Teams That Can Still Make The Playoff

^^^ if.......

GA
ND
OSU
Baylor

Bless your heart thinking Ohio State has any road to the playoff.

There's no pathway to the playoffs for OSU. Michigan and Oregon would have the same record (in terms of losses) and both beat OSU head to head.

Utah beat Oregon head to head yet ranks below them in almost every ranking. Oh yeah, Utah's got one more loss. Well then, how about Wisconsin and Minnesota? Same record, UMn won the head to head, but UW ranks ahead of UMn in EVERY ranking out there. Oh, UMn has that bad loss, so you are saying bad losses count? Then why the fuck does Oregon not get held accountable for their embarrassing loss to Stanford?

If you look at the CBS rankings that ranks all the teams, Stanford's ONLY win vs a Top 80 ranked team is their win vs Oregon. USC is ranked #81 and Vandy is ranked #122. Otherwise Stanford has lost what, 8 of their last 9 games, including losses to #86 Cali and #85 Washington, only 2 of their 9 losses were against a team who at least got votes in the AP & Coaches polls and those were not the only losses that were pummelings. That #86 Cali team beat them by 30. Stanford themselves are now ranked #94.

They do. They need help, but they do.

I wouldn't classify "meteor strike to four top 10 teams" as a reasonable definition of help.

of course its a long shot. but there actually is.......... sorry you are uninformed.

 

[rmilia1]

Imo only 9 teams still have a shot

Georgia is in regardless

Michigan
Cincy
Bama

All in with a win

OKST in with a win and a loss by Cincy, Bama or Michigan

ND in with 2 losses by Michigan and OKST

Baylor, Oregon and Iowa all need to win, have UGA blow out Bama and havd the other favorites lose. Even then only 2 of the 3 would get in

I cant see a path for anyone else

The playoff committee saw the two best teams you played push yalls shit in. It ain't happening, bro

Both the Sagarin and the Massey Ratings/Rankings disagree with you and rank OSU #3, ahead of Michigan still. But yeah, the Committee unfortunately is all that matters right now and they'd have to move up 3 spots without playing anyone, so UC needs to lose, Bama needs to lose and Michigan needs to lose, and Baylor needs to win as well, for OSU to have a shot, but it's not impossible.

Literally no one cares what the Sagarin and Massey computer rankings say.

And what you are forgetting are the teams that would jump them with a win. Baylor and Oregon at minimum. And I could even see Iowa jumping them. And I'm not remotely convinced that Bama would drop below them if they kept it close with Georgia.

Theres no way OSU is getting in. Theres nothing left to add to their resume. And the things they woulx need to happen in order to feel like theyd have a shkt would all include teams right behind them dramarically improving their own resumes. To be fair Bama SHOULD also 100% be out with a loss too but they are Bama and we all know how that works

Oregon's not going to beat Utah, lol. Are you kidding? Utah beat them 35-7 or something like that last time they met? Baylor has better odds of winning, but are they even ranked Top Ten? No Big 12 team has ranked very high this year. Beating each other proves nothing. OSU pummeled a Top Ten ranked team and only lost to Top Ten ranked teams.

And Iowa? Iowa couldn't beat Wisconsin or Purdue and got lucky to beat PSU. Was Minnesota their best win? lol

And Bama would need to keep it close, because they barely got by Auburn most recently and lost to A&M so their are excuses for dropping them in the rankings. Most likely Georgia's going to throttle Bama.

Iowa would definitely jimp them by finishing with a better record, a better win and a league title in OSUs own league

Baylor and Oregon will as well and OSU wont jump Michigan who just beat them either

If

UGA wins and the underdogs all win my guess is

UGA
ND
Baylor

4th spot really depends on how bad UGA beats Bama. If its close the committee will happily do a rematch

If its not close and UGA clobbers Bama the committee isnt going to give the Tide another shot so itd probably come down to Oregon or Iowa

Iowas resume would be better as theyd have the best win and better losses nut the committee could still pick Oregon based on eye test

The entire concept behind this is Baylor winning....

Oregon? Eye test? Their getting pummeled by 3 loss Utah 35-7 pleased their eyes? Being the only team ranked among the Top 80 in the nation to lose to Stanford, pleased their eyes? lol The Sagarin has Oregon ranked #17, the Massey Rating has them #16, I'm sure there are other rankings/ratings that have them similarly ranked, or worse. The AP and Coaches polls that don't matter have them ranked #10, but this is before they play Utah again, lol.

Who are these people who think the eye test helps Oregon? People who ONLY watched their one game vs OSU? Back when OSU was still breaking in many of it's young players?

Comped to Iowa? Its possible. The only 2 loss team with a shot to get in without a conference title is Bama and even that really shouldnt be the case so upsets this weekend could lead to craziness

Haha! You’re a funny guy. Whether it’s sports or politics, you’re a K Pop level Fan Boi.

You’re trying to use reason and logic to convince a Fan Boi. You’re wasting your time.

 

[dtgold88]

They do. They need help, but they do.

I think we did if Auburn beat Bama but bama winning that game ended any chance.

 

[HuskerOC]

Absolutely hilarious to me that when the rankings roll out early, people are adamant about 4 to 6 teams that will absolutely be in the playoff, and everybody else sucks.

Now, on the eve of CFP bid weekend, we have people making claims that upwards to 9 have a shot to make the CFP.

UGA
Cincy
Michigan

IN.

Can Bama beat UGA they are in, and we have our 4? If not, Okie State is in if they win, if not, Notre Dame is in. Bama keeps it close, they may even still be in over Okie Lite and/or Notre Dame.

Those are the 6 teams. Nobody else is getting in barring a miracle.

 

[Shanemansj13]

OK. Who's in if the following happens......... The underdog in all of those games is very possible.

GA beats bama.
Houston beats Cincy.
Iowa beats scUM.
Baylor beats Okla St.

^^^ if.......

GA
ND
OSU
Baylor

Even if Bama were to lose to GA, they would probably still take Bama over Ohio St bc they made it to the CCG, if it's close...they definitely would be in over Ohio St.
Cincy would be out of the conversation w/ a loss.
scUM would be in over Ohio St in any case bc they have head-to-head.
Also, Baylor likely jumps Ohio St with a CCG win. Okie St/Baylor win is in over Ohio St.

That is just way too many teams with 2 losses over Ohio St.

GA, scUM and ND are already shoe-in's over Ohio St. That leaves one spot for Okie St/Baylor. Even then Bama would probably be in over Baylor and Ohio St. Too many teams. We are in Ole Miss' situation...no CCG, no chance bc of head-to-head's or the lack of appearance in CCG.

Honestly, not really disappointed. The youngest Ohio St team in a very long time...they weren't winning it all anyway. They will be much better next season.

IT'S OVER.
