Great news, everyone!
Baylor getting beat down by Kansas St.

OSU is gonna have to destroy UM if they want to get in to the playoffs.
Lol no

Nah they'll honestly probably make it if they win no matter what. A win vs. a top 5 team isn't going to hurt their resume.

First win by a top-5 ranked OSU team against Sparty since 1973

arguably the best resume of any team.

Are Utah and Oregon in the SEC or something? Look at that low halftime score

I think "in November" is a thing in that stat also, we blew them out when we were #1 in '06 or' 07 IIRC.

Still hav to win your conference or hope another conference winner is a 2 loss champ for tOSU to get inarguably the best resume of any team.

that probably pours cold water on Ohio State getting to the playoff without winning it's division.
Not extinguishing it, cause everyone else may still lose, but didn't help their case

I'd argue for the one loss teams yes. Except that right now a lot those teams get one more game. Hell anOsu can still get in the BIG champs so this is kind of a moot point.
Championship games have shown that the committee have wide chamges of heart. Not saying it's right just saying they cannot leave doubt in case they arent in the conf champs, and there is some kind of crazy blowout in a Conf Champ game that leaves them at 5.

Not understanding how OSU's resume is the best in the playoff hunt field (at this point in time).

I don't think so. If anything, they'll get slotted at 4th behind the other conference champions. But they have to win next week for that to be relevant, and based on how they looked today, a win is questionable.

You didn't qualify your original post with "among 1-2 loss teams", assumed you meant of the entire field. I'd still put Clemson over you guys for now, though.
Why run a toss?! Just shove it down their throats! It's been working this whole drive.
Was looking like his 2009 offense, run it till you make them sick.
Just derped the toss, which didn't look that open.

if there is ever such a thing as a bad win, that has to be it.

Utah has a decent D. The 7 points scored against UO D is an a odd one.

OSU must beat Michigan & hope another non-SEC conference melts down. I still think Bama & the B1G champ are in no matter what.

Theyd get in over Wisconsin, unless head to head only matters when OSU is on the wrong side of it. They have a better overall resume than UW. Actually, in that scenario, I think OSU and Wisconsin both get in.

OSU are in the playoffs if they beat Michigan and PSU wins out, simple as that.
mayyyybe.
Alabama wins out (IN)
PSU wins out
Clemson wins out (IN)
Washington wins out (IN - big wins over WSU, and either Colorado or USC)
West Virginia wins out (maybe)
Ohio State
Michigan loses to Indiana
Tough. WVU hasn't played anyone but would have a win over Oklahoma here late and would be a 1-loss conference champ. And then of course PSU would end with the big win over Wisconsin. I think it'd be close between tOSU/PSU/WVU for the last slot

A conference champion with a win over a potential top 10 team?
I can easily see washington getting left out in the cold.
I can too but we don't know how much Conf Championships count. You'd rather be playing that day than not.
Also there is no guarantee that Penn St beats MSU.
I can say that if the committee chooses a 1 loss conf champ over a 1 loss anOSU, I wouldn't find that too horrible.

Welp UVA's backup QB sucks donkey balls so we won. Offense had some big plays, but we never seemed fully in rhythm. UVA sucks though so GT got the win.

Committee said this week that conf champ is not weighed anymore than the other factors, they said it will basically be used to settle a tie breaker if they feel both teams are equal. People putting a ton of weight on conf champs, when we had only 2 years of the playoff and only one example of it propelling someone.
And that team happened to be ohio state, aka $$$$$ to the inaugural playoff.

Yikes Michigan backup QB. How do you hold on to the ball that long when you know they are sending everyone after you and still take the sack.

A conference champion with a win over a potential top 10 team? Yeah I don't think so.
Versus a team with three wins over top 10 teams, another over a top 20 team, where two of those wins weren't even remotely close? Plus, in that scenario, they'd have a win over a conference champion in Wisconsin, and potentially another one in Oklahoma.

Pretty sure Sparty will beat PSU since it's a home game. Umosu will decide the division.
Sparty game is @ Penn St.

It'll be interesting to see. If it was still the BCS computer all the fatcats could just point to that & shrug. Now this
Sparty game is @ Penn St.
Thankfully, I can't take anymore.
I think so.Did adam overdose on peanut butter vodka halfway through the season or something?

he asked for his account to be deleted, he can come back whenever he wants.
and god damn my gators ;_; idk if we can hold on
Brent doesn't understand that LSU wants to score with no time left. Constantly complaining about LSU playing slow.
yea i don't get it, did Brent suffer a concussion? i normally don't associate him with being this dumb
