The final four games of the 2013-14 college football season will have no bearing on the outcome of the Dowagiac Daily News Football Forecasters final standings

Going into Thursday night’s Sugar Bowl match-up between Clemson and Ohio State, Cas County Family Court Judge Sue Dobrich has a five-game lead over Tom Atkinson, which means she has locked up the championship.

Dobrich is 117-39 heading into the final four games, while Atkinson stands at 112-44.

He will have to fend off U.S. Congressman Fred Upton (111-45) to finish second.

The other battle will be for fourth place where Frank Williams (108-48), Bruce Laing (108-48), Jim Snow (106-50) and John Eby (105-51) are separated by three games.

The final standings will be announced following Monday’s BCS National Championship Game between Florida State and Auburn.
