Summary
It's receipts time! We put our college football credibility on the line with our official 12-team playoff brackets, complete with seeding, matchups, and championship predictions. The time has come to go all-in on our bold calls that will either age like fine wine or haunt us all season long.
We break down our top-4 seeds (spoiler: we disagree wildly on Clemson), debate the SEC vs. Big 12 representation, and explain why Notre Dame might be the key to everything. Plus, we reveal our Heisman winners, Coach of the Year picks, and other awards predictions.
The Verballerhood also chimes in with their own bold predictions via the Reverb line, including some spicy takes on Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, and whether all three service academies can make bowl games.
But that's not all – it wouldn't be the college football season without some Fantasy Things to keep us entertained. Join in on the fun as we draft the quirky college football storylines and media moments we're most excited to track this season. Think espionage scandals, bizarre training regimens, Dave Portnoy vs. Urban Meyer, and RG3 going rogue in the Fox Sports booth.
