| Rank | Team | Reason | 
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  Alabama Crimson Tide | |
| 2 |  Western Michigan Broncos | If WMU wins their Conference Title Game, I believe they should receive the #4 seed in the Playoff regardless of other results. | 
| 3 |  Ohio State Buckeyes | Despite this rating, I'm not thoroughly convinced that the Buckeyes should make the 4 team playoff. If it were an 8 team, there is no question. But in a 4, I think it's going to take some chaos for them to make it. |
