We have reached the conclusion of the regular season, and it's time to take stock of how well the FEI preseason projections fared. The top two seeds in the College Football Playoff -- Alabama and Clemson -- had the two highest mean win projections to start the year. They were also the national champion and national runner-up last year, of course, and pretty much everyone had the Crimson Tide and Tigers back in the playoff hunt again this season. Both teams reloaded and both delivered.
Ohio State and Washington, the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds in the playoff, both delivered and exceeded expectations this year.
