Steele projects the Crimson Tide to win the SEC and reach the CFB Playoff again in 2015, joining two other SEC teams in New Year’s Six bowl games. He went a step further and likes TCU to meet Ohio State in the national championship game with the Buckeyes defending their title.

Phil Steele’s 2015 New Year’s Six Predictions

  • Orange Bowl (CFP semifinal): No. 1 Ohio State vs. No. 4 USC
  • Cotton Bowl (CFP semifinal): No. 2 TCU vs. No. 3 Alabama
  • Fiesta Bowl: Boise State vs. Notre Dame
  • Peach Bowl: LSU vs. Florida State
  • Sugar Bowl: Georgia vs. Baylor
