On this big Wednesday episode, Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah think about welcoming some new teams to the discussion, think about kicking some teams out of the discussion, and in between rank all of the real national title contenders in college football.

With the help of their text subscribers (you can join the texts for a 14-day free trial at 817-442-6789), Doug and Shehan start by adding a team to the current 10 contenders. Penn State, Iowa, UCLA and Texas are discussed, and one of them is voted in.

Then Doug and Shehan rank all their contenders, where the biggest disagreement is over Clemson and Oklahoma.

Then finally, they kick out a contender, with Oregon, Iowa State, Notre Dame and Clemson all considered. One of them gets the boot.

Doug Lesmerises and Shehan Jeyarajah have been talking about the College Football Playoff since the middle of July. Now they'll tell you which four teams they think are going to make it.

On this final preseason episode of The College Football Playoff Show, Doug and Shehan each explain why they chose their four playoff teams, why they left certain teams out, and which team they think is going to win the national title. That's in the second half of the show.

In the first half, Doug and Shehan analyze the Cincinnati Bearcats and whether they should become the 10th team to officially join the group of contenders before the start of the regular season. North Carolina was rejected last week. Will this week be kinder to Cincinnati?

Thanks for listening to The College Football Playoff Show, and don't miss the shows next week, when the analysis will be based on what happens on the field this weekend with the best teams in the country.
