However, with Landry Jones staying in school, the Oklahoma Sooners will still take the prize. The Fiesta Bowl will have first choice of the at-larges in , and thus they will be able to create an attractive match-up. Clemson returns Tajh Boyd, Sammy Watkins, and six starters on defense, and thus will be a force in the Atlantic Division.
USC may come back from probation with a bang this year with the boatload of talent that they have returning. Elsewhere, the Big Ten gets a boost across the board, while the Pac fallout jams up everything for just about the whole West Coast.
Explanations to follow, and let's talk about these things in the comments. If No. Do you take a shockingly win Tigers team that will buy up every Superdome seat in an instant, or do you take the Aggies, who'll also load up New Orleans and can offer Johnny Manziel's probable last game as a college football player?

It's possible that Florida State vs. Auburn would be the most competitive title game considering their contrasting styles. The Tigers are among the best rushing teams in the nation with an average of more than yards per game on the ground.
Florida State can run the ball as well, but they also boast an explosive passing game behind Winston. Barring any NFL Draft defections, the Tigers will be bringing back just about their entire pass receiving corps. Only two LSU players who have caught a pass this year are seniors and both of those are tight ends. The offensive line also brings just about everyone back as only one of LSU's starting linemen Will Blackwell is a senior.
