Notes
- The College Football Playoff will be announced at noon EST. We certainly expect Clemson, Oklahoma, and Georgia to be included
- The battle for the last spot will come down to two-loss Ohio State as the Big 10 Champion, or one-loss Alabama. Alabama's résumé did not get any help from an Auburn and Fresno losses. As the playoff lineup is announced, point spreads will soon follow from bookmakers in Las Vegas and offshore. Here are the numbers I expect for the Semifinals:
Clemson Ohio State pk Clemson Oklahoma pk Clemson Georgia -0.5 Oklahoma Georgia -0.5 Oklahoma Alabama -1.5 Oklahoma Ohio State pk Georgia Ohio State -0.5 Georgia Alabama -1
