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

Doesn't really matter. If TCU or K-State win out, there's a strong chance they get in.
K-State is a lock if they win out.
Do you think there is any way program prestige plays into this thing at the end?
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?

Losing at home to VT throws any legitimacy of your season out the window.

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.

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.
