Right, so let's just hope the fucktards lose every game left on their schedule and stop hoping they win the fucking B1G.

Current playoff rankings:
| 1 | Alabama |
| 2 | Ohio State |
| 3 | Michigan |
| 4 | Clemson |
| 5 | Louisville |
| 6 | Washington |
| 7 | Wisconsin |
| 8 | Penn State |
| 9 | Oklahoma |
| 10 | Colorado |
Clemson won't jump us even if they're ACC champions because their loss (43-42 at home against unranked Pitt) is significantly worse and more recent than our loss.
Louisville gets left out even if they finish 11-1, because they lost to Clemson and has close wins against Virginia and Wake Forest (a game they trailed 12-10 at home going into the fourth quarter). This is of course provided Clemson wins the ACC CCG.
No way Washington jumps us after the way they got pushed around at home by a 3-loss USC team, even if the Huskies win their conference. Their loss in way worse than ours.
Wisconsin won't jump us even if they win the conference, because they have two losses and lost to us, at home.
Same for the Pedsters even if they win the conference, because they also have two losses with one of them being a 30+ point beat down, even if it was to the #3 team. And even though they did win the head-to-head, it was a game in which they were dominated save the blocked FG for the TD.
Oklahoma is an absolute non-factor to jump us since we curb-stomped them at their place and they also lost to an overrated Houston team.
Colorado isn't even worth mentioning.
We win out, we're in, and if we win impressively, we'll stay at #2.

The bold is bold because it's brazenly bold. A 2 year window gives you special insight into a rotating committee that you guarantee?
Pessimism is the easiest human reaction. It takes less work. I'm guessing (see no guarantee because I have no insight) that the team and staff are working their collective assess off to win the last 2 regular season games as best they can to become involved into the playoffs, just in case your guarantee falls through.

Of course they'd like to have champions. They stated on the record that they weigh it equally with other factors.
The reality is that people are quoting sample sizes of 2 from wildly different playoff races.

Look, it is true that in two years the committee has only selected conference Champions.
However , what is also true is that the committee has never selected a team with two losses. Nor has a one loss team "jumped" an undefeated team.
Further, the only power 5 teams with one loss who were not selected in 2014 were Baylor and TCU .
The only such teams not selected in 2015 were OSU and Iowa - both of whom were beaten by, and had the same record as, the conference champ.
And finally the only difference between the committee's picks and final regular season polls in two years that in one of the 2014 polls Baylor was ranked ahead of OSU.
There is simply no evidence to suggest the committee will do anything like what is suggested in the above post or similar posts many are making.

If they are having a tough time in their lives it's because Joesus wishes it to be so.
He created Happy Valley to test the faithful.

One of the reasons they even instituted the playoff was to make it more difficult to play for a NC without winning the conference.

I believe they made the playoff because the general consensus was that "everybody" wanted one. Didn't have anything to do with conference championships.
