Really surprised Georgia fell to Texas. And, sorry Texas, I'm putting it squarely on UGA not bothering to show up for the game. They got it up for Alabama, that was their real shot at glory, and then figured the season was done when the SEC title game didn't go their way. Texas had a nice season, they're moving in the right direction (finally!), but they weren't better than Georgia this year and this result really kinda shocked me.
Good W's for Florida and LSU, in a proper pool I think I would've won with Iowa State covering the spread, WVU really bottomed out after starting strong, not sure why I picked Utah, surprised that Mississippi State fell to a mid-tier Big 10 squad. (And I should've had Ohio and TCU, not sure how I missed those)

1b) Clemson

5) Ohio State
6) Georgia
7) Florida
8) LSU
9) Central Florida
10) Texas
11) Washington State
12) Michigan
13) Kentucky
14) Washington
15) Fresno State

Alabama (-7) - Clemson (o/u 60)
Look, Alabama was better than everybody this year by a long shot; Clemson is still better than everyone else but I'd be pretty shocked if they beat Alabama. Alabama has now beaten Georgia and Oklahoma and is ramping up their play as they go; Clemson's first real game all year long was their drubbing of Notre Dame--and they looked good--but Alabama is starting to get some actual game day warm up just in time for their toughest foe of the season while Clemson looks like they haven't even started yet.  I like Alabama to win 34-20 (Alabama and the under).
