It could easily shake out with 3 11-1 teams in the big 12 and the acc at the end of the regular season. Last year shows that the CC games are for seeding not knocking teams out. Only way someone gets knocked out in the CCG is GT if they lose to Georgia and then it’s an 11-2 GT being compared to a 10-2 Georgia for the spot.

B12: Houston likely to win out and go 11-1. If TTech beats BYU then they both are likely go 11-1. Cinci would take BYUs spot if they win that game. So most likely seems to be 2 or 3 teams in.

ACC feels a little closer. The teams at the top of the league are about to start beating up on each other. There best shot is UVA and Tech going to the title game at 11-1 or better both making it and Miami also finishing 11-1. Then all 3 would make it. There isn’t really a margin for error and there are some tough games that could cause some upsets. I bet they get 2.

I’d bet 4 spots end up going to those 2 conferences. 3 to big ten. ND plus G5 leaves us with 3 for sec. If there end up being 3 from one of those 2 then I’d imagine it results in ND missing out. Best case scenario for sec feels like 4 teams with the acc collapse or it being a Aggie vs ND comparison for the last spot.

Pitt is probably the only team that can knock ND out. Navy is currently undefeated but they were as well last year when they played and ND beat them 51-14 so not much faith there. Their other opponents are Boston College Syracuse and Stanford who all suck. Pitt has a BYE before the game and ND has to deal with the Mickey mouse Navy offense the week before so should be interesting

As @Jaxbuck mentioned Pitt could really cause some real havoc. They play Ga Tech and Cryami in their last 2 games as well

big 12 could very well end up with 2 11-1 or a 12-0 and 11-1 team in their title game. Would be interesting to see how they treated that. Would they leave a team who took their 2nd loss in the conference title game out for some mediocre SEC team like Tennessee Missouri or Vanderbilt? Good odds they'd at least heavily consider it.

Why the Ohio State football team shouldn't worry about Penn State

The Ohio State football team's toughest game on paper is the Penn State game. Here's why they shouldn't worry about it.

The Ohio State football team will play Penn State for the final time this year for quite a while. This will be the last time that these two meet in the regular season until 2028. The Buckeyes were able to beat the Nittany Lions on the road last season despite a slow start.

Ohio State continues to dominate Penn State while James Franklin leads the Nittany Lions. He is just 1-10 against the Ohio State Buckeyes in his career. The only win happened in 2016, and Ohio State still made the College Football Playoff over Penn State.

This year, the game is in Columbus. While it is the toughest game on paper they will play this year, it's a game that they shouldn't worry about too much. They continue to have Penn State's number. Until James Franklin can prove that he can beat the Buckeyes, they don't need to worry.

The Ohio State football team shouldn't worry too much about Penn State

Just because the Buckeyes don't need to worry too much about the Nittany Lions doesn't mean that they don't need to prepare for that game. Penn State is still a good team, so Ohio State has to take the game seriously. They can't just waltz in and expect to win the game.

Even though Franklin hasn't proven that he can beat Ohio State, there is always a first time for things like this. Ryan Day will make sure that his team is prepared enough to not let that happen, and the crowd should be able to keep the momentum in the favor of the Buckeyes enough to keep that from happening.

Game Thread Penn State at tOSU, Sat. Nov. 1st, 12pm ET, FOX

I know the Pesters are in the dumps but damn that's a high spread. There's always some fuckshit that keeps these games close no matter the teams.
Think of an amount of money that would be uncomfortable to lose.

Now imagine that all that was between you and that loss is a backup QB, an interim HC and 21 points against Ohio State in Columbus.

I’ve often found that to be a good way to cut through the emotional muscle memory. How much do I really believe in it if I’m backing the other team? And how much is just the usual fan stuff of projecting our fear?
