  • CFP Projections Week 1

    From Michael Falkner@21:1/5 to All on Tue Oct 31 17:40:09 2023
    Rose (because I don't think Ohio State wants to give Florida State the short trip to the Sugar): (1) Ohio State vs. (4) Florida State

    Sugar: (2) Georgia vs. (3) Michigan

    Orange: Highest ACC= (13) Louisville vs. Highest B10/SEC/ND=(8) Alabama

    The other three bowls do not have tie-ins, and you have the Big XII, Pac-12, and Go5 Champs left.

    Taking them and the other three highest-ranked teams not already done...

    (5) Washington -- Pac-12 Highest
    (6) Oregon
    (7) Texas -- Big XII Highest
    (9) Oklahoma
    (10) Ole Miss
    (24) Tulane

    Probably Tulane and Ole Miss in the Fiesta Sloughoff

    Orange probably gets Oklahoma vs. one of the Pac-12 schools and the Cotton gets the other vs. Texas.

    I think that game goes to the Sugar - being closer to Ohio State's fan base is probably going to be more important.

    I was about to comment how neither of those teams could be in the Orange, but you already did - I assume you meant to say Peach.

    Respectfully, though, that goes double for their opponent. Also, I thought about the tradition of the Big Ten having the Rose as a destination, but I think that crowd would tilt Florida State with that matchup.

    Yeah, Peach. You're right there.
