I don't think the B1G Championship winner matters TOO much, but I think MSU winning gives us the better shot at #4.

Clemson gets in regardless of the outcome of the ACC Championship, IMO. Unless UNC beats them by 30, they'll either be at undefeated #1 or 1-loss #4.

Oklahoma is in. Period. Could be anywhere from #1-#3, but they're in.

So what we're really banking on here is Florida, the team that just put up 2pts vs Florida State beating Bama.

Could you imagine, though?

Talking head types are already laying the groundwork for Clemson not getting in if they don't beat UNC

That is by far our best odds at a playoff berth (UNC beating Clemson)

My wildly inaccurate assumptions last year seemed logical to me, but we got in and we won. That's all that I would like to see.

UNC beating Clemson sure does theoretically set up some really awesome matchups, however.

#1 Bama v #4 Ohio State
#2 Oklahoma v #3 Michigan State

exactly

I don't think for a second they would pass up that kind of action for fucking Clemson or UNC

Fortunately life is not fair and in this case it isn't fair in our favor.

All the $ will want to see the Buckeyes and Urban Meyer match up with either Saban or Clemson with a nice revenge theme.

We are going to jump Chokelahoma before they get the chance to be pasted 55-6 in the playoffs.

Shit, that'd be a tv advertising wet dream. Rematch between Meyer and Saban. Dantonio and Big Game Bob. All 4 teams are power teams including Okie this year since they've started running the ball.

With us jumping Oklahoma, who got beat by Texas, it would be like this.

#1 Clemson vs #4 Ohio State - paybacks for the last bowl game we played and paybacks for Woody
#2 Alabama vs #3 MSU - What a great matchup. Saban used to coach MSU too. Two great D's. Game would be over in two hours flat with all that ball control.

That sells better than Oklahoma in the mix.

I'm not buying the North Carolina over Ohio State argument. *assuming wins by UNC and Sparty. They will have lost to a team with a losing record (3-9) and our loss will be to a playoff team (with wins over highly respected Iowa, OSU, and TSUN)
