It's amazing to think that there is still a lot of clamoring out there for Bob Stoops to be fired from his job with the Oklahoma Sooners. Yes, it has been a while since the Sooners have been relevant, but they’ve consistently been a good team with spurts in his tenure in which they had the best team in America.... 

The Florida State Seminoles have unequivocally had the best two-year run in college football. They haven't lost a regular season game since 2012, and they have a National Championship and a spot in the CFP to show for their work.... 

When Brian Kelly brought his Notre Dame Fighting Irish to the National Championship Game a couple seasons ago, he did so with a ton of seniors and a lot of good fortune. This year, he has senior starters all over the field once again, and many believe that there is a legitimate chance for the Golden Domers to qualify for the CFP as a result.... 

The Baylor Bears were probably victimized last season by the fact that the Big XII didn't have a conference title game, but the fact of the matter is that they should be ashamed of themselves for losing the Cotton Bowl in a de facto home game against Michigan State after holding a 20-point fourth quarter lead.
It's tough to see how Art Briles and the gang are ever getting closer to a National Championship than they were last year.... 

Mark Dantonio was on the verge of being fired just a few seasons ago. Now, he has had four 11+ win seasons in his last five years, and has led the Michigan State Spartans to four consecutive bowl wins, including two straight in the BCS bowls. Is this the year he and his Spartans end up legitimately contending for a National Championship?... 

It has been a while since the boys from the Bayou have legitimately been National Championship contenders.
This year though, the LSU Tigers could be back with vengeance, as they have a whopping 17 starters returning from a team which went 8-5 a campaign ago.... 

Yes, the Auburn Tigers went 8-5 last season, and that generally doesn't bode well for anyone the next season. However, that schedule from last season won't be duplicated this year, and Gus Malzahn could have his crew right back in the thick of things in 2015.... 

Life after Chip Kelly wasn't supposed to be that easy for the Oregon Ducks, but in their two seasons without the man who helped architect their current system, they have been incredibly successful. But can they be successful without the man who was arguably the best quarterback in school history, Marcus Mariota?... 

Urban Meyer and the Ohio State Buckeyes shocked the world last season by sneaking into the first College Football Playoff and winning the National Championship when they got there. They've got over half of their starters back, including three potential Heisman Trophy contenders at quarterback, and they have a paper thin schedule. Getting back to the playoff seems like a solid bet.... 

No team had a bigger gripe about not getting into the first College Football Playoff than the TCU Horned Frogs. The argument could be made that the Frogs arrived a year earlier than they were scheduled to in 2014 though, and that could be bad news for the rest of America in 2015.... 

The 2014 season was likely viewed as a great disappointment for the Alabama Crimson Tide even though they were semifinalists in the first ever College Football Playoff. Anything less than a National Championship is a big disappointment, and this year isn't going to be an exception with what has become a Nick Saban rule.... 

The 2015 college football season is still a few months away, but the best time could be right now to cash in on the odds to win the National Championship in the second year of the College Football Playoff era....
