No. 1 – Alabama Crimson Tide (14-0 entering CFP Title Game)

After winning their third SEC title in four seasons in Atlanta and the Peach Bowl in the same city, ‘Bama will return to open next year in a new stadium with a matchup against the Seminoles – one that fans of both teams have wanted to see for a while and most of college football has as well.

With the distinct change that Alabama could enter the game as the back-to-back national champs, it would be the biggest game since the title game during the 2013 season for FSU football.

Thanks to the new horrible playoff system, a loss also wouldn’t kill the ‘Noles since they could use the “quality loss” argument if they could win out.
