Looking @ the Big 12 OOC Power 5 wins, thankfully the Big Ten still counts

Those wins aren't even good.

The ACC is 1-4 against the B1G. Of course VT beat OSU, and that's really all anyone remembers. If FSU has a loss, they should be out before a 1 loss team from any other conference. However, they are defending champs and that will probably play in whether or not it should

Edit:

I think it should be SEC/Pac 12/Big 12/B1G/ACC is they are equal losses. However, FSU is probably ahead of any B1G team with 1 loss

On the flip side the Big 12 doesn't really have any embarrassing losses like the Big 10 or ACC has. Which is why they are behind the SEC/Pac-12 but ahead of the Big 10/ACC.

Same Minnesota team that won't be favored in another game this season and will likely end 6-6 or 7-5

If K-State wins out they could have a case depending on other factors.

Minnesota is such a fraud. They can't beat anyone of quality under Jerry Kill.

1-9 against the AP Top 25.

They started the season 6-1 and there is a real chance they end the season 6-6 or 7-5 as they get Iowa, Ohio State, Nebraska, and Wisconsin over the next four weeks.

Looks like the Big 12's best OOC win was a close loss to Auburn

No way the Big 12 champion should get into the playoff over a 1 loss SEC/Pac12/ACC/Notre Dame team

Didn't they go from 8-2 to 8-5 last year

Do you think there is any way program prestige plays into this thing at the end?

Not really.

I think the committee just showed that the media isn't in control anymore. It's gonna be based off resume. Who you beat, who you lost to, and where you played.


Teams are actually going to have to earn their ranking. Not on brand name and not on the eye test. It's about results.

Ohio State is going to have a hard time getting in unless a lot of other teams lose. Michigan State has a better chance because they have a good loss. And that's why they are ranked so far ahead of Ohio State right now.

I don't think in any way OSU has played well enough to get in, but will there be pressure to put them in if they only have 1 loss at years end?

---

Like I said, they'll need A LOT of help. A lot.

If FSU wins tonight, it's almost impossible they lose again. Oregon should win out. An SEC team will get in. So Ohio State will somehow have to win out and also have a better resume than the Big 12 champion or a second SEC team.

I just don't see how they'll be able to do that with the schedule they play. They're gonna need to win out in a dominating fashion, hope the SEC West runner up has 2 losses, and hope TCU, Kansas State, AND Baylor just tank down the stretch.

Ohio State might not only have to beat Michigan State next weekend, they may have to beat them by 2-3 scores.

That has nothing to do with the panel at the end potentially comparing OSU to say Kansas State. Both conference champs, one has millions (billions??) of tons of $ invested in football, will bring fans, and has top 5 recruiting classes.

I just wonder if that will play into people's thoughts. It shouldn't

The difference is that Kansas State and Ohio State's resumes wouldn't even be in the same galaxy. Not even the same universe.

K-State would have wins @Oklahoma, @West Virginia, @TCU, and @Baylor.

All of those teams would be ranked, most of them in the top 10 or top 15. And they'd have a MUCH better loss than Ohio State.

Maybe if you compare Ohio State to a team with a resume closer to theirs, you could make the argument for program prestige coming into play. But not with a team like Kansas State, or even TCU.
