Who are we rooting for ? I have seen scenarios for us with both winning being optimal ? Which is it ?
Is a 2 loss OSU really out ?
I'd think so. Not winning the Big 10 would hurt along with two losses.Is a 2 loss OSU really out ?
I think so. The CFP people like to say how important it is for you to win your conference. A two loss OSU isn't a conference champion.Is a 2 loss OSU really out ?
OSU can't even win their division of the BIG Integer unless PSU also loses to MSU.I think so. The CFP people like to say how important it is for you to win your conference. A two loss OSU isn't a conference champion.
Yes. Without a doubt. Michigan, Alabama, Clemson and Washington would all go if they win out. I'd say Colorado and Oklahoma are next at the 4th seed if they win out. I think Colorado would get in over OU because of the championship game.Is a 2 loss OSU really out ?
I think it also matters when you lose. 2 losses in the final weeks of the season looks a lot worse than two losses early and a streak of wins in the end...Probably depends on how badly they get beat, but I believe it drops them out of the top 4.
Michigan.
Michigan winning out eliminates 3 Big 10 contenders (OSU, Penn State, and Wiscy)
Yup that would be the best scenario because it would take OSU out of the CFB mix. It would also be ok if OSU wins but only if PSU also loses but that's not likely. If OSU goes 11-1 and doesn't win the B10 then they are still going to very much in the mix for a CFB spot.
But all that aside I think OSU will beat Michigan by at least 2 TD's.
Iowa
Best case scenario:
3-loss Wisconsin gives Michigan a 2nd loss in the B1G Championship.
4-loss VA Tech gives a 2-loss Clemson its 3rd loss in the ACC Championship.
3-loss Florida gives Alabama a 2nd loss in the SEC Championship.
Oklahoma State beats Oklahoma, while WVU loses its final 2 to make the Big 12 complete dog****.
Colorado blows out Utah and Washington to claim the Pac-12 Championship.
Colorado goes into the Playoff as the 1-seed.
