Ohio State got in over Baylor because Ohio State had a "better loss".


That isn't why TCU and Baylor watched Ohio State play.

The truth is OSU’s best team ever watched from the fiesta bowl as they trailed for 1 second in the season because of resume. Very similar to Alabama. Maybe they shoulda not Scheduled Mercer???

The more I think about it, the more I think Ohio state is screwed. We already knew,coming in, that beat scenario for Ohio state was for bama to win out.
Now, losing today was better than them losing next week so that keeps things interesting. Ohio state would have two wins over top ten teams, which Alabama does not. But they might not get over that Iowa loss.
Will be interesting to see how they stack these on Tuesday

Another 59-0 win obviously won’t happen. But say they win by 3+ TD’s, Bama fans have to be extremely nervous, right?

We don't deserve to be in the playoffs. If we make it...sweet. If we don't. Oh, well. Either way...this team isn't good enough to win the national championship. Too much inconsistency on offense and can't get off the field on third down on defense.

Going into today, the consensus was bama, miami and oklaho.a had to win out to get the bucks in. Now that scenario is unraveling, you and everyone else is grasping at straws to get them in. It isnt happening

Because Notre Dame is a shite team that got blown out by Miami and lost at home to Georgia despite an hilarious amount of help from the refs. They shouldn't even be near the top 10.



While this was downvoted, shitty ND is being curb-stomped by Stanford.

I see Ohio State Fans counting chickens already. I think Wisconsin is really the superior team in the Big Championship Game. I saw Iowa thrash OSU and Wisconsin handle them rather easy. Same thing with Michigan. I do think OSU has better talent but they haven’t been able to harness it all year.

Wisconsin 24
Ohio State 17

Georgia is probably been a tad overrated all season.

Clemson was downgraded too low after lose to Syracuse when starting QB Bryant got inured, Auburn’s Loss to Clemson doesn’t hurt then nor the loss to LSU.

1. Oklahoma
2. Clemson
3. Auburn
4. Wisconsin

This is how I see the final 4

I think Wisconsin is better than they are given credit for. I think Wisconsin beats Ohio State by more than 2 touchdowns.

You can't get blown out...which killed PSU last year in getting in the playoffs as Big10 Champs.

If the Committee is consistent, they will keep OSU out even as Big10 champs.

But then again, the Committee has changed with new members...so maybe it's an all new criteria.

This is why it's total crap...teams don't know the parameters, what to do beyond be perfect - and even that might be the be all and end all - it's all subjective bullshite week by week. There's no goalposts - even winning your Conference isn't a guarantee.

And your schedule turned out to totally suck in hindsight.

So there's also that.

Not sure why everyone has auburn in over bama. 2 losses to 1 trumps h2h. At least it always has before
