The college football playoff kicks off on Friday, so it’s time to break down who the top draft prospects are in these games. As always, the rankings come from the consensus draft board. Juniors will have one asterisk next to their name, while draft-eligible sophomores will have two.

The winner of this game will play Indiana in the Rose Bowl.
