I'm guessing they mean if FSU loses. They would be the highest ranked ACC team and thus eligible for a spot in the Orange Bowl

I was at the one in '82, my freshman year at OSU. In fact, it was my first game as a student. The Buckeyes lost the first 3 games I saw as a student. After that I only saw 1 other loss (7-0 to MSU, I believe, in the rain) for the rest of my college career.

Assuming you were there four years that would be the November 1985 home debacle, a 12-7 loss to 4-6 Wisconsin. I was there, too.

Also if Louisville loses to FSU and still gets the Orange Bowl we'd be playing a 3 loss Louisville team on a 2 game losing streak. Fun!

Would much rather they sneak NC State in there instead at that point.

I'm going to hope FSU nips Louisville but gets bumped to 5th. OSU has never lost to Louisville or NC State and has never beaten FSU.

That probably won't happen, but short of falling into the CFP (doubtful) if it's the Orange give me 13-0 FSU (not likely, either).

FSU would definitely be the preferred matchup.

I know some will say it reeks of arrogance to say, but a 3 loss Louisville team stumbling into the game is just not a matchup anyone is going to get excited about.

I know NC State isn't the greatest either but at least they ended their season on a 5 game win streak, they are definitely a more worthy opponent IMO than a stumbling Louisville squad.
