I'd pick as follows:

LSU/Clemson
Ohio State
Alabama
Georgia
Auburn (if they are playing well)
Wisconsin
Florida
Penn State
Oregon

Still looking for my beloved Wolverines to pull off the upset, though.  :aok

Both are fine top 10s - the 'issue' is, there is a big gap between the top 3 teams and the rest of the pack in Football. We saw that with LSU and OU this year. Last year with ND and Clemson. I mean, what if Oregon made it from the Pac-12? They would've got steamrolled just the same as OU.

Cinderella teams make it more interesting in Basketball because the field of play is a bit more level, more scoring opportunities, etc.

We should have a March Madness pickem bracket or something. That would be cool. I agree with you on the basketball statement. It also makes it really interesting! 

Back to the top ten. I really think Alabama could be #1 with a healthy Tua. Injuries suck for any team but that’s how it goes. I love the playoff system. It shows who got by with a lacking schedule. LSU went through a buzz saw of a schedule and here they are. Their play shows it too. Clearly showed in the Clemson v Ohio game. Neither have played talent like that and they didn’t score often which did result in a good game. But it proves just how important playing tough teams week in and week out really is.

LSU beats Clemson by 30 minimum.

How can a team play a tough teams week in and week out? Nobody has no way of knowing who will be the toughest team 5 years out when marking the schedule.

It’s a pretty known fact that the sec is a buzzsaw every year.

So in one season playing Alabama , Clemson, LSU, and Georgia is Easy?  Jesus I think we should all give up on this thread. There is no hope left.

You guys don’t get it.  Teams schedule are made 4, 5 as much to 12 years ahead.   They're so much that goes into making them,  more than you think.

I'm no TAM fan, but having to face Bama, Clemson, Georgia, LSU, not to mention two scrappy Mississippi teams...that's a grueling schedule. No team plays with more passion than TAMU. And I'm a die-hard Bama fan.

Partner I believe we all understand that lol. Someone said T A&M schedule was easy. I think they lost all of their merit in talking about football. Jesus that was stupid.
