Four schools from four different conference are projected by "the computer" to make up this year's Final Four in the College Football Playoff, and two of those teams would be making their first-ever appearance in the playoff.
"The computer" is the Congrove Computer Rankings at CollegeFootballPoll.com. The website celebrates 25 years this season while the rankings themselves enter their 31 season.
Michigan, USC, Florida State, and Tennessee are the projected top 4 at the end of the regular season..
The Wolverines have made the playoffs in each of the last two seasons, bowing out both times with a loss in the semis. Michigan hasn't claimed a national championship since 1997, which the AP Poll put the Wolverines at No.1 while the Coaches' Poll gave the nod to Nebraska. That was the last season that the polls held the sole determination as the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) began the following year.
Tennessee and USC have never made the playoffs.
The Vols haven't competed for the national title since winning that inaugural BCS Championship game in 1998 over Florida State. It came a year after Peyton Manning was off to the NFL and Tee Martin was the QB. The Vols are only fourth on the list of SEC Champion favorites this year.
USC last competed for the national championship in the BCS days when the Trojans fell to Texas in the epic game that concluded the 2005 season. USC had won the BCS title the previous year by romping over Oklahoma. And the Trojans won a split title the year before that when the AP declared independence from the BCS Rankings and a majority voted for USC instead of LSU after USC had beaten Michigan in the Rose Bowl. The Wolverines conceivably would have been voted champion by the AP had they won the game. LSU had defeated Oklahoma in the BCS title game in the Sugar Bowl.
Florida State made the playoff in the first year of its existence in 2014, but was crushed by Oregon. This came a season after the 'Noles had claimed the last title of the BCS era by edging Auburn in Pasadena.
No Georgia. No Alabama. No Clemson. No worries. Those teams only represent 7 of the last 8 national champions. The 'Dawgs and Tide are the top two betting favorites to win the championship this year The computer has them missing the playoffs, but not by much.
Georgia is out because Tennessee gets to host the 'Dawgs in the next-to-last week of the regular season and the Vols are 2.15-point computer favorites in that contest.
Alabama is out because the computer has the Tide falling to Tennessee twice.
Clemson is out because the computer has the Tigers as underdogs twice to Florida State.
One of the top questions asked every season is, "Will Any College Football Teams Go Undefeated in 2023?" We have had four undefeated national champions since the FBS College Football Playoff era began in 2014. All of those have come in the last five seasons with Georgia accomplishing that feat last year to match Alabama (2020), LSU (2019) and Clemson (2018)
The computer's top four are all projected to make it through the regular season unscathed. And, with all four schools hailing from four separate conferences, there is a mathematical chance that it could happen. However, Michigan is the only team whose projected conference championship tussle is NOT a rematch of a regular season game.
Southern Cal hosts Washington on November 4 as 4.30-point favorite, Florida State goes to Clemson on September 23 as a 1.89-point pick, and Tennessee goes to Alabama as a scant 0.86-point choice on October 21
In the conference championship rematches, the computer has USC as just a 1.55-point pick over Washington, Florida State by 5.22 over Clemson, and Tennessee gets past Alabama as a 3.95-point choice.
Michigan is a decisive 19.19-point play over Wisconsin.
Semifinals
(1) Michigan by 5.57 over (4) Tennessee
(2) USC by 0.18 over (3) Florida State
Championship
Michigan by 5.36 over USC
The computer's projected Final Four could be blown up by having the usual suspects - Alabama, Georgia, Clemson - all pile back in.
It certainly isn't a reach to have Ohio State knock off Michigan, Clemson beat Florida State, Georgia beat Tennessee, and Alabama beat Georgia.
The PAC-12 is loaded in the year before it gets eviscerated by realignment. Washington, Oregon and Utah can all challenge the Trojans.
Texas looks like it could make a run at a perfect season in its final year in the Big 12. The computer does not see Oklahoma as a major threat, but no one would be surprised if the Sooners bounced back to the top. Texas Tech is a legitimate dark horse.
Penn State will pose a threat to the Buckeyes and Wolverines. Michigan has to visit the Nittany Lions two weeks before hosting Ohio State.
Notre Dame is only projected to go 9-3, but the expected losses are all by less than 5 points and two of those games are at home as the Irish host Ohio State (3.39) and USC (4.08). The other predicted setback is a 4.98-point disadvantage at Clemson.
Most of the playoff era has proven to be rather uneventful. 2023 could play out much differently. If it doesn't, there's always next year when we are guaranteed to have more excitement as the playoff expands to 12 teams.
