So what's everyone's CFP projections?
1 Alabama
2 Clemson
3 Notre Dame
4 Oklahoma
Sorry Buckeyes. I know the committee loves them some Urban Meyer and all things being equal, Ohio St bias gets the nod. But the difference this year is Oklahoma's single loss was a close loss to a top 25 team by three points which Oklahoma would later avenge in the Big 12 title game. Ohio St's loss was a Prime Time embarrassment to Purdue
The Major Bowls are probably going to shake out something like this
Rose Bowl (B1G vs PAC12 champs): Ohio St vs Washington
Sugar Bowl (Big12 vs SEC champs): Texas vs Georgia (with both conference champs in the CFP, the runners up are representing)
Peach and Fiesta (At large bids): UCF, Michigan, Florida, and Washington St.
LSU and Penn St can each argue a stronger claim to a bid over Washington St, but the bid will go to a PAC12 team due to an SEC and B1G already represented. Penn St and LSU both get a consolation prize of a lesser New Years Bowl, facing off in the Citrus Bowl. And lets face it, Penn St vs LSU is a much more interesting national broadcast than Penn St vs Kentucky or Northwestern vs LSU
