If we do make it in, we better win or we'll never hear the end of it.

Just add your numbers to the Do Not Call lists.

The Ohio State University never hears the end of it regardless ie the 'Canes are still crying about 2002. TCU and Baylor are still crying re: last year. yadda yadda yadda etc. etc.

Haters gonna hate!

Oh the irony if the Gators, UFM former team, defeats 'Bama opening the door for the Buckeyes !@#$%^&*

It could happen! ~ Judy Tenuta ... ok, ok, at least Florida has a better chance than the Charleston Southern Buccaneers!

Since the Buckeyes don't play tomorrow, just sit back and relax watching the chaos or lack thereof. And if by some miracle they get in, they'll have one less game against a quality opponent ie less wear and tear like Oklahoma.

Indeed, The Big 12 er little 10 should be disqualified. I digress.

So we can win by default?

The two sweetest words in the English language.

I applaud you.

Well that's interesting, because three teams are going to go that won't win it all.

Don't care about the rest of them.

Everything that has been said so far basically seems to be setting themselves up to move OSU into the top 4 with multiple options for reasons to do so, possibly regardless of what happens Saturday, the more that I hear.

I happen to think OSU is one of the top 4 teams in the nation, and, quite frankly, I don't even think it's even a question. That said, I have a hard time believing the committee would put OSU in the top 4 if Clemson and Alabama win tomorrow.

Who cares? Believe me, I hear a lot of stuff about how Bama (and the SEC) are perpetually overrated. Titles are all that matters. Bowl games don't matter. Talk doesn't matter. It's all about the National Championship.

I don't think there's any way, they certainly wouldn't be able to justify it. Who gets left out? Its not gonna be Sparty/Iowa, not gonna be an undefeated Clemson

That leaves OU and Bama

Unless they want to make a cut throat statement to the Big 12 and leave OU out (which would lead to great comedy) don't see how it happens.

How do you think Bama is guaranteed? Whole body of work, I'm pretty sure we have Bama beat on that.

One loss conference champion of the SEC still holds a lot of weight.

The SEC is mediocre this year but there is still no way a 1 loss Bama gets left out. One would hope the SEC does not get as much assumed respect next year to start the season.

 

[EidoloN]

I hear you, but over a 1 loss Buckeye team? At what point does a team name alone get you in the playoff? If Clemson loses, do we get in? I think that is the crazy question.

 

[Jaxbuck]

They are already ahead of OSU and were even before OSU lost.

Other than a loss this weekend (which would eliminate them and the SEC) what would make the CFP committee change it's mind?

One loss Ohio State who didn't reach their conference championship game versus one loss Alabama, SEC champs. I think you're kidding yourself if you believe we'd get in over them, and to be honest I think winning your conference should count for something. OSU lost the worst possible game on the schedule, unfortunately.

Well, second worst possible loss.
