The College Football Playoff is here, and not everyone is happy about which teams made the cut. Some fans are thrilled, while others are upset, especially those rooting for Notre Dame. If you're still deciding who to support, here's a fun guide to help you pick a team.
Ohio State is a strong choice if you love history. They have a chance to win back-to-back national championships, which is no easy feat. But if you're not into that, you might want to skip them since they already won last year.
Georgia is another top team. They've been dominating lately, and their defense is tough. But they've had some struggles earlier in the season, so it's not a sure thing.
Alabama is in the mix too, but they're not as strong as they used to be. Their passing game has been shaky, and their defense isn't as scary as it once was. If you root for them, be ready for a tough ride.
Oklahoma has a great defense but struggles on offense. Their quarterback got hurt, and they don't have a strong running game. They're underdogs against Alabama, so don't expect an easy win.
Miami is back in the spotlight, thanks to nostalgia. But their coach isn't the best at making big decisions during games. They have the talent, but it's a gamble.
Texas A&M had a good season, but no one knows how good they really are. They beat some weak teams, so it's hard to say if they can handle the big games.
Oregon is a young team with a lot of potential. They might not win this year, but they could be a force in the future.
Tulane is a feel-good story, but they're likely to lose early. Still, it's fun to cheer for the underdog.
Texas Tech spent a lot of money to build their team, and it paid off. They're a strong contender, but some fans might not like their "new money" style.
James Madison is another underdog, but they're probably not going to win. Still, it's worth cheering for them to prove that smaller schools can compete.
Ole Miss has a lot of drama, which makes them fun to watch. They're good, but not quite as strong as the top teams.
Indiana is the biggest surprise. They went from losers to champions in just two years. It's a great story, but they'll have to face tough teams to win it all.
