So after all that shake up this weekend, only 1 team that lost really lost.. 1. Alabama 2. Ohio State 3. Michigan 4. Clemson Washington fell to 6 which is still with in striking distance. LSU jumped up 8 spots to 16, they basically traded spots with Texas A&M LOL

The SEC would never go for that, they are too busy scheduling FCS opponents to end their seasons

Ohio State was one of the top 4 teams last year in my opinion but were left out. They were definitely a better team than Michigan State, they just had a real shitty day at the office, similar to the PSU game this year.

I think if Michigan had won against Iowa, both they and Ohio State would've gotten in. You'd have a Bama/Michigan match up and an Ohio State/Clemson game in the semi's. Could've ultimately set up a NC rematch between Michigan and Ohio State which would've been ratings through the roof.

If I were on the committee my playoff teams would be 1. Bama 2. Ohio State 3. Clemson 4. Wisconsin (if they beat PSU)

There's no arguing against the fact that OSU is a top 4 team in terms of on the field play against good competition. The argument is are they are top 4 team for the playoff and if conference championships mean nothing, then why even have them? A team could be undefeated in their conference, lose their conference championship game and be eliminated from the playoff. That doesn't seem very fair to me...

"5 losses in 5 years and Urban may only win the BIG once in that time" Stop and think about that for a second... Michigan State has ruined OSU twice, maybe they will help OSU this year and beat PSU.

I saw somewhere that ESPN has OSU's SOS in the 40s which made me laugh a little. "The graphic on ESPN comparing our schedule strength with Washington showed our SoS as 42nd in the nation. Now, I have no problem with Washington ahead right now in playoff rankings, they have looked good and it will take care of itself. But seriously, 42?!?" Others have OSU as high as 5 and as low as 23 The conference championship statement had nothing to do with SOS, it had everything to do with OSU playing an extra game while the B12 sat at home without a conference championship game. If we're going of SOS and conference champions, Penn State is in with a win lol. They are #4 in SOS on one of the pages. Pretty good article regarding the mess that is the playoff http://www.foxsports.com/college-football/story/ohio-state-s-college-football-playoff-odds-after-michigan-s-loss-111316 "Could Ohio State slip into the college football playoff without winning the conference title? One thing that the playoff committee really values is conference championships." It's a very interesting situation, one that is going to leave someone really mad and arguing that their team should've been in the mix

I'm not on the committee, but if they have shown anything it's that they put value in to conference championships. They are also the same committee that put Texas A&M #4 for shock value in my opinion. I have a feeling OSU could be used the same way. I would not be shocked to see OSU #4 in playoff rankings tomorrow night, putting them right in line to be knocked out after the conference championships are played. I believe they have a committee in place, in case a scenario would arise where you have all power 5 conferences with undefeated teams. I also think it is to appease those who bitched about the BCS which I was not against honestly. I think only once or twice maybe, did that system really fail. I totally agree that this year has proven that the playoff needed to be 8 teams to begin with. I argued that from day 1. If the season were to end right now (using AP Poll) these are the match up's we'd have in playoffs 1. Alabama vs 8. Oklahoma 2. Ohio State vs 7. Washington 3. Louisville vs 6 Wisconsin 4. Clemson vs 5. Michigan For what it's worth, I believe OSU is a top 4 team in the country. I just think the committee fucked up 2 years ago when they gave their reasoning for why the B12 was left out. I am not confident that they will go back on their reasoning two years later and have a bad look from the public and college football world. Expand to 8 and this whole argument goes out the window

They had a champion, in fact they had 2 LOL. Ohio State will have absolutely no claim to a championship at all. That in the eyes of the committee is better than sharing the title? We shall see what happens in a few weeks, for now it makes great debates. Pick time!! #6 Louisville vs Houston #20 Washington State vs #12 Colorado #2 Ohio State vs Michigan State (I think this is a little closer than it should be due to shitty weather forecast) #8 Oklahoma vs #10 West Virginia (Shootout game)

The best case scenarios for Ohio State are as follows OSU wins out, eliminating Michigan Houston beats Louisville, thus eliminating Louisville Wisconsin beats Penn State in B10 Championship game (OSU beat Wisky, makes em look better) Oklahoma beats West Virginia, B12 with a 2 loss champion, eliminated Washington State beats Washington, Pac12 with a 2 loss champion, eliminated If all of the above were to happen, i could realistically see the B10 getting 2 teams in. The winner of the conference championship game and OSU. Outside of that scenario, I don't see how it'll work out in OSU's favor.

Here ya go: "Ohio State's performance in a 13th game gave them a quality win over a highly ranked team," said committee chairman Jeff Long on ESPN. Long on Big 12: "We were presented with co champions. In the other situations, we had definitive champions for that conference." From 2014, so now the committee is to go back, look like complete assholes and argue that OSU who didn't even win their division, let alone conference, is in over a conference champion, why? Quality loss and a resume of 12 games? I am one of the biggest OSU homers there is, but I have a real hard time justifying this outside of anything but tv ratings. SEC, ACC, B10, ACC all have conference championship games. 3 of those conferences are a shoe in to make the playoff. The B10 is the clusterfuck, you will have a 2 loss champion with a 1 loss "3rd place" team sitting at home whether that be Ohio State or Michigan. You now have to justify putting that team in ahead of the winner of the conference and another conference champion. That doesn't even count another 1 loss team such as Louisville who is sitting there making the same case as the 1 loss B10 school. Here's who the top 8 have left and some chaos may ensue Alabama: Chattanooga, Auburn, SEC Championship Game (my guess is LSU) Ohio State: @Michigan St, Michigan, B10 Championship Game (only if PSU loses) Louisville: @Houston, Kentucky (I think they lose 1 of these 2) ELIMINATED Michigan: Indiana, @Ohio State (I think they lose to Ohio State) ELIMINATED Clemson: @Wake Forest, South Carolina, ACC Championship (most likely against Va Tech) Wisconsin: @Purdue, Minnesota (B10 CCG) assuming they don't lose Washington: Arizona St, @Washington St (I think they lose this one) ELIMINATED Oklahoma: @West Virginia, Oklahoma State Penn State: @Rutgers, Michigan State, B10 CCG (I think PSU wins out regular season) West Virginia: Oklahoma, @Iowa State, Baylor (I think they lose to Oklahoma) ELIMINATED

There may bot be anything "written" but it was tye committees argument 2 years ago against the b12.

Dont sleep on West Virginia. They would be a 1 loss conference champion and having beat a comkon opponent of OSU in Oklahoma

As much as it pains me to say this, i have the same thought process as Lauren on this. Itll be hard to argue OSU should be in as a non conference champion. However, the seasons not over so more chaos and shakeup will ensue

I think Wisconsin would beat them. The way it's looking right now, the best conference in college football all year long is going to have a 2 loss champion, let that sink in for a second

Didn't TCU and Baylor win with style points 2 years ago? The committee fucked themselves by stating that conference championships were weighed heavily. Now if the committee states that the playoff is top 4 teams regardless of championships, then yeah OSU is in.

OSU is ranked 5th, will most likely be 2nd on Tuesday. However, there's a shit ton of football and arguments left to be had. Penn State wins out, wins the B10 championship game. Are they out of the playoff? Bama wins out regular season, loses to SEC East champ in SEC CG, is Bama out? WVU beats Oklahoma and wins out, they are 1 loss B12 champ, are they in? Washington wins out and is a 1 loss Pac12 champ, are they in? Clemson wins out and is a 1 loss ACC champ, are they in? Basically, does a resume get you in or does a conference championship?

Yeah....so shit just got very interesting. Penn State has Rutgers and Michigan St to finish the season. I am now the biggest MSU fan out there, well after next weekend.

The fact that in 1985 Harbaugh was the qb for then #2 Michigan, and lose to Iowa by 2 points on a field goal is crazy. I love when history ties in/repeats its self in sports.

Michigans play calling wasn't much better. Iowa still has time to get a game winning field goal here.

So 2 and 4 are out, #8 Texas A&M is going to lose, #9 Auburn went down and Michigan isn't out of the water just yet...what a crazy day of football.

I don't believe so, HIPPA usually gets involved if you name names. At least that's what I was taught in nusring school So right now, I am anti Iowa. Michigan does not look very good and if they lose OSU is in a pickle...

We have a friend who is a nurse at Grant, she was at the house tonight giving my wife her allergy shots and discussing a guy who lost his leg last night (no name mentioned). I mentioned a former nfl player who was in critical condition here in Columbus, but not until now did I put 2 and 2 together. Oh yeah, Clemson pulled a Clemon finally and Washington is going to go down and hopefully Louisville loses to Houston. The playoff will be an absolute train wreck and I love it. You could realistically see OSU/Michigan both in the playoff along with Oklahoma LOL

I feel like that dude had to of filmed all of his videos in the same day as his attire never changes lol. Some of them are funny, others are just a large man yelling for no real reason
