Nebraska coach Matt Rhule has emphasized the sport's importance despite widespread complaints about its state. Among the predictions are Florida State coach Mike Norvell being the first fired, and the Big Ten possibly producing a fourth consecutive national champion. Georgia is considered likely to be the SEC's last team standing in the playoff, with an easier schedule and returning starters. Additionally, a Big Ten quarterback may win the Heisman Trophy, a rare feat in recent years.
