Fair warning: CFT’s 2017 College Football Playoff predictions are boring
But, sometimes, reality is boring.
Alabama and Ohio State have pulled ahead of the pack in recruiting, return a number of players -- or, at least, a large enough number to outflank the competition -- and are still coached by Nick Saban and Urban Meyer. As such, our staff is picking (with one outlier) those two to square off for the 2017 national championship, with different views on how the title game goes down.
