As they do every year, \u00a0the GridironStuds Show released their college football conference by conference predictions along with predictions on which teams will make the college football playoff and win the championship.<\/p>\n

Co-hosts of the GridironStuds Show, \u00a0Chad Wilson and Emil Calomino have been pretty adept in years past picking the playoff participants and while there weren’t a ton of surprises in this year’s show, \u00a0each host had a bit of a surprise finisher in their top 4. \u00a0Both hosts also agreed on which school would be hold up the trophy at year’s end. \u00a0It should be noted that neither host discuss their selections prior to doing the show making their unanimous decision as to who would be champion a bit \u00a0unusual.<\/p>\n

Host Chad Wilson, \u00a0who runs the website GridironStuds.com picked Alabama to win the SEC, Clemson to win the ACC and Ohio St. to win the Big Ten. \u00a0He also picked those three schools to be in the college football playoff tournament at the end of the season. \u00a0The bit of a surprise pick to join those three schools was Notre Dame. \u00a0The Fighting Irish have not been on the short list of many national writers and commentators to make it to the playoff despite their preseason ranking of 10 in the AP Poll and #9 in the coach’s poll. \u00a0Perhaps more of a surprise was Wilson’s prediction that Notre Dame would make it all the way to the final game and take on Ohio St.<\/p>\n

Emil Calomino agreed with Wilson on three of his four selections for the playoff as he picked Ohio St. to win the Big Ten, \u00a0Clemson to win the ACC and thinks Notre Dame will make it in as an independent or bastard member of the ACC. \u00a0What shocked listeners was Calomino picking the Florida Gators to win the SEC and make the college football playoff. \u00a0Florida surprised everyone last year winning 10 games and making it to the SEC championship game before getting beat by Alabama. \u00a0Calomino believes they build off of that and make it all the way to the championship game. \u00a0Like Wilson though, \u00a0Calomino thinks Ohio St. triumphs in the end with a win over Florida. \u00a0Ohio St. vs. Florida? \u00a0Think of all of the storylines in such a meeting.<\/p>\n
