Who Will Make The Playoff? (Vote in Preseason Poll)
Created a place for us to vote on who we think will make the playoff (and other NY6 bowls).

https://cfbcomputer.wordpress.com/vote-playoff/

My picks
ROSE: Ohio State vs. Notre Dame
SUGAR: Alabama vs. Penn State
ORANGE: Clemson vs. Michigan
FIESTA: Oregon vs. Oklahoma
PEACH: LSU vs. UCF
COTTON: Georgia vs. Utah

I think Notre Dame upsets Clemson to take their playoff spot. Penn State gets in at 11-1 and no Big Ten Championship.

RE: Who Will Make The Playoff? (Vote in Preseason Poll)
So far, of the 5 at-large spots (6, minus the fact that the ACC is gifted a 2nd spot if they make the playoff), voters have identified 3 SEC teams (Florida, Georgia, and LSU), Notre Dame, and Penn State as NY6-bound.

I guess it is already happened twice already (Big Ten 2016, SEC 2018) for conferences to get 4 teams in.

Picks thus far by CSNBBS:

SUGAR: Clemson vs. Florida
ROSE: Alabama vs. Ohio State
ORANGE: UNC vs. LSU
FIESTA: Oregon vs. Penn State
COTTON: Boise St vs. Oklahoma
PEACH: Georgia vs. Norte Dame

Looks like an ‘09 Fiesra Bowl rematch and Norte Dame-Georgia extend their series 1 year. Florida in the Sugar is a surprise but, hey, you picked it.

Feel free to follow the OP link to vote or re-vote (I’ll manually remove your earlier ballot if you update your picks).

Assuming there is a season of course, based on track record and returning personnel, I am:

1) Extremely confident Clemson will make the playoffs.

2) Very confident Ohio State and Oklahoma will make the playoffs.

3) Somewhat confident Alabama will make the playoffs.

Anyone else makes it, will be a surprise to me.

Well, with the ACC, Big12, PAC-12, SEC, CUSA, MWC, Sunbelt and AAC shut down by the 'Rona, I'm going to pick Kent State for the Fiesta Bowl ... their experience playing in front of next to no fans finally standing them in good stead as the Big Ten and MAC play in front of locked stadiums. OSU, Penn State, Wisconsin and WMU in the CFP semi-finals.

Assuming a normal season is risky, and it would get interesting if a playoff team ended up with a COVID outbreak and team 5 got to step in, though it would be pretty hard to do so with bowls all ready lined up.

But:

1) Clemson: Yeah.
2) Ohio State: I'm not so confident. A team like Penn St. or even Minnesota or Michigan or several others could break through. The Big 10 is top heavy and so they could cannibalize themselves. So I'll be different and I'll say maybe this year is the year that say an Oregon gets in instead.
OK: Baylor was close to winning the Big 12 last year, so let's go with them.
4) I'm not super confident in Alabama this year. They get Georgia in the east as well as TN, and their normal run in the west with LSU, etc. They do miss FL. But I'd say Bama is a much better NY6 pick this year than CFP. I'll go with Georgia right now.

Sugar: 1 Clemson vs. 4 Oregon
Rose: 2 Georgia vs. 3 Baylor

Orange: FSU vs. Alabama
Cotton: OK vs. TN (that's right, I'm a homer after all; it'll probably really be LSU or Florida)

Fiesta: Ohio St. vs. Washington
Peach: Penn St. vs. Boise

CFP Appearances
5 - Clemson, Alabama
4 - Oklahoma
3 - Ohio St
2 - No One

So yeah, the CFP will be Clemson, Alabama, Oklahoma, & Ohio St. Maybe one of them gets knocked off (e.g. '15 Michigan St for Ohio St, '19 LSU for Alabama) but those 4 have a near-monopoly on the CFP.
