1/9 Orange

1/20 Championship      

I put projections for the games without lines based on Sagarin Ratings. A lot of unfavorable matchups for the Big Ten non-playoff teams.  Nebraska is the only team favored by much, and Minnesota projected to be a small favorite.

PSU will be a TD favorite in each of their first two games.

Projections of lines of their possible semi-final opponents:
 

Georgia +2.5
Notre Dame +3.5
Indiana -2

Penn State would have very reasonable odds to make the finals.

Projections of Oregon/Ohio State's semifinal opponents:

Opponent Oregon's Line Ohio State's Line
Texas +1 pickem
Clemson -7 -7.5
Arizona State -6 -6.5

Projections of Indiana's possible semifinal opponents:

Boise -6.5
Penn State +2
SMU -1
