I think Indiana finishing #1 this year is going way out on a limb!! Indiana’s schedule is a little tougher this year with tOSU, Michigan and USC on it and I think they could lose 2 of those games. I think the real secret sauce was Mendoza and don’t see J Hooper leading Indians to an undefeated or 1 loss season and that is what being seeded #1 says.
I don’t think Ole Miss makes the playoffs and definitely won’t win the SEC and having them 4th is saying just that!!
Penn St making playoff is a tip of the cap to new coach but I think they will struggle.
My predicted CFP rankings at end of Reg. Season:
1) ND (easy schedule undefeated)
2) Oregon
3)Texas
4)Miami
5) Georgia
6) tOSU
7) Indiana
8. LSU
9) Alabama
10) USC
11) big 12 or ACC runner-up (no clue)
12) G6 (who cares!)
