Who's In Your CFB Final 4?


SB Nation's Corn Nation's Let's Pick the CFB Final 4 by Dan Rubenstein Viking Husker

Hey here's a fun and totally original idea: let's hear who's in your final 4 for the college football playoffs.

Before I give you mine, here's the ground rules:

Your selections must be based on who will be selected at the end of the season. So if two teams are from the same division, they play each other, thusly eliminate the weaker team, then only one is eligible (unless you work for ESPN, then we'll understand you picking up to 3 SEC West teams).

The second guideline is that you must use the same criteria as the real selection committee. Special consideration is given to Conference Champions, strength of schedule, and head to head match ups. So again, unless you work for ESPN, only one SEC team is allowed.

That's really it for ground rules. Here's my 4:

1. Obligatory SEC Champion Mississippi State. I really like Dak Prescott, and my SEC fatigue is much lower for the Bulldogs than for most other SEC schools. They've beaten 3 top ten teams (Hey! LSU and A&M were top ten once) and have no losses.

2. Florida State hasn't shown that anyone will beat them. They haven't shown they are world beaters yet either, but I digress. Right now the title is theirs to lose. Plus the Notre Dame win looks pretty good.

3. PAC 12 may deserve an entry, but it is really hard to pick Oregon. I'm going to get crap for this, but I'm going with Rich Rod's Arizona, since I think they have the best shot to beat the Ducks in the CCG. Plus their one loss was to USC by a missed field goal.

4. This 4th spot is where most people put their second SEC team, but that's against the rules (and makes me want to vomit). So this could go the Big Ten Champ, Notre Dame, or the Big 12 Champ In order to not jinx the Huskers, I recuse myself from picking the Big Ten Champ. Notre Dame is eliminated due to their head to head loss to Florida State. I don't think TCU has the defense to play with Kansas State. And K-State has a moral victory pretty good looking loss, losing to Auburn in a game they should have won. So K-State is my 4th.

So there you have it. My final 4, Mississippi State, Florida State, Arizona, and Kansas State.

Who's yours?
