Who is gonna win it all?

No idea who will win but I'm probably rooting for Oregon. They deserve it and I like watching them play. If not them, I don't have a problem with Texas. I like watching them play and they haven't won in a long time. Anyone but OSU. Want Texas still alive as long as OSU is still playing. If not Oregon or Texas, I'll root for one of the darkhorse underdog teams like Boise.
Its wide open.
I'd say UGA if they had Beck. I don't like Oregons draw at all. Texas hasn't beaten a top 25 team all year and Penn state hasn't been impressive. I still feel it will be 1 of those 4 teams unless OSU gets hot.
Ultimately, I'll pick Oregon but don't feel confident at all.

I think Oregon is gonna be my backup team until UK gets its stuff together. They are a lot of fun to watch.
I think Oregon chokes, idk if they can beat OSU twice in the same year. Georgia is also hot right now and I think they can handle Oregon
Plus, they've never won the title. Would love to see them get one here.
If I had to bet, I'd bet on Texas. PSU is woeful vs top 10 teams. Oregon has a very tough path to the championship. Georgia playing w/out Beck is at a big disadvantage. Ohio State, on paper, has a great chance. I just don't trust Day in big games. They seem to play tight. Might be a darkhorse (TN) but I sure wouldn't bet that way.
Pedo st can never win the big games, only beat up on mediocre teams... too bad they got put in the bracket with mediocre teams
Texas hasn't beat anyone good all season though. To be fair, they almost beat UGA last weekend. A and M is a solid win but after that? Yikes.
They clobbered michigan at home who beat Ohio St. They blasted Oklahoma who creme pied Alabama. I would say they are deserving of their playoff berth. They did enough to prove it.
Maybe. But, they're pretty solid on both sides of the ball, have a creative offense that keeps teams off balance and plenty of physical talent. Doesn't mean they'll win it all but, if I had to bet, I'd put it on the Horns. Full disclosure: I haven't bet on CFB in >15 years so saying I'd bet on them and actually DOING it, not gonna happen.
If Oregon doesn't lose their first game, they have a really good chance to win it all. I knew it would only be a matter of time until Oregon made their way to the top of the college football world with NIL and all of the money they have access to. Texas has a good chance to win it all, I don't know if Georgia can win it all with a backup quarterback, but I do think they can get to the semifinals with Stockton.
It’s a real deal post season tournament with a big field now so the rule of healthiest and hottest team applies I think. As well as path.
Which ever team has the best combination of the of the above I think will win.
PSU has the path of least resistance. As far as I know they’re healthy. Not necessarily hottest coming in off loss.
Oregon hottest team all year probably, got the confidence coming off a comfortable win vs PSU. Pretty solid in health…toughest road though.
Texas not healthy with Ewers. Not coming in hot having lost to a back up QB in Atlanta. Not an easy first game with Clemson.
The Fighting Dabos. Hot, momentum of conference title and on a mission having the year they’re having despite a lot of doubt and questions with how Dabo does or doesn’t do things in this new era. Great QB. Upset alert. I’d probably take Klubnik over Ewers head to head in a big game and moment. Then after that they’d have ASU. Probably favor them over ASU after an upset v Texas.
Norte Dame. Sneaky interesting potential. Easy first game. Then that D against a freshman QB, banged up from SEC road in general UGA who really been struggling and barely winning close games.

No one said they didn't deserve a playoff bid. I believe they should be the 3 seed (current rules are dumb).
7 and 5 michigan and 6 and 6 Oklahoma don't do much for me. That doesn't mean they can't upset other teams but they aren't top 25 teams.
IF UGA can win that first game with Stockton at QB i like our chances against everyone but Texas. Beating team 3 times in one year might be a first, especially when their fans are saying they beat us 9 out of 10 times. Texas math is different from Georgia math.
I have come around to Notre Dame; a very different team from the one we played in South Bend when they lost to Northern Illinois. Tough defensively, tough in the trenches and a running game that can grind teams into sausage. It's tough for me to wrap my mind around Riley Leonard leading a Championship run though.
Clemson isn't the Clemson people have grown accustomed to seeing; Klubnik is pretty efficient and tough in the clutch, but they just don't have the skill position firepower that you think of when you think of Clemson. Their O line is one of the lesser units among Playoff teams. At some point all of those blocked kicks will catch up to them despite the FG at the horn Saturday night.
Oregon's path is a tough one but they look like they check about every box for a modern football playoff run; brutally efficient QB manning a tempo attack and firepower galore. In a playoff where everybody seems to have a visible flaw, Oregon is the one team that doesn't.
...all of that said, all of that talent at Ohio State has me thinking it's a bad idea to completely dismiss them. Maybe their problem isn't in the CFP but it's hard to envision Ryan Day convincing a program that has spit the bit the last four years that they are playing on House Money.

Georgia has by far the easiest path. They can sleepwalk right into the Championship game. And once they are there? Who knows. They really don't seem that impressive roster wise on paper. They just have that Dawg in them where they will just fight and claw their way to victory.
I’ll be pulling for SMU. They could hurt recruiting for Texas, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma if they get rolling. Enough billionaires in Dallas to see that they do. Team to watch out for now that “cheating” is legal.
