1 hour ago1 hr Moderator No. After Portal Picking and Portal Tampering are done, CBS Sports projects the 2026-27 college football (CFB) playoff (PO) field as follows:...December 30, 2026 - Fiesta Bowl - 2 Notre Dame vs. the winner of 10 Texas A+M at 7 Oregon...January 1, 2027 -Peach Bowl - 1 Miami vs. the winner of 9 LSU at 8 Ohio StateRose Bowl - 4 Indiana vs. the winner of 12 Michigan vs. 5 Texas TechSugar Bowl - 3 Texas vs. the winner of 11 Memphis at 6 Georgia....Looks like the experts are giving us back-to-back preseason wagering gold mines. The AP Poll 2025 expert pollsters' top 4 ...Texas No. 1 - In 2025, my betting buddies and I questioned whether Archie was the 3rd coming of the Manning family. Good question.Penn State No. 2. - Did anyone else notice that James Franklin's record against top competition matched this ranking? We did.Ohio State No. 3 - One of the B1G's three PO teams in 2025-26. TOSU went 0-1, OBD 2-1, and Indiana 3-0. We wondered why the Buckeyes, after a long layoff was favored over Miami, and put our money where our wondering was.Clemson No. 4 - This ranking matched the number of losses Clemson suffered in 2024, and the same guys who lost four were coming back. $$$...With the above in mind. No. 1 Miami and No. 2 Notre Dame -Yes, Notre Dame has to weather the Hurricanes blowing into South Bend and the trip West to Provo, not LA, but when the next toughest challenge is Navy in Gillette Stadium or SMU at home?...Before the visit to Notre Dame, Miami has a brutal opening. On the road at Stanford, Florida (A&M), at Wake Forest, and Central Michigan, before traveling to Clemson, South Carolina. ...Really? A roll of Charmin is tougher than the spit these two are playing....No. 3 Texas - Sark's still The Man on the Forty Acres, right? Frankly, this reminds us of James.Texas is -2.5 when the Buckeyes arrive. We expect No. 8 Ohio State to Buck(eyes) the Longhorns and bring home the Money Line +108. No. 8? Brutal schedule, but this is Ohio State, a team that filled holes out of the portal. No. 8 in the nation has CBSSN behind the prediction 8-Ball....No. 4 Indiana - Yes, Indiana has to host Ohio State and USC, and travels to Michigan and UW, but the B1G champ being ranked 4th? Cig will probably smoke us again, but over 10.5 was right on our Mendoza line, but we went Over.No. 11 Memphis ranked ahead of 12 Michigan? If only we could find a line to bet against this? ...No. 6 Georgia? Six? As it so deserves, even with nine conference games, the Dawgs have an easier slate then it played the last two seasons. And Georgia still has the best coach in the SEC, Kirby (He So) Smart.Over 9.5 is a lay-up. ...No. 7 OREGON - We're down with the over 10.5, but with the schedule, it's Moore of a Danno dare; however, Bring It On! ...No. 5 Texas Tech has addressed both sides of the ball in this season's spending spree, and there isn't a B12 roster that comes close, by golly, in the home of Buddy Holly. 8.5 wins? Come On In!...No. 10 A+M? In 2026, the Aggies will play SEC teams other than Texas that will finish with a winning record. But an Over/Under 7.5? We're down....No. 9 LSU? The Bengal Bayous will likely cover 8.5. How about 9-3? Up to you. We want nothing to do with Lame Kitten....Money is not evil; the love of money is evil. Not comfortable putting hard-earned dollars down, a gaming fantasy league with the earnings having a bought-for-winner dinner is a lot of fun
