after this past year would be absolute must see TV for everyone.
