As you can tell, both agree on who the top 2 teams in the country are, Georgia and Alabama, however, they disagree on the rest of their top 4.
McElroy thinks Michigan State and Cincinnati should be at No. 3 and 4, while Cubelic has Oregon and Michigan State as his 3 and 4.
The big question on Tuesday night will be how the Playoff committee ranks teams after No. 1 Georgia.
Is it one-loss Oregon, which defeated Ohio State, or Ohio State whose only loss was to Oregon? And let’s not forget that Oklahoma despite its struggles at times this season, hasn’t lost a game and neither has Wake Forest, which is not even in the conversation.
It will be interesting to see who the committee picks as its top 4.
