Alabama, Clemson & Ohio State seem to be locks. Three with still a chance are Michigan, Penn State & Washington.
Face it, of all the contenders Wahington U. is from the only state stupid enough to vote for Clinton so I say
leave them out. Penn State or Michigan for #4. My guess Penn State conference winner and victor of Ohio State.

How can you put a two loss PSU, who got drilled by Michigan and lost to Pitt, in over a one loss UDub that lost to USC, who has probably looked like the #3 or #4 team in country over the last two months? I don't get it. I think you could justify leaving Ohio State out for Penn State more than Washington.
PSU beat Ohio St and WI, two top 6 teams coming into this week
PSU won nine straight, they haven't lost since September
PSU is champions of the best conference in the country this year
PSU played a stronger OOC schedule, and a strong SOS overall
PSU lost at Pitt, who also won at Clemson. You can't punish them for that while you reward WA for playing 3 OOC cupcakes
PSU also played Temple OOC, a team that will be ranked this week
WA OOC schedule, they hosted Rutgers, Idaho & Portland State (seriously weak)
That's my reasoning
Anyhow, their resume may not be perfect, only Bama's is. But IMO, it's deserving a place in the final four

Ya, Washington should be dinged for the strength of their non-con schedule but at the end of the day one loss over two losses should mean something. It's also not as if Washington played cupcakes all year. They also beat the piss out of everyone they played with the exception of USC who has looked like a top 5 team since September.
Here's the Sagarin SOS which is interesting
1. Alabama (7)
2. Ohio State (15)
3. Clemson (47)
4. Washington (60)
5. Michigan (33)
6. Wisconsin (20)
7. Penn State (39)
8. Colorado (23)
9. Oklahoma (18)
10. Oklahoma State (59)
11. USC (5)
12. Florida State (13)
13. Louisville (66)
14. Auburn (17)
15. Florida (50)
Clemson doesn't have the Special Teams to win the NC, and they never will. It's sad and really baffling how they always struggle in that dept with the talent they have. Cray cray, honestly...
Agree
