That 2027 recruiting class means absolutely nothing for this season's playoff. Oregon's roster talent is elite but they face a brutal schedule with road games at Michigan and Ohio State. Miami's quarterback put up numbers against weak ACC defenses, his QBR against top-30 teams last year was just 48.2. Oklahoma has to navigate the SEC with a defense that ranked 89th in yards per play allowed. The idea that Georgia and Alabama are done is absurd. Georgia returns a defense that was top five in scoring and Alabama's roster still has more five-stars than anyone. The SEC isn't going anywhere.
