Michael Gould from the Air Force, Tom Osborne from Nebraska, Barry Alvarez, Wisconsin, Oliver Luck, West Virginia, Tom Jernstedt, former QB at Oregon. The deck is clearly stacked against the SEC. With a lot of weight being given to SOS, teams like Alabama and Auburn are going to have to go undefeated to guarantee a spot in the Playoffs.
Right now, Florida State looks like the best bet to get into the playoff. Oregon knows that this is probably their last chance to get there because USC and Washington will be very strong in 2015, and Oregon will lose QB Mariota after this season. Ohio State crashed back to reality at the end of the 2013 season, but benefits from the New Big 10+4 Divisional line-up. That leavers the SEC and Big 12. You have to like OU. No ecuses 'Bama fans. OU kicked your tail in the Sugar Bowl last season. It is going to be very interesting, to say the least.
