Been thinking about this for a while. With 3 unbeatens and a few others in the mix for the number 4 slot (like Utah, currently down by 20 in the 2nd, Oklahoma, and Baylor), it'll be an interesting, but stress-free, post season with us not in it.
So, of the contenders which team do you think has the best shot at the title?
My 2 cents: I'm going to pull for the SEC teams, but I am not convinced that they really can win it. LSU has the offense, but are a wet paper sack on defense. Georgia reminds me of our offense in the 2009 season which wasn't exactly overwhelming, but they seem to have the defense.
Ohio State is probably the likeliest candidate as they have an offense roughly on par with LSU but a better defense. Clemson has shown nothing but that won't count them out. Oklahoma has Jalen (whom I still claim) and a better-by-Big-12-standards defense, but I don't see it happening there. Baylor, see Oklahoma.
Then there's the PAC 12ish teams. Utes are moving the ball on Oregon, but so did Auburn...doesn't really tell me much.
