Who Will Take the Crown? A Look at the College Football Playoff Favorites

The College Football Playoff is here, and the excitement is building. After a wild championship weekend, the teams are set, and the games start on December 19. Experts are busy making their picks for who will win it all in January. David Pollack, a former Georgia Bulldogs player turned analyst, shared his thoughts on the playoff scene. He believes only four teams have what it takes to win the expanded tournament. These teams are from the Big Ten and SEC conferences. Pollack is still backing the current champions, even after they lost their conference title game. He thinks they can bounce back and win again, making history with back-to-back titles.But Pollack's top pick is the Ohio State Buckeyes. Even though they lost their No. 1 spot after a recent defeat, he believes their team is too strong for the rest. He points to their talented players, like quarterback Julian Sayin and receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. Their offense has had some struggles, but their defense is one of the best in the country. Pollack sees this as a race between four teams: Georgia, Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon. The Buckeyes, now the No. 2 seed, will face the winner of the Miami vs. Texas A&M game in the quarterfinals on December 31. The road to the title won't be easy, but Pollack believes Ohio State has the best shot. Their mix of offensive firepower and defensive strength makes them a formidable opponent.
