The following are the predictions written/posted on ESPN so not my takes. I'd be interested to see what you guys think. I accidentally posted the thread early so I will post the predictions in the following comment

I always root for former Sooners (except Lincoln Riley) so would love to see Dillon Gabriel win this................
Gotta go head not heart I actually think Tennessee (yeah coached by an OU icon) makes a run unless the weather does something crazy in Columbus.

My Bowl picks and over unders are pretty close to that so far (minus hold outs etc). Playoffs I think Tennessee and Indiana are the 1st round upsets IMO.... SMU covers vs Penn State
Excuse me? You mean MY PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS SCORED 37 points ON Oregon!? MY team showed UP!!! Were about to make some NOISE in the playoffs!! NICE TRY BOZO!!!
We can obviously disagree no biggie but they have 2 losses to teams not in the conversation of cfp and if they didn't have a auto bid they wouldn't be in it either. This won't age well for ya but that's OK cheer your team on everyone needs fans
ASU is the Big 12 champions, power conference, they beat Kansas!
Bevo couldn't beat Georgia's backup QB.

Just messing with you. How crazy would a Texas/SMU Championship game be?
Would be too funny but after watching smu struggle with Clemson it would take epic failures and injuries from others
FAT CHANCE at that happening!! MY PENN STATE NITTANY LIONS will be putting a WHOOPING on SMU!!!
You could argue every team is flawed, perhaps besides Oregon which is unblemished but shown some vulnerabilities.
Penn State - played two good teams, lost to both (allbeit close games)
Ohio State - got embarrassed at home last time out
Notre Dame - lost at home to Northern Illinois (7-5 MAC team)
Indiana - played one good team, got beat soundly
Texas - only played UGA, no other good teams in the SEC, got beat both times
Boise St - schedule is obviously subpar, did play well at Oregon
UGA - rugged schedule, beat up, need to heal up
Tennessee - they are who they are, beat who they needed to beat
Arizona State - underrated perhaps, losing star WR may matter against Texas
Clemson - no
SMU - no, lost to BYU as well and no one talks about that in their case to get in
Oregon - gave up a bunch to Penn State, not sure they can beat OSU twice

Yo! Instead of saying a 'fat chance' on here. Could everyone agree to just say a 'Bosko chance'?
