Jeremiah handles a big portion of the Big Ten for Saturday Blitz, so it’s not surprising who he has picked for the national championship. However, two of his other picks are on the surprising side for many. You can follow Jeremiah on Twitter at @SYRmotsag

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

"“Ohio State has too much talent and their coaching is too good for the Buckeyes not to repeat. A relatively easy schedule also helps. Tough games against VT, PSU, MSU, and Michigan stand in the way of Ohio State repeating as national champions. OSU is on path to go 12-0 and return to the playoffs where they will repeat as champs by a 38-24 score over the Bulldogs.”"
