It’s never too early to pick the four teams in the College Football Playoff, or find anything for that matter to entertain yourself during a Miami-Cincinnati game.

Only four weeks have gone by, but ESPN’s Thursday night crew, which consists of Jesse Palmer, David Pollack, Joe Tessitore and Kaylee Hartung, gave their opinions. The group decided on Ole Miss, Michigan State, Utah and Ohio State — in that order — in the field. UCLA and TCU are the next two out.

While they have two Big Ten teams making it in, ESPN analyst Trevor Matich has two SEC teams in the playoff, substituting LSU in place of the Buckeyes.
