Everyone in the top 6 won fairly decisively except FSU
- Thread starter SmellyTP
- Start date
Yep. Baylor needed to have won the WVU game and been undefeated for B12 to have a rep.
I think OSU gets left out. Looking forward to the meltdown on Facebook from all my classmates back in Ohio if that happens.
OSU is in the b1g, as are the hoks, so they already have 4 strikes against them. But to do what OSU just did to #13, with a 3rd-string quarterback, is amazing.
I don't think OSU should or will make it. Bad SOS+worst loss+starting QB out.
My guess rankings wise is:
1-Bama
2-Oregon
3-FSU
4-TCU
5-Baylor
6-OSU
Bama lost at top 15 Ole Miss, Oregon lost to top 10 Arizona, FSU is undefeated against a crap schedule playing only 4 ranked teams all year, TCU lost at top 10 Baylor, Baylor lost on the road to WVU, and OSU lost at home to unranked Virginia Tech

You have to take anything that happens with a BoneG East team vs. a BoneG West team with a grain of salt. It's like an SEC vs. MAC situation.
Like I said, #13 playing the BoneG West schedule. It's smoke and mirrors. What OSU beating WIsky with their 3rd string QB should be telling you is that Wisky is overrated and has one good running back that other crappy BoneG west teams can't stop but any team with a pulse can.
It's a factor in a top 4 game.
There's a big step up from 2nd best Big 10 team to 1st-4th best team in the country.
b1g is definitely the worst conference, no question. But I still think what OSU did is amazing. And I think the committee that chooses the playoff teams will look at that. Hopefully they will look at things in regard to conference toughness.
Yes when the committee sits down I'm sure they will all be looking at the amazement stat closely. Should push OSU over the top because they were top 5 in both amazing and best 3rd string qb's.
I do. Because I think it's hilarious when fans of terrible teams in a conference cling to the stature and achievements of other teams in their conference.
I don't get why so many people place so much weight on the last game of the season?
Full resume says TCU>Baylor>OSU. There's really not any question. Hell the only question really should be whether FSU should be penalized for barely getting through most of its games and be below one or more of these.

If Ohio State is picked, the fix is in. This is supposed to be the four best teams based on body of work. Not feel-good story of 3rd string QB beating an over rated WI team on last game of the year. It would mean the powers that be went with the name school from a bad conference that they can't afford to be irrelevant given the big TV markets it has.
FSU 29 straight wins and last year's national champs. Only unbeaten team this year. To leave them out would make a farce of the playoff.
