Prediction time - how do you see the CFP Rankings coming out tonight?


Here is how I see them coming out tonight and reasons afterward - I only did the top 15. Just a reminder - this is how I think the committee picks them...not my own personal ranking:

1. Georgia
2. Alabama
3. Notre Dame
4. Clemson
5. Oklahoma
6. Ohio State
7. Penn State
8. TCU
9. Wisconsin
10. Miami, FL
11. Oklahoma St.
12. Virginia Tech
13. Iowa St.
14. Washington
15. Auburn

Georgia has been dominating opponents like Alabama has, but has the better win at this time. I would have had Clemson above Notre Dame, but the committee will see both their schedules more comparable since Louisville isn't as great as people thought, and ND has a "better" loss. I wouldn't be surprised if Oklahoma is behind OSU, but I think with not a lot of data points, the committee won't overlook the head-to-head (same goes with OSU over PSU). The Iowa State loss isn't as bad as once thought either. TCU has played better competition, thus, jumps Wisc and Miami (Wisc will stay ahead of Miami due to not having to win each game in the last minute). Oklahoma St. and Virginia Tech seem to have played similar schedules - I think the committee will go w/ Ok St because VT never was truly in the Clemson game. VT really needs the Miami win to boost their schedule (two best wins are WVU and BC). Iowa State gets a slight bonus over Washington for better schedule and beating top teams. I would not be surprised if Iowa State ends up in the top 10 at this point. Auburn has fared a little better than the rest of the 2-loss teams. I don't see UCF making the top 15 based on schedule alone at this time.
