Sporting News analyst predicts this season's College Football Playoff field
Every year since the College Football Playoff came into existence, the Alabama Crimson Tide have made the field of four.
Heading into the 2019 season, they’ll be favored to make the final four once again, and perhaps even to claim title No. 6 under Nick Saban.
This week, Sporting News analyst Bill Bender made some predictions for the upcoming season (including a few regarding the SEC). At the end, he picked his four CFP participants, and unsurprisingly, Alabama is in once again:
Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Texas. If there was a way to get Alabama-Clemson V out of the way in the semifinals, that’d be even better with the drama around Zach Smith and Herman last season. Texas-Ohio State would be fantastic.
And who will win? Bender thinks the Tide will hoist the CFP trophy once again:
Alabama will continue the trend of alternating national championship seasons in the CFP era, and there’s a good chance Clemson will be on the other sideline.

Predicting Ohio State and Texas is wishful thinking
The Tide & Clemson should get there. The horns? lol.
Sorry, gman. Texas will make it. It’s just sad that Meyer will not be on the end of the whupping Ohio State will get.
Sorry redsox, t.u. will not make it. A loss to LSU and a loss to OU (at least once) and they are out. I frankly think they have 4 or more losses (again) due to all the contributors that are not returning.
What? Not Mizzou? Never will be picked even when we win it.
Cant play in a bowl game with a bowl ban.
Missouri fans are usually good for a laugh when they post…
Texas, that’s a joke. UGA failed to show up for the Sugar Bowl, got bum-rushed early in the game and still almost came back.
Okalahoma with Hurts has a great chance to make it, much better chance than UT.
The final/NC will be UGA v Clemson.
Book it tards.
