The new 12-team College Football Playoff is here and with it, there are opportunities for a cinderella team to capture the crown there never were before. Take Arizona State, a two-loss team, which would've been eliminated from championship contention in October under the old system. Led by running back Cam Skattebo, who accounted for nearly 2,100 total yards and 22 touchdowns, the Sun Devils have won six straight games and are as hot as any team not named Oregon heading into the CFP.

With a quarterfinal matchup against the winner of the Clemson-Texas game, can the Sun Devils shock the college football world and advance to the semifinals -- or even further? The Sun Devils are +6000 in the latest national title odds, matching Clemson for the second-longest odds in the field.

Cohen, host of the weekly Early Edge College Football Picks on CBS Sports Network, is evaluating the entire College Football Playoff bracket and delivers score predictions and logic for each matchup. With a record of 66-44 (60%) in college football picks this season, Cohen's picks are up nearly $2,000 for $100 bettors. Anyone who has followed Cohen's CFB predictions is up BIG! 

We can tell you that in the first round Cohen likes No. 6 Penn State to defeat No. 11 SMU in a very tight game, 27-23. Cohen says Penn State wouldn't cover as an 8.5-point favorite. "What a dream draw for Penn State, which didn't beat anyone all that great this season. A home game against the last team in the field plus a potential quarterfinal matchup against the Mountain West champion, Boise State. Putting SMU in the CFP was the right move by the committee as not to de-value conference championship games. I can see the Mustangs making this interesting, but I'm not sure they have enough to get it done in Happy Valley. Penn State 27, SMU 23"

He has particularly surprising picks for Texas, Notre Dame and Georgia as well. Nailing these results are key to making profitable College Football Playoff bracket picks.
