Players to watch: One player to watch on every College Football Playoff team
This is only the second season of the 12-team College Football Playoff, but this bracket is among the weirder in the playoff era. Two Group of Five teams?

Last week ATS: 7-2 (7-1 National, 0-1 B1G) Season ATS: 132-113 (65-56 National, 67-57 B1G) Aside from Ohio State and Virginia losing on Saturday night, my picks for the rest of the conference title games were flawless.
