Here are the latest gridironnow.com playoff and bowl projections. Remember that 80 teams — or 63 percent of the 128 teams in the FBS ranks — will make it into the postseason. (As a comparison, 63 percent would mean 20 of the 32’s NFL teams would make it into the playoffs.)
Our four projected playoff teams: Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Washington. That would mean three conference champions (all but Ohio State) would be in the four-team playoff; it also would mean no two-loss team makes the field. As for this week’s college football championship picks?
