Who's #4?
The College Football Playoff has three pretty obvious entrants but who should join them:
1. LSU....undefeated and needs only to win the SEC Championship Game to be the 1 or 2 seed.
2. Ohio State...the remaining undefeated Big 10 team who looks more unstoppable each week. Still some upset possibilities ahead but they look like they can handle it.
3. Clemson...not their best year but good enough to get through the rest of the ACC schedule undefeated.
But who is #4?
* Oklahoma? They lost to Kanasas State and have had to survive last second upset bids by Iowa St. and Baylor the past two weeks.
* Alabama? On paper, they might be worthy but they won't win their division, much less their conference, and now must survive with their backup QB.
* Oregon? Only one loss in the season's opening week to Auburn but their schedule hasn't been that challenging.
* Utah? Only one loss (7 points at USC) but, like Oregon, that Pac-12 schedule hurts them. Oregon and Utah are on a collision course in the championship game which will knock out one.
* Georgia? Only loss was in OT to South Carolina and they could still get a second loss against LSU in the conference championship.
* Memphis State/Cincinnati? Whichever becomes the AAC champ. Each has one loss and neither looks as good as the snubbed UCF teams of the past two years.
* Boise St? Is it time to give the original cinderella school a chance at the glass slipper?
Is the CFP essentially a three-conference playoff since the Big XII and the Pac-12 have gone to shit?
I miss the old Mile High Stadium.
