Tommy has a wide range of college football knowledge and covers any NCAA team for us. He’s got a very familiar looking final four, as well as eventual champion. His scheduling reasoning is hard to argue with.

Four Playoff Teams: Ohio State, Stanford, TCU, Alabama
National Championship Game: Ohio State vs. TCU
National Champion: Ohio State

"“Ohio State plays in a weak Big Ten and really only has to get up for a few games during the course of the season. I really see no one that can match the Buckeyes speed in the conference. I have Ohio State winning because they have the experience edge and have been there before. A lot can go wrong but if Ohio State, shows up every Saturday then this should be a team in the playoffs.”"
