Just looking at the teams that are ahead of OSU right now...

#1 MSU: Lost to Bama tonight, signature wins against a [Mark May] LSU, [Mark May] Texas A&M , Not that good Auburn, and have ole miss left to play, potentially SEC title game

#2 Oregon: Idle tonight, signature wins against Mich ST, UCLA, and Utah, which are all pretty good teams, loss against Arizona, and have rival Oregon St, and Pac12 title game

#3 Freeshoes: Getting spanked by Miami, signature wins against a [Mark May] ND, [Mark May] Clemson, and [Mark May] Louisville, struggled all year,

#4 TCU: Barely beat a 3-7 Kansas team today, signature wins against [Mark May] Oklahoma, [Mark May] Oklahoma State, [Mark May] WV, Kansas state, loss against Baylor, has no one left on schedule and no conference title game

#5 Alabama: Beat MSU tonight, signature wins against MSU, [Mark May] LSU, and [Mark May] Texas A&M, loss against Ole Miss, have Auburn left, potentially SEC title game

#6 Arizona State: Play Oregon State later tonight, signature wins against USC, Utah, [Mark May] Stanford, [Mark May] ND, boatraced by UCLA, have Arizona left, potentially Pac12 title game

#7 Baylor: Idle tonight, signature wins against TCU, [Mark May] Oklahoma State, lost to West Virgina, have Kansas State left to play, no conference title game


At this point in time, I would have no problem with Oregon, and Alabama ahead of OSU, but every other team is no more deserving. I wouldn't be surprised if OSU moves up a little in the polls this week, and if they win out, I see them in the playoff easily.

I don't think Ohio State gets in unless everyone else has two losses. I think they get shut out at#5. If FSU loses tonight, you still have Baylor, ASU, Alabama, TCU, Oregon, and (likely) MSU ahead of Ohio State. ASU and Oregon play, so one of them is out, likely ASU.

That leaves Alabama (probably the best team in the country IMO), Oregon, TCU, Baylor, and (likely) MSU. TCU should be out if Baylor is in, because we should have no rematches in the final four unless everyone else has an insane number of losses. Same for Mississippi State. That being said, I think both Big 12 teams get in before Ohio State. And all this is assuming that FSU loses, which is looking less and less likely as the night goes on.
