Ohio State is in if Georgia loses to Alabama, especially if Bama loses today.

Ohio State losing close to the undefeated #3 team on the road is far more impressive than Georgia losing to a lower ranked Alabama at a neutral site, especially if bama loses today.
And if Alabama loses today the SEC could get shut out while the Big Ten sends two teams.

This would be the greatest melt in history, but there's almost zero chance this happens. Even with a loss, Georgia is probably still sitting ahead of Ohio State.

I think it would be up for debate, but I think you would be right in the end.

Seems clear cut at this point it should be SEC winner, Michigan, PAC 12 winner and either Texas or FSU. Don’t think a non-conference champ gets in this year.

They’d still need a lot of help. FSU or Texas would need to lose also.

Also, Oregon or Texas could jump OSU if they win their conference games

If Bama loses today, and then beats Georgia by 3 touchdowns, how in the hell could you send a 2 loss bama to playoffs, or a Georgia team that just got waxed by a 2 loss team ?

Tennessee beating Vandy is more impressive, No one disparages Bama's quality win.

Ohio State should get the nod over an FSU team without their star QB, and plays in the lame ACC

Well, first, I don't think anyone is beating Georgia by three touchdowns this year. Even so, they got beat by three scores in 2021 and still made it in.

I'd love for Ohio State to get another crack at TCUN, but I think we're playing in the Opt Out Bowl this year.

Did you put big $$ on the Buckeyes to win it all this year or something?

But they shouldn’t get in over a 10-1 Washington team, who got the shaft being ranked lower to begin with.

And what if Washington loses to Washington State tonight.
Not far fetched.
A close loss on road to Michigan blows away a loss to Washington State.

And if Oregon loses PAC12 Title game and has 2 losses, osu gets in over them.

It's unlikely osu gets in playoffs, but they are far from having been eliminated.

If Texas loses Big12 title game they are out with 2 losses.

Buckeyes just need a few things to fall their way,

That’s not true at all. That said, Ohio State needs everyone down to Missouri below them to lose to get in. I’m apathetic at this point. That was the game that mattered.

Then Udub won’t be in the conversation with 2 losses on the season.

Eta….udub isn’t losing today.

If both UGA and tOSU ar 1 loss teams without a conference title then UGA would go over tOSU

Even if Georgia got smoked by a 2 loss bama ?

Georgia hasn't been that impressive and bama is still bama and capable of putting it all together for a game
