College Football Playoff Predictions- Week 3

There’s some pretty big disagreements from the market here. I’m lower than the consensus on Oregon, LSU and Texas. I’m higher than the consensus on Texas Tech, TCU and Nebraska.

My model thinks Notre Dame is very likely to make the playoff if they go 10-2 and gives them some chance of making the playoff at 9-3. I personally disagree. This is my first season of my 12-team playoff model and there are a few kinks I want to work out on the back end.

There are likely multiple playoff teams still in this group. If I had to personally pick two teams from this group to make the playoff, I would go with Florida State (their upside is so high given their raw talent) and Old Dominion as a G5 wildcard.
