Prior to the Utah-IU bowl game, Fox Sports analysts Rob Stone, Robert Smith, Dave Wannstedt and Matt Leinart were talking like Alabama v Clemson was a forgone conclusion and that Clemson was the only team that could match up to Alabama. Seems like many of their fellow "experts" disagree with them.
Stewart Mandel picked OSU to win. He tends to be one of the more reasonable sports writers, in addition to Bruce Feldman.
I don't put much stock in expert predictions, but interesting to look at.
No one is giving Washington a chance, which is similar to OSU in 2014.
