People picked Stanford to go to the College Football Playoff; Northwestern beat Stanford

Desmond Howard and Mike Golic are among those who had Stanford in the College Football Playoff. So let's laugh at them.

Every year in late August, when a new college football season looms and possibilities are endless, nearly every single college football analyst is put on the spot. Everybody gets four spots, and they must fill those spots with four teams they think will be playing on New Year's Eve in the College Football Playoff.

Some pick the four teams that they think have the best chance at reaching the playoff. Others try to make a splash, and pick teams which they believe have a better chance than most so-called experts think.
