I don't think this is official yet but procetions are as follows;

No. 1: Indiana Hoosiers (13-0, Big Ten champs)
No. 2: Georgia Bulldogs (12-1, SEC champs)
No. 3: Ohio State Buckeyes (12-1)
No. 4: Texas Tech Red Raiders (12-1, Big 12 champs)

the Hoosiers were elite in the red zone, highlighted by a fourth-and-1 stop at their own 5 late in the third quarter.

The Buckeyes should have kicked the field goal. Bill Parcells said, "Always take the points."

It’s great to see Indiana and Texas Tech in the top four…to make the sport interesting there has to be mixing of top teams. To have the same teams at the top year after year makes the sport boring.

He missed the chip-shot that would have tied it.

Alabama, Miami in, Notre Dame out.

Let the bitching commence.

Disney/ESPN is protecting it’s product.

[montag813]

Has Indiana ever won a “national championship” during the AP/Coaches poll era?

[montag813]

He missed the chip-shot that would have tied it.

Yeah but they had two chances at that.

Buckeyes just switched places with the Hoosiers. They’re ranked #2. Dawgs are #3.

I wanted Vandy

[dfwgator]

Dawgs are #2.

I was hoping it would have been structured so that if Tulane beat Ole Miss, they would get to play Georgia, so Sumrall would get some good SEC experience before coming to Gainesville.

[dfwgator]

Only in basketball.

[FamiliarFace]

Ok, the Dawgs are #2, but they are playing as the third seed in the playoff rankings. The Buckeyes only loss was to the number one team, by 3 points. That was a close game. So I think the committee did the right thing by putting them as the #2 seed.

I’m glad to see Tulane in the mix. This will be good experience for Sumrall in any event.

[dfwgator]

I still think Ohio State is the team to beat. This will just make them more determined.

[dfwgator]

Ahh I stand corrected. Ohio State is #2.

[Az Joe]

A very, very dumb move.

[MinorityRepublican]

Bama should be out. JMU, Tulane? Why?
