Indiana is No. 1 for the first time. Will that success carry over into the College Football Playoff? Matthew O’Haren / Imagn Images
Much has changed since our preseason college football Hope-O-Meter survey, and now we’re trying something new: Asking fans of the 12 teams that made the College Football Playoff to let us know how hopeful they are now that the bracket is set and what their expectations are for their team.
Are you just happy to be here? Do you need to win at least one game? Is it national championship or bust? In the survey below, let us know how you’re feeling and whether you think your team is capable of winning the title. We’ll publish the results before the first round kicks off.
Want to give us your bracket picks? Submit them here.
