re: Which teams have a legit shot at the college football playoff national title?

I keep hearing the whole "returning starters" bit. Yes, that's important to have guys on the field that's been there before but I'm an X's O's guy and to me that's where this team struggles year in and year out. What's their clear plan of attack on offense? Do I want to run an Spread Option offense with 11 personnel as the base look or do I want to be a traditional style (hate saying pro style because it's not) with 21 personnel and play ball control? On defense, you have that luxury to run 4-3, 3-4 because you need to utilize a lot of looks to stop these spread systems. Also, this team has always had the mindset of stopping the run first and be stout on the backend of the field.
