Jon Joseph Moderator No. 1 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) What school will win the final Final 4 in 2023? Look to The Magnificent 7 for the answer. Since 2004, only 2 teams outside of the initial 7 ranked teams in the first AP Poll preseason ranking, have won a College Football (CFB) championship. 2010 Auburn ($cam was bought and paid for and Dyer's knee was down!) was ranked 22. 2013 - FSU was ranked 11. My initial reaction? Why does CFB need a Playoff Committee when it has the AP Poll? 2nd reaction: In the name of Cal, Oregon State, Stanford, Washington State, the Pac-12, and The Rose Bowl, did CFB need '1 True Champion?' 3rd reaction, What in the name of Dixie is going on out there? Brutus made an early showing (SIGH) but since then it's been chitlins, biscuits and gravy, and fried green tomatoes. The CFB Playoff brought to you by The Waffle House? 2014 Ohio State 2015 Alabama 2016 Clemson 2017 Alabama 2018 Clemson 2019 LSU 2020 Alabama 2021 Georgia 2022 Georgia Including 2014, the B1G and the to-be-B1G (B1G+) have a CFB Playoff record of 4-9. Ohio State - 3-4 OREGON - 1-1 Michigan - 0-2 Michigan State - 0-1 Washington 0-1. There is a Power 2 money-wise but CFB Playoff-wise? It's the SEC with a bourbon bullet. Will one of the B1G+ reverse this Championship free fall in 2023? According to The Rule of The Magnificent 7, below are the contenders and their respective initial AP Poll ranking; 2. Michigan/ 3. Ohio State/ 6. USC/ 7. Penn State - B1G+ Teams outside of The Magnificent 7 with a chance: 10. Washington/ 15.
