In my season prediction piece from earlier this week, I briefly outlined my top 25 teams and how I thought they’d perform throughout the 2019 campaign. Now, I will choose the eight teams I believe will be in contention for the College Football Playoff.
Let’s take an expanded look at this year’s potential playoff contenders. For easier reference and comparison, I will use the same snippet for each team as well as offer my projection.
No. 8 Utah Utes
* Projected Reg. Season Record: 11-1 (12-1)
* SOS: #55
* Postseason Projection: Rose Bowl
* Key Matchups: @USC (Friday), @Washington
The Utes have one of the easiest schedules in the Power 5 and the best part is they only have two supposedly difficult road games.
