For years, the FCS College Football rankings system would be a center of debate at the end of the year when it determined the top two teams in the nation that would face off for the national title. Finally, after all these years, the NCAA has converted to a four-team playoff system and this year will be their maiden voyage into a new exciting experience for any football fan. Mixing the excitement of college football with a fun, easy to follow playoff format sounds like a clear win-win.

But, there still needs to be a committee to choose the top four teams in the nation to play out the three games to crown the champion. After what was an exciting weekend of college football, I have, in order, the top four teams in the nation: Florida State University (FSU), Oregon University, the University of Alabama and Texas Christian University (TCU). If the playoffs were to start today, here is how I think it would pan out.

Semi Finals

TCU (4) at FSU (1)

There are few teams putting up more points than those TCU Horned Frogs. They’re putting up nearly 50 points per game, enough to cause any defensive coordinator to lose sleep when preparing for them. But who better to take that type of offensive firepower on than a stout Florida State defense that has experience in playing in big games. Jameis runs too good of an offense to stall out against this defense, and for the second straight year Jimbo Fisher’s Seminoles will play for the National Championship.

Alabama (3) at Oregon (2)

After a big win against Mississippi State, Alabama is back in a playoff spot. Alabama is arguably the best overall team in college football from the head coach all the way down to their punter. But, standing in their way of playing in the National Championship is Marcus Mariotas’ Oregon Ducks who are keeping the tradition of putting up massive point totals game in and game out. Mariota very well might be the No.1 pick in the 2015 NFL Draft, but in this matchup he cannot lead his team over Alabama as they roll to the national title game.

National Championship Game

Alabama (3) at FSU (1)

These two teams are clearly the best that college football has to offer this year. The past two NCAAF Champions matching up in January would be a game of epic proportions. This game could also feature two of the Heisman finalists in FSU quarterback Jameis Winston and Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper. In a game where both teams are pretty equally matched and have experience playing in big games, it comes down to execution. It is hard for me to pick against a Nick Saban led team in a matchup like this, and I see the Alabama Crimson Tide bringing home another national title. Roll tide!
