Who are this year's CFP 4?

[cidsports]

1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Washington
4. Michigan

Is the the Wolverines year to rise up and win the Big Ten?

Tall order, I would suggest Notre Dame should knock them off, but a win in South Bend, would be a nice boost of momentum.

B1G opener hosting Nebraska would be another boost.

The Wolverines host Wisconin in Ann Arbor, as well as Penn State.

My first choice would be to knock them out and consider Georgia from the SEC East, but defense does win championships and Michigan likely will be the best Defensive team in the B1G?

One site projects all four above the Top 4 defensive clubs in 2018.

They have Wisconsin at Top defensive team, as well. Despite seven new starters, including all 6 on the outside at DE, OLB and CBs. Only one starter returns in secondary.

Should be an interesting 2018 in B1G and around CFB?

If you include Michigan in that top 4 you can’t disregard Ohio St...

Until Harbaugh can beat Meyers I’ll still favor bucknuts.

Does OU have a QB that will be as good as Mayfield still remains the question.

If the Huskies can knock off Auburn on the road the first week and avoid being upset in the PAC 12 without no USC they’ll be in the playoffs.

Ultimately, I would say the Big Ten is more likely not going to have a placeholder in 2018, since everyone is going to beat up on everyone.

OU has a good QB and he was just drafted in first round of MLB draft, which is impressive.

I see OU not having resume win like Ohio State this year. Remember, they lost at home to Iowa State in 2017.

OU and OSU are woethy candidates. They don't play each other, so resume weakens in OOC match ups.

OSU gets TCU in Arlington in Week 3. Another team Iowa State beat in 2017.

They very well may rise in B1G this year. Of course, back to back B1G champions have not been selected for CFP.

I know all about OU new QB, but he still has to prove on the field what Mayfield accomplished.

Georgia has a schedule easy enough to be in the playoffs, the question will be if Bama Gump and Georgia play will the committee take the loser of the SEC game.

Both OU and OSU have a QB situation that still needs to be proven on the field.

Both these programs are basically year in and year out the teams to beat in Big 12 and B1G, respectively.

Reload U's of their respective conferences.

With just 4 teams I hope that there is just 1 team per conference. With the Big 12 being weak Oklahoma is almost a guarantee to get in
