According to the AP:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State

According to the Coaches:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Ohio State
4. Clemson

According to Sagarin:
1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. Florida State
4. LSU

According to Massey:
1. Oregon
2. Alabama
3. Florida State
4. Missouri

According to Colley:
1. Florida State
2. Clemson
3. Missouri
4. Alabama

According to Anderson:
1. Alabama
2. Missouri
3. UCLA
4. Clemson

According to Billingsley:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State

Average of All Computer Rankings:
1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Florida State
4. Clemson

Make me nervous that humans are so high on Ohio State when data suggests that there aren't even in the top 6. Urban knew what he was getting into when he went to Ohio State. The Big Ten is just weak enough to make his job easy.

I wish that the playoff committee would present a "mock playoff" for us at the end of this year, to give us more perspective on how it will go down.

This confirmed my feeling that the 4 team playoff is going to cause more problems than the BCS did. By the end of the year, we'll have probably 2 undefeateds and a bunch of 1-loss teams.

ETA: JMO....

1. Alabama
2. Oregon
3. Clemson
4. Ohio State

I don't think Ohio state should get in over a 1 loss Sec team period.

Clemson or FSU will have earned it

Realistically, this is what would happen, perhaps Clemson jumping to #2. I'm not sold on OSU though so I'd have LSU in their place.

Ohio St

I think OSU is weak but I can't justify putting both Clemson and FSU in when one is going to knock the other off this weekend. Next up is LSU, but no dice unless one of those 4 loses.

Does anyone else feel like Bama and Oregon have been on a collision course for an epic, BCS-ending showdown for a few seasons now? Just seems like its a matchup that the entire country would have liked to see for the last 4 years and it just never happened.

They should just take the top 4 BCS rankings and put them in the playoffs.

The committee is bullshite and will cause a shite load of drama, way more than the BCS ever did.

This would be my top 4. Ohio State would lose handily to all of these teams on a neutral field.
