CFB Top25 Week 15 and CFB Playoff Rankings by Joey Baloney and CupofJoeintheD

        Here is the CFB Top 25 Week 15 updated by Joey the CFB Cat Analyst and also by CupofJoeintheD and a recap of Week 14 of the CFB season. Week 14 seen many of the Conferences hosting their Championship Games and a few regular conference games played as well to end the season. The CFB Playoffs were announced on Sunday after allot of debating and last minute discussion on who would be in and who would be left out looking in.
       There were no real surprises in the Championship Games in the Power 5 Conferences as both Clemson and Washington took care of Business winning their games and making the strongest cases to be in the 4 team Playoffs. Michigan and Penn State should be the first 2 left out and while both these teams can make strong cases to be in the Playoffs both didn't handle their business when they needed too and lost games they should of won. While cases can be made for others as well, this is not a fool proof process and there will always be a team or two that thought they should be in every year. 
       The Coaching carousel has already begun with ex Houston Cougars Coach Tom Herman telling everyone he wasn't going anywhere and that money didn't mean anything to him but in reality he tried to hold 2 Colleges hostage and in the end, money meant everything and He ended up taking the Texas job. Purdue and Indiana and Baylor have already filled their Head Coaching positions and Oregon has settled on a candidate or 2. Houston looks like the last of the bigger schools at this point who are taking their time deciding on a head coach. Make no mistake, the Boosters at both LSU and Texas run the football programs as at both schools the Boosters paid out heavy buyouts to ex Coaches Charlie Strong and Les Miles. Other Head Coaches are on the hot seat and even though Notre Dame has said all year long that Brian Kelly's job was safe, one has to wonder how a Pre Season Top 10 team loaded with all the talent it has could end up 4-8 and getting blown out by USC to end the season.      
      The Heisman Trophy winner will be announced on Saturday and even though they always bring 5 Top Choices to the Presentation, I have no doubt it is a 2 man race with Lamar Jackson (Louisville) beating out DeShawn Jackson  (Clemson).              
      The Final 4 CFB Playoff teams will be; Alabama, Ohio State, Clemson and Washington.  Looking in next will be; Michigan and Penn State    ...
      Joey Baloney went 10-2 in week 14, and is 226-41 after 14 weeks, including picking 53 upset winners.  Thank you for following Joey Baloney  throughout another great year of picking the winners..  Joey  will also be predicting all the Bowl Games and the final CFB Top 25 after the Bowl Games.  Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years and a Joyous Holidays Season.  twitter; @cupofjoeinthed  email; cupofjoeinthed@gmail.com
