Was so much worse live. The kid was on the ground obviously injured for a good 20 seconds before he kicked his head.

Oh I get it, but the two teams that are involved in this hypothetical are 12-1 Washington and the champion of the conference you reside in who is 11-2. Not saying they wouldn't get in over those two teams, I just don't see it as a slam dunk. Maybe if Colorado can beat Washington that helps?

If Colorado wins the Pac-12, that actually makes a good case for Michigan to be in the playoff. Between OSU and UM, you've got a 3-1 combined record over the B1G CCG participants, and Ws against the presumptive BIG XII and Pac-12 champs.

OHIO STATE IS 11-1 BUT WON'T PLAY IN THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONSHIP; WHAT'S NEXT?

77183_h.jpg,qitok=qABjVxc5.pagespeed.ce.s9B-EaE3WF.jpg


The exact date of Ohio State's next game will not be determined for a little while..

Even after a thrilling 30-27 double overtime win against archrival Michigan on Saturday, the Buckeyes will not be in Indianapolis at the Big Ten Championship Game despite an 8-1 league record. Ohio State clinched a share of the East Division win the win over the Wolverines but lost on a tiebreaker.

Penn State beat Michigan State 45-12 on Saturday to finish the regular season 10-2 and 8-1 in the Big Ten. It's 24-21 victory over the Buckeyes on Oct. 22 means James Franklin's team will face off against Wisconsin on Saturday night at Lucas Oil Stadium for Big Ten supremacy.

The Badgers punched their ticket to Indianapolis on Friday when Iowa thumped Nebraska, 40-10. Wisconsin beat Minnesota 31-17 on Saturday afternoon to win the West Division outright.

So what does this mean for Urban Meyer's team? He is 61-5 in five seasons at Ohio State and has one Big Ten championship to show for it. His current team's résumé, however, is among the nation's best.

Ohio State has victories over three of the current top-8 teams in the rankings—at No. 6 and West Division champ Wisconsin, at No. 8 Oklahoma and on Saturday against No. 3 Michigan in Columbus.

“I don't know. I don't know. I think we're one of the top teams in the country,” Meyer said on Saturday. “Once again, I don't really know that. I go week to week, and I love my players.”

Can scUM still get into the playoffs? Consider the following scenario:

Colorado defeats Washington (stretch)
Wisconsin defeats PSU (likely)
VT defeats Clemson (very unlikely, but hoping for it)

scUM has already defeated Wisconsin and PSU. Washington and Clemson are likely out. Can they have two teams from the B1G in the playoffs still?

Yes. Depending on how the committee views them vs Oklahoma

I think if Washington loses, there is now way you keep two big ten teams out. They will be Wiscy/PSU and OSU. I don't see any other way.

One thing I'm starting to wonder is just how good Alabama is. That defense is legit, no doubt, but the SEC is awful this year. Who have they really beaten? A USC team that switched QBs? A 7-4 LSU team? Whatever dumpster fire the SEC East [Mark May]s out?

That's a good point, but Bama has the second hardest schedule according to SoS.

Warning: I'm about to sound cocky.

Bama has a history of "breaking" teams. There have been several times in the Saban era that Bama has played and beaten a highly ranked team, and from then on, their season has fallen apart. His intense preparation often leads to a terrific gameplan, which is then in view to the rest of the teams on the opponent's schedule. It's pretty uncanny really.

If you will remember back to 2014, I was very nervous about cArdale because there wasn't any tape in him for the coaches to view.

Cockiness off.

Still lots of questions about the bama offense, but they looked decent putting up over 500 yds on a stout defense today.

The only questions about the playoff reside in the big10. Anybody else wins their conference and they are in.
