sorry, there is no way in hell Wisky would be in if they just lost to OSU...... their schedule is suspect enough..
Which is why I can't count Wisconsin as a quality win. That angle goes both ways. Also can't see Oklahoma out and Ohio State in. In some of these picks when Oklahoma blew Ohio stat out in Ohio

oh, and given that prick baker gayfield's planting the flag in OSU stadium, OSU's defense will be out for serious blood.....

What would be the odds of okla winning again over the same team......
Those odds would depend on which team you guys send. The one that beat Penn State/Mich State or the one that lost to Iowa. Big disparity in those odds.

I'm a fan of Gary Patterson and Sonny Cumbie, but I see no way in hell TCU has any chance to get in.

3/4 of that Penn St game was the same team that showed up vs OU and Iowa.

A lot of craziness would need to happen, but they would have avenged one of their 2 losses and won the conference title.

Yeah, I don't see TCU making it even with a win over Oklahoma this week. But I wouldn't say it's impossible. If a potential 2-loss SEC, Big Ten & maybe even Pac-12 champ can be considered then a 2-loss Big 12 Champ should at least be considered as well.

I don't think the Pac 12 title game has any bearing on the playoff anymore. Also, if TCU wins the Big 12 title, there won't be any Big 12 or Pac 12 teams in the playoff. Probably two SEC or two B1G teams. More than likely 2 SEC teams.

Is there a scenario where there are 2 ACC teams in? Miami wins the ACC title and Clemson still gets in? I can't see it but I figured I'd throw it out there.

This is doubtful but still more likely than the Big Ten getting in 2 teams. No way the Big Ten will get 2 in the playoffs.

I could see the committee considering Ohio State and Wisconsin over Miami AND Clemson. Both Clemson and Miami have embarrassing losses and one of them will have 2 losses. Ohio State, if they win, would have only 1 bad loss and a loss to a decent team and Wisconsin would have 1 loss to a conference champion. An argument could be made for 2 B1G teams.

I don't think Miami or Clemson will make it with a loss either. But the only way a conference gets two teams in is if it's the SEC, because I think at this point Alabama is the only non-conference champ that has a chance. No 2-loss team will make it if they're no even a conference champ so Wisconsin is the only other team that could be potentially non-conference champ and only 1-loss and they're not getting in over Alabama if they lose this week.

Any way a 3-loss Auburn team gets in over 1-loss Bama? Auburn does have victories over Bama AND Georgia. I'm sure that would cause extreme chaos amongst fans haha
No

Was that you guys being that bad or Penn State being good for three quarters?

No doubt about the 4th quarter of that game. In the 4th quarter it sure looked like Penn State was through but they weren't finished!

It was Ohio State being bad. Lots of turnovers, penalties, and special teams miscues killing Ohio State drives and either gifting PSU points or setting them up for points. Comeback was miraculous, but Ohio State had been moving the ball at will the whole game...just continually shot themselves in the foot.

I agree with this.

Bama fans will have to swallow hard and root for Auburn, Ohio State, and TCU to win.

The winner of the ACC is a lock, as is the winner of the SEC, but if Auburn wins the SEC it makes Bama's loss to them look better.

Additionally, there's at least a decent chance Bama gets in over 2-loss champs Ohio State or TCU. Getting OU and Wisky out of the picture really sets up nicely for Bama.
