Good job.

But ..... i say Ohio State takes Bama in the title game.

(Perhaps because I just don't like Alabama)

I hope the b1g schools lose all their opportunities; they need to be brought back to reality as they have been pampered beyond measure this year with their tired, plodding style of boring games. IMHO of course !

It's really hard to say any one conference was super dominant. Big 12 is basically one team (OU)...SEC one team (Bama)....Pac 12 two teams (Washington and Colorado)...ACC one team(Clemson)...Big 10 three teams (Ohio State, Michigan, and I will thrown Penn State in there) as teams of significance. If I had my 8 team playoff this is who makes the cut. I would have to say if Big 10 teams had to face 6 of the top 20 offenses statistically that the Big 12 did, they may not be all that and a bag of chips. Ohio State showed some stumbles...as did Michigan and Penn State.
