Ohio State is done because they can't be Conference champion

mogelijk All-American

Additionally, their schedule was quite weak, other than playing Michigan and Michigan State. While I don't like Sagarin for this, just because it is the one we have available, their SoS is currently 61, about half that of ND and Oklahoma.

OU could win tomorrow and the following teams would make CCP ahead of them:

Iowa and MSU eliminate each other.

Obviously, but either, assuming they win out will get in over OU

i think OU would beat both, but i agree with this

Only 1 of them. Still 4 teams SHOULD finish ahead of OU.

I agree but the committee apparently doesn't re: ND

I don't see a way both Iowa and MSU make it in

Can Iowa and MSU both win out? Also, the committee already jumped OU ahead of ND. The Stanford and Okie Lite

Problem is the PAC champ isnt making it this time.

I think committee will debate a lot a 2-loss Stanford if they can handle top 5

Over 1 loss OU? I doubt it.

They may debate, but I don't see them putting a 2-loss PAC team in over a

I just don't see them reversing the ND jump. The Texas game was already out there and it didn't seem to affect them

Sagarin has SOS about even. 29th for ND and 32nd for OU

Too bad the committee doesn't use Sagarin

Ok.

So wins dont count unless your opponent finishes ranked? They must use SOME

You need to see all sides on this

You mean just the one side, where a bunch of specific & unlikely things happen.

Probably comes down to who looks more impressive tomorrow ND or OU

We all just need to be huge OSU fans tomorrow.

As the collective support of a message board will push the Cowboys to victory!

But does that just mean Oklahoma State makes the playoff?

I don't think so unless ND loses (which they could).

Which is why I think it is an interesting question

Any undefeated P5 conference champ would have to be included even over a royalty

Assume OU and ND both win and the committee needs to chose one team between them - there is no way the

Also, ND is hurt by their schedule

USC win probably better than any Big 12 win. The conference is a joke.

I think Ohio State could still be in that mix, if they win and MSU loses
