Who you got?
I'm thinking:
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
are the locks. The other two spots get a little dicier. I'm guessing the Big-10 and PAC-12, if Washington beats Auburn, get the final two spot, with the second most likely scenario being Big-10 and Georgia (if Washington doesn't beat Auburn). The Big-12 is out there lurking, but I suspect they don't get in.
So my final two:
3. Michigan (surprise, probably, but I don't think Wisconsin has what it takes to win the conference, Ohio State whithers under scandal, and Penn State takes a step back. Meanwhile, Harbs gets a quarterback and is able to do something with it).
4. Oklahoma (I know I listed UW as the most likely scenario, but I just don't think they're going to beat Auburn after traveling across the country and I listed Georgia as a more likely scenario but for Georgia to get in at #4, they basically have to get in after losing their Conference Title game, something Alabama didn't have to do last year. So while I think UW and UGA would be better teams, I don't think the chips will fall right for them).
