You have 20 new points to spend this week. Congratulations to last week's 5 winners whose 20 playoff picks all picked up victories.

quo vadis, bullet, Stugray2, NoQuarterBrigade, and YNot

The Never Fight A Land War in Asia Trophy is shared between Miami(OH)Yeah! who bet heavy on M(OH) and AppSt making the semifinals, and Wahoowa84, who put 3 big ones on Utah this past week.

Orange for Power teams who received their first loss, Red for other teams who lost. Black for teams who already reached those thresholds but still continue to receive votes.
//////////

Restating of the rules: Each week you get 20 points to allocate to any teams, max of 5 per team. At the end of the year, the person with the most points (over 14 weeks) assigned to the 4 actual playoff teams is deemed the OVERALL WINNER. Each week, the percentage of your 20 points allocated to a team who "didn't lose" is used to select weekly winners.

Updates: For each game, kickoff locks in the number of points you allocated to that team. So if you want to put 1 down on UCF, do so before 730 EDT Friday. If you forget to vote (or somehow use <15 points), I will automatically give you up to the 15 points from a dummy voter, based on the average vote that week.

My Week 2 Ballot
5 Ohio State
5 Alabama
3 Georgia
3 Oklahoma
2 Clemson
1 Notre Dame
1 OK State

Allstate Playoff Predictor, Week 2
5 Alabama
5 Ohio State
4 Georgia
4 Clemson
1 Michigan
1 Notre Dame

1. Ohio State
2. Georgia
3. Alabama
... (gap)
4. USC

tOSU likely beats Michigan
ND edges Clemson
FSU comes short
USC gets past trap games at Oregon State and at Utah to sweep Pac-12 (favorable schedule), beats ND in coliseum showdown on 11/26

There are literally 20 other legitimate contenders, including a couple in the Big 12. And it's possible somebody runs the table in the Big Ten West. But I don't see it.

I rank tOSU #1 simply because they beat the best team any of the top three have played so far. I expect both Georgia and Alabama to pass them during the year as they have some better opponents coming.

I am pretty sure it will be the first time we see the Power 2 dominate the CFP selection.

On the off chance, BYU goes undefeated, I put them in for maximum chaos.

Mid3 (ACC, PAC, Big12) won't produce undefeated champions and will be leapfrogged by Runner-Ups in the Power2.

Ohio State 4
Alabama 4
Georgia 3
Texas A&M 2
USC 2
Michigan 2
Notre Dame 2
NC State 1

I’m thinking about the same. Unlike Clemson, Utah, and Oregon, the Big 12 playoff contenders should skate through their non-conference schedule.

Another bump before I head to work. I’ll still assign 15 points if you skip this week.

Thanks for the bump. You reminded me.
Georgia-5
Clemson-5
Ohio State-4
Alabama-3
Michigan-3
