We are a dozen weeks into the college football season, and by now we have a pretty good idea of which teams have legit claims to the throne, and which programs are only pretenders. Of course, we just need need four finalists, since that’s apparently as big as the NCAA wants the college football playoff to be. Which pretty much everyone agrees is ridiculous, but whatever.
Anyway, we only need four teams, and right now, as it happens, there are only four college football teams that have at least five wins over bowl-eligible teams: Alabama, Clemson, Michigan and Georgia.
