Cincy isn't out. Georgia and Bama have to play each other most likely, as do MSU and tOSU. One of those 4 will almost for sure drop below Cincinnati if they keep winning, if not 2 of them?

Then Oregon still has to win out, which, in light of their losing to someone as horrible as Stanford, is not likely.

1-loss UGA and MSU would both be ranked above Cincy.

Nebraska has not lost a single game by more than 8 points.

They lost to both Top Ten Michigan and #3 rated MSU by just 3 points. Now Top Ten Ohio St by 7, earlier to Top Ten Oklahoma by just 7 points, and Mn & Purdue by 5 and 7 pts. Their biggest loss was an 8 point road loss in Illinois.


So if you are going to judge tOSU for struggling vs the Huskers, you have to judge Michigan and MSU AND OKLAHOMA all by the same standard.
They are better than their record

According to FdF, uMN created the moral victory.
Yes we did in fact, in 1903, when we kept the Point A Minute Men of Michigan to just 6 points, ending the game in a tie. Minnesota was undefeated that year as was Michigan, but Michigan was declared National Champs while UMn was not, so our tying them was the invention of the "moral victory". ;)

lol

UGA, sure. But I doubt a 1 loss MSU would remain ranked ahead of Cincy, they're a B1G team remember, B1G teams NEVER benefit from bias like SEC teams do or some PAC teams or certain ACC teams.

Yeah, there's no way the committee would rank a 1-loss B1G team ahead of Cincy.

We weren't talking about OSU. Everyone's acknowledged that if OSU wins out they are in.

OSU ranks higher than undefeated MSU in the AP and Coaches poll. The cfp committe simply ranks MSU up were the AP and Coaches have OSU, and MSU will fall down to where the cfp has OSU, at best, but probably lower, if OSU beats them.

I hate to be the one to break this to you, but the committee gives 0 shits about the AP/Coaches Polls.
