I like your 8 overall, but I'd go:
1. Georgia
2. Ohio St.
3. Bama
4. TCU
5. Michigan
6. Tennessee
7. Penn St.
8. Tulane

I don't believe TCU was better than K-State at the season's end. Alabama would have coasted through most of the field, e.g. boat-racing EMAW. The two best teams didn't play in the championship. They earned it, but they were not the best two teams in the country. A 12-team playoff would have sorted all that out though. That's my point.

I watched Michigan play Ohio State last month. Not sure how you have Ohio State at two.
I have Ohio St. #2 because the semis showed IMO that they and Georgia were the two best teams in the country. Ohio St. led almost the entire game, twice up by 2 TDs, and only lost because of a missed FG. I have Alabama #3 because they had two losses to non-playoff teams and didn't play Georgia, which likely would've given them a third loss on the season.
Missouri almost beat Georgia. Should they be ranked 2?
Not Ohio State. Probably Bama. Maybe stay with TCU. They did beat Michigan after all, (who spanked Ohio State). I was never really impressed with Ohio State all year. I actually thought Georgia played rather poorly in the semifinal game. They play the way they did against TCU and they probably beat OSU by 30 plus. OSU also struggled at home to beat Notre Dame, who lost to Marshall the next week.
I would probably go
Georgia
Bama
TCU
Michigan
Selective use of the transitive property is a hallmark of sports prognostication.
So, after looking at the final A.P. Rankings, I am happy that TCU finished #02. That tells me that they didn't hold the blowout against TCU as much as they just know how good UGA was. There are a few coaches glad they were not on the wrong end of that assault!
Tenn has had like one good year and got boat raced by South Carolina, let’s not put them in that category yet
Overrated. Big 10 football is more overrated than Big 10 basketball. That's how overrated Big 10 football is.
It's Georgia, Ohio St., Alabama, and everyone else.
Yep and the year before they were 7-5. They were a good team this year but you need more then one year to be in the same category as the other three. With the talent they are bringing in they could certainly get close but as we know with texas and Miami coaching plays a major role.
