Four Playoff Teams: Ohio State, Baylor, LSU, Clemson
National Championship Game: Ohio State vs. Baylor
National Champion: Baylor

"“This season I see the Bears defeating the Buckeyes solely on the athleticism and talent that they return to the field, which is almost at every position. New quarterback for the Bears, as Bryce Petty exited for the NFL, but Seth Russell could be the guy that takes them over the top as a replacement. If Baylor can survive their November schedule of Kansas State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, and TCU, I fully expect them to be seasoned enough by the time the playoffs roll around to run the table. Besides, how can you go against the largest imaginable human to fit into football pads in Shawn Oakman?”"
