If Fox is right, the SEC won't even be close to getting 2 teams into the playoff (that'll be the Pac-12, if anyone), and the Big XII will be the P5 left out (highest pre-season rank: #6 Oklahoma)

Thanks! I guess I had a senior moment (they come more often the older you get).

Meanwhile, SI predicts the Pac-12 will be the P5 left out, and the Big Ten most likely to get 2 teams in.

That is because everyone is guessing.

I keep working on my future prediction skills, but my 8 ball has too many bubbles in it and it's hard to read the answer.

My football predictions are 100% accurate.

I will get around to publishing them next January.

I predict that two P5's will be left out and a G5 rep sneaks in...

Sorry, my friend. You are not old enough to have senior moments like this one.

Call me crazy, but this is how I see it (and yes I know that I said 1 G5):

1 FSU
2 Oregon
3 Ohio State
4 Michigan State

Lets talk about the SEC and their dominance. This year I see the SEC West just beating up on each other and no real dominant 12-0 candidate from the bunch. It's certainly possible and the two teams I can see scaling to those heights is LSU and Auburn. And don't get it twisted, these are some really talented teams, especially in the SEC West. I truly see three to four 10-2 teams coming from there, and I don't think a 10-2/11-2 record will be enough to get into the playoffs. I also realize that Alabama is a machine, especially when it comes to recruiting. I just believe that with the talent they lost the past two draft classes, the Tide is due to drop a few notches... And most programs would love to be a 10-2, like I foresee Alabama. I don't see anyone from the SEC East that's really ready to jump into the national picture IE 4 Team playoff. Perhaps a 11-2 Alabama or LSU gets the benefit of the doubt, and who could blame the committee for putting in an 11-2 team from the SEC West.

Big XII... This is another league where I can see a lot of upsets this year. It seems to be a nicely balanced league, and I could see a Texas resurgence.

Wouldn't Lol-hio State and Michigan State meet in the B1G title game...how can they both make the top 4?

I'm predicting both to go 12-1 w/ them beating each other once.

Were you referring to the Home-Of-SEC-usuals over at ESPN,
or
were you expecting some SEC sPEEd ?

Over ranked UNC.

Over ranked UNC is the one thing you can expect each year.

Well not every year. Most years they don't receive votes.

I was pointing out that GTS's drinking game is for UNC getting pre-season hype.
