Be tough on Ohio St. New starter at QB and no Urban Meyer! They slip in their conference with him; let alone w/o.

Michigan could be tough! They have one half of the OC who ran bamers offense. The other half went to Miami. Coach Gattis is credited for giving bamer it's pass happy - high scoring offense(in part).

Alabama - Coach Sarkisian - will Tua like his style and offense? Or will they miss the co-OC's who were running the offense big time?

I will have to see it from a PAC 12 team. Any of them especially since Washington is replacing Browning! Oregon - can they get past Mike Leach and company who are replacing a QB in their Air Raid offense. Southern Cal as usual will be the most talented; but what will their offense look like. In fact, the defense was suspect LY too. Will Chip Kelly do anything at all that resemble his success at Oregon? Too many questions for the PAC 12.

Big 12 - it's all about Texas. I see Texas making it1 Oklahoma will be replacing a QB! Yes, they have a 5 star coming in; but that OL that was called the best ever at Oklahoma pretty much all graduated! Can they find defense enough to deal with Texas; I don't think so. So, Texas!

Kendal Briles is at FSU and he has a ton of speed to work with. Remember those potent Baylor offenses? FSU will be tough; and with a good year and late season if they only have a loss to Clemson and a win over a highly rated Florida could they sneak in?

Clemson

Alabama

Texas

Michigan

p.s. Georgia could very well get past Bama who I think will look like the Bama we have known in years past next year! If so, just switch the mutts with the elephant. Don't think they both get in b/c of the following of Michigan and Texas. And Georgia proved they were not a playoff team last year despite their argument. Texas btw, beat them! You will not keep a big 10 team with that many eyes that watch college football out 2 straight years!

BR549® That was in reference to me saying the Big 10 couldn't be left out for two years, right? Man, I find it amazing the world didn't stop spinning b/c we didn't get a Big 10 ten in the playoffs!

TV Markets and politics is why I figured it would never happen. The Big 10 footprint covers a bunch of large metropolitian areas! I guess if your football teams stink bad enough; even that won't save you.

But bank on this: If a Big 10 team has say 1 close loss to a ranked opponent(top 15) and are big 10 champs. . . . there will be a big 10 team in the playoffs unfortunately!

The poster that said, "every team has questions is right"! However, some teams questions are more about, "who will the next star be" as opposed to who will play! Different questions with different levels of severity! I agree - Bama has something internal going on there and will 1 season be enough for Nicki to fix it? Georgia still has a bunch of issues to me. More than Bamer and attrition like nobody's business! What's going on there? OC and DC be the same for them? If yes, then you get what you get! Meat Chicken(Michigan) has some good players/coaches in place and is more steady of the good teams in the Big 10. Texas will roll through the Big 12 unless Gary Patterson has something at TCU or if Oklahoma can get their new QB up to speed quick. And a defense? Texas already is pretty solid.
