This time of year, there's nothing quite like making projections when it comes to the bowl games and College Football Playoff. The second year of the playoff system could be a pretty smooth endeavor, or we could have major controversy.
As it stands, the playoff will feature Oklahoma, the winner of the Big Ten title game, Alabama if it wins the SEC title game and Clemson if it wins the ACC championship contest. That's the simple setup. But will it happen?
Yes, probably. It's hard to imagine a red-hot Alabama team losing to a Florida that was just pretty easily handled by Florida State, for one thing.
