Teams Ohio State Needs to Lose

Wrong glass, Sir.
Going into last weekend we were ranked 16th, with Utah at 17. Assuming that holds, and Ohio State would be the last 1-loss team into the playoff (excluding Duke and ECU), we need 13 of the existing 1-loss teams to lose a game (or FSU/MSU to lose two).

  1. MSU (potential losses: Ole Miss, Alabama)
  2. FSU (potential losses: none)
  3. Auburn (potential losses: UGA, Alabama)
  4. Ole Miss
  5. Oregon (potential losses: Utah)
  6. Alabama (LSU, MSU, Auburn)
  7. TCU (potential losses: KSU)
  8. Sparty (need to beat them and then have them win out)
  9. KSU (potential losses: WVU, Baylor)
  10. Domers (potential losses: ASU, Louisville, USC)
  11. UGA
  12. Arizona
  13. Baylor (potential losses: Oklahoma, KSU)
  14. ASU (potential losses: Domers, Arizona)
  15. Corn (need them to win until we play them in BCG)
  16. OHIO STATE
  17. Utah
So, 4 picked up their second loss this weekend.
2 Ohio State can deal with directly
1 FSU is highly unlikely to lose again.

That leaves 9 teams on the board for the last two spots (assuming FSU is in), so we need 7 of those teams to pick up a loss.

Lotta ins and outs to this playoff picture; lotta strands in ol' Duder's head. Fortunately, I'm keeping my mind limber with a strict drug regimen.

These are the clear, unconflicted rooting interests for next weekend. Not listing games with little or no chance of coming through: i.e. aggy @ Auburn.
  • KSU over TCU (this is a must since it's TCU's only challenge left on their schedule whereas KSU has WVU and Baylor to go)
  • LSU over Alabama
  • Utah over Oregon (slim chance, but I'll put it on the board)
  • Oklahoma over Baylor

Games where it doesn't matter since both teams need to lose and still have challenges on schedule
  • Domers/ASU
Other teams we need to lose are playing patsies, including the usual SEC bullshit of playing FCS teams at the critical juncture of the season (Presbyterian @ Ole Miss and Tennessee-Martin @ MSU)

Very good possibility Irish lose this week in Tempe. Just found out that MLB Joe Schmidt for the Irish dislocated his ankle last night and is done for the season. Great kid, former walk-on that earned a scholarship, he basically organized the front seven and was the QB of the defense. Jarrett Grace from Cinci was one of our MLB's last season, but he broke his leg last year against ASU and still isn't ready to go. We saw a lot of miscommunication and blown assignments late against Navy once Schmidt was out, there will likely be more against a decent ASU team next Saturday.

I'd like to see Missouri win out and win the SEC CCG. Then Missouri, FSU, and some SEC West team would make it in, along with 1 other team: Notre Dame, Oregon, someone. Just keep the Big Ten out. And it would be beautiful if it was a big controversy; maybe Ohio State is ranked 4th (AP) but gets snubbed. Or a team ranked lower in the AP gets in before Ohio State. Or a 2-loss team gets in instead of Ohio State. Then Ohio State goes into the bowl game (whichever one that is) and wins 70-7.

If a 2-loss SEC West team gets in over a 1-loss conference champion OSU, Sparty or Corn, Delaney had better go to the mattresses. Scorched fucking earth. Crush his enemies, drive them before him and fucking hear the lamentations of their god damned their women.

After grabbing his ankles over both a conference champion rule and home field, he had damned well better redeem himself or find a basement to hide his sorry ass.

Why do you people want to see the Buckeyes in the final four? To see them get slaughtered and perpetuate the idea that we're overrated?

We should be GRATEFUL that the committee ranked us as low as they did. They're doing us a favor.

Of course, none of this will matter by the end of the week, since the Bucks are going to lose to the Spartans, but still.

Never gonna happen. The Big Ten as a football conference is more likely to go the way of the Big East than Delaney to stand up for it like that...

Even if chaos does occur, I don't think Ohio State will get in. Other teams are getting a pass for losses against clearly inferior opponents, but no one is giving Ohio State said pass for having a freshman starting his 2nd game ever. Just the way it is.

I'll probably watch whatever glorified exhibition Ohio State lands in during bowl season, but I can't say I'll watch any of the other bowl games. No real interest anymore.
