Why not?

305Buck's post asking for everyone's projected CFP top 12 for tomorrow night got me thinking about this.  This has been a terrific college football season and I think it's going to continue that way.  Things could get even crazier by end of Week 14.  I took a stab at coming up with my prediction (as of 11/3/2025) for the CFP top 12 after Week 14.

What do you think?  

First, what I think the 11/4/2025 CFP top 12 should be:  1- tOSU  2- Indy  3- aTm  4- Bama  5- Ore  6- UGA  7- Ole Miss  8- ND  9- BYU  10- T Tech  11- L'ville  12- Texas  (and 13- OU  14- Vandy or Utah or G Tech)

Next, the B1G stands a chance of getting 4 teams in.  Believe it or not, Iowa stands a good chance at finishing 10-2.  I won't say what other team from the B1G stands a chance (but I think they go down @NW week 12 in any event).  Don't see USC beating @ Ore so the Trojans end with at least 3 losses.  But I do see Iowa beating Ore at home this weekend.  The Hawkeyes would then have to handle business @USC and @ N.  Ore can only lose 1 of its 2 games @ IA and @ UW.  Bottom line:  Ore gets in if it wins out and can only slip up only once.  Iowa and USC could get in if they win out, but not both as they play each other.  

SEC gets 4 teams in, but Texas and OU don't make it.  I don't see Texas beating @ UGA and probably not aTm at home.  And I don't see OU beating @ Bama.  

Here's my predicted CFP going into the CCGs:

1- Buckeyes 12-0 - easy road until ttun

2- Indy 12-0 - incredibly easy road of @ PSU ( no way, don't fool yourself), Wisky, bye, and @ Purdon't

3- Bama 12-0 - easy road of LSU, OU, chickenshit Saturday, @ AUB

4- aTm 12-0 - not as easy road of @ Mizzou, uSC, chickenshit Saturdy, @ Texas

5- UGA 11-1 - almost as easy road of @ cow bells, Texas, chickenshit Saturday, G Tech

6- Ole Miss 11-1 - unbelievably easy road of chickenshit Saturday, UF, bye, egg bowl

7- ND 10-2 - now things could start getting interesting - a loss week 12 @ Pitt and ND is out at 9-3

8- Ore 10-2 - Ducks lose this weekend @ IA and they must win out; a loss to USC or @UW and they are out at 9-3

9- BYU or T Tech - BYU is @ T Tech this weekend; a Mormons win and T Tech is out; BYU still has @ Cincy week 13 (BYU loses at least 1 of these next two games and could be out if loses both.  If T Tech beats BYU, its schedule is an easy UCF, bye, @ WVU.)

10- L'ville 11-1 - an even easier road than Ole Miss - Cal, Clempsum, @ SMU, UK

11 - Here's where a 10-2 Iowa could slip in.  Could also be where one of the 9-3 SEC teams could fall back in should ND or Ore slip up, because it just means more.  I just am not up on what could occur in the Big 12, so a second Big 12 team may or may not have a chance for this spot should ND or Ore slip.  Don't see the ACC getting a second team this time around.  

12 - Don't think it really matters this year since PSU has completely flamed out.
