The College Football Playoff committee is still a few weeks away from releasing its first rankings for the season, but analysts are already trying to predict which teams will make up the final four. Halfway through the season, with so many undefeated teams remaining, that means some unexpected projections.
On ESPN’s Get Up Wednesday, Heather Dinich gave her predictions for the Playoff, and she did not include any SEC teams. Instead, Dinich has Washington, Florida State, Oklahoma and Michigan in the field, notably omitting the No. 1 team in the country, Georgia.
“I hope everyone is sitting down because Georgia is not in my top four right now,” Dinich said. “I changed it after Brock Bowers’s injury.”
