Exit Poll Picking playoff teams starts with Bama a

Each week this season we'll tap into the minds Jason Zucker Jersey of some of college football's best players from over the years in our weekly Exit Poll. This week, Sporting News asks: Which teams would be your top four seeds if there was a playoff this season and which head coach has impre sed you most this season (excluding, you know, that coach).1. If the new playoff format began this season, how would you rank them 1 to 4?Anthony McFarland: Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State, StanfordJake Plummer: Alabama, Oregon, Stanford, Ohio StateButch Woolfolk: Alabama, Oregon, Clemson, Ohio StateJared Zabransky: Alabama, Clemson, Oregon, Florida State2. Excluding Nick Saban, which coach has impre sed you most this season?Woolfolk: Ohio State's Urban Meyer. What other top 10 team can lose its starting quarterback and not mi s a step, along with having his top running back out for first several games.Plummer: David Shaw. He is a remarkable coach that gets the most out of his players. Stanford rarely makes mistakes, they play smart and physical, and he has allowed them to play fast. To me, that equates to a great coach.Zabransky: Urban Meyer. He took a team that had no chance of playing in a bowl game and went undefeated last year and hasn't lost since he took the job. How can you not be impre sed?McFarland: Coach David Shaw at Stanford. He's working with the least amount of talent in the top 5 and maybe getting the most out of it.3. It's been the year of the quarterback. Let's talk running backs. You get to pick one to be your featured back. Who do you take?Zabransky:Georgia's Todd Gurley. He could be a featured back on 75 percent of NFL teams. He can do it all -- catch the ball out of the backfield, run with power and has great speed. Zach Parise Jersey Plummer: Washington's Bishop Sankey. He gets you into second-and-5 every time he touches the ball. He has solid hands and is a great blocker.McFarland Charlie Coyle Jersey : Jeremy Hill at LSU. He's big, fast, has great vision and doesn't fumble like T.J. Yeldon.Woolfolk: Oregon's De'Anthony Thomas. He plays faster than everyone on the field andhe is more versatile in the pa sing game.PREVIOUS EXIT POLLS: | | | | | 4. We're about midway through the season (not quite) and have an idea about most teams. Which game on the schedule the rest of the season can you not wait to see?McFarland: LSU vs. Alabama if LSU has one lo s. If not, then FSU vs. Clemson.Woolfolk: Oregon at Stanford, Nov. 7, on Thursday night. One of those teams will play for the national championship.Zabransky: Florida State vs. Clemson, Oct. 19. I believe this will be two undefeated teams playing to get into a national championship and three potential Heisman winners will come out of these two schools.Plummer: Stanford vs. Oregon, Nov. 7.Our Exit Poll panelists:Anthony "Booger" McFarlandMcFarland was a first-team SEC and All-American noseguard in 1998 for the Tigers.
