The Top Five.

Texas A&M

The Aggies perfect season almost came to an end in Week 12 as they were down 30-3 at halftime. But, Texas A&M managed to snap out of it and somehow pull off the magical comeback. Still unbeaten, the Aggies will undoubtedly be among the 12 teams that advance to the College Football Playoff *(CFP) as we head into the last week of the regular season. Can they complete the perfect season? They are our current pick to do so because their offense and defense are both among the most talented in the country. This weekend, Texas A&M will travel to play Texas. That fight promises to be terrific. If the Aggies prevail, they will likely face off against one of UGA, Ole Miss or Alabama. They are in the best conference in NCAAFB and might end up as a top three seed going into the bracket.

Alabama


With the exception of the season's opening game, Alabama's season has gone rather smoothly. The loss to Oklahoma in Week 12 wasn't ideal. But, the Crimson Tide will undoubtedly be among the top teams in the playoffs if they are able to beat Auburn in the Iron Bowl. They've got major victories against Vandy, Tennessee and LSU at home in addition to Missouri and Georgia on the road. Alabama ranks in the top 30 for offensive points scored a game and in the top 10 for defensive points allowed a game. This year has gone a lot better for Kalen DeBoer in his second season after taking over for Nick Saban in control of maybe the greatest College Football franchise of all time. 

Odds To Win ~ (+1600)

Georgia

Georgia has won every game since their Week 5 setback to Alabama. Our third SEC team out of three thus far, has won seven games in a row now and might be the hottest team in College Football other than the three remaining undefeated programs. The Bulldogs are seriously well-coached and may just have the finest coach in the league right now. Unlike some of these other top teams this season, they always have a strong defense plus a dependable quarterback who has made it to the postseason. UGA is still battling for a spot in the SEC Championship Game. Still, barring some unlikeliness, it will be in the playoffs even if it fails to make it.

Odds To Win ~ (+1000)

Ohio State

Since their victory against Texas in Week One, Ohio State has maintained its position as the top seed in the AP Poll. Some could argue that the Buckeyes' continued perfect record this season is a result of the lesser competition that they face. Last year's National Championship winning team was so talented, but, managed to lose against Michigan in the final game of the season. Hence, it is not impossible for that to occur once more on Saturday. Also, with having the top defense in CFB this season, the Buckeyes haven't had many opportunities to showcase their offensive prowess. We think that the strength of schedule will end up hurting them, but it's too tough to overlook how good OSU really is and it definitely can go back-to-back. 

Odds To Win ~ (+175)

Oregon

We are going with Oregon instead of Indiana as our final team. We know that the Hoosiers are undefeated and will be ranked above Oregon because of the win against it this season. But, one of both Indiana/Ohio State will end up losing in the Big Ten Championship game -- we think the Hoosiers -- and that will be bad for momentum going into the playoffs. Over the past few weeks, Oregon has looked ridiculously impressive. With the exception of the Indiana game, the Ducks have won every game this season and just crushed USC. When it all comes down to a big game at the end of the year, we think that Oregon is more well suited to come out on top than Indiana.
