Since the start of the CFP era, there have been 52 spots in the playoffs. The number of teams from Florida to fill those spots: One. Florida State in 2014.

There aren't many Big 12 defenders that jump off the page in 2025, aside from Clark. Heading into his fifth season, he's one of the most experienced players in the conference at a playmaking position. He's improved every season since taking over the starting role, and I expect him to make impact plays weekly for a TCU team I'm very high on.
