David Pollack, former Georgia defensive end and ESPN analyst, has made his College Football Playoff predictions on his podcast, 'See Ball Get Ball'. He confidently includes teams like Notre Dame, Miami, and Georgia among the playoff contenders. Pollack ranks Georgia as the No. 5 seed and expects them to defeat No. 12 Boise State but ultimately lose to the Oregon Ducks, whom he believes will claim the national title. Pollack foresees Oregon overcoming the Texas Longhorns in the championship match, despite Texas being a lower seed at No. 7. His picks reflect confidence in Oregon's physicality and experience, following a disappointing previous season for his 2025 predictions.
