If Penn State beats Wisconsin, should PSU get a playoff game?

Who thinks PSU should be ranked in the top 4 if they beat Wisconsin in the conference title game instead of Ohio State. PSU beat OSU this year.

I want to see Bama, Mich, OSU, and Clem. 4 best teams. Everyone else is static.

No. But it should knock OSU out of it, as a result.

...and if PSU beats Wisconsin? PSU = Speed this year. The Speed is beating the B10 teams this year. Just like with Iowa. PSU killed Iowa. Michigan got beat my Iowa and overtime for OSU to beat Iowa.

That wouldn't be fair to Urban Meyer. Just like it wouldn't have been fair to Nick Saban to keep him out of the 2011 championship game.

Explain how it is so much better. After the new polls tomorrow night OSU will 4-1 against current teams in the CFB top 25, assuming Nebraska stays ranked. It will include 3 wins against teams in the top 10. Penn State will be 2-1 and with a win Saturday 3-1 against CFB top 25 teams including 2 vs top 10 as well as one of them being OSU who they beat head to head. Yes PSU has two losses they were to UM a top 10 team and to a Pitt team who has also beaten Clemson. Not like they played App State. PSU would also have a Conference Championship. The CFB committee already sees PSU as top 10 team and it is not like they are UF praying they have a chance come Saturday.

Do I think PSU is a better team then OSU no but based on what the committee uses as criteria and previous precedence from the past few years if PSU is not considered a playoff team after a win on Saturday the committee is creating their own criteria each year and not being true to the selection process.

I thought last year OSU was the better team but yet OU got in without a conference CG and MSU because they won the Big 10 and beat OSU head to head during the season. The committee really got it wrong last year in my opinion but they cited their criteria in picking those 4. The deviate from it this year shows no consistency and that their own bias take precedence.

They'll disband the committee if PSU wins and OSU jumps them into the playoff. I will ask for a recount of the committee member votes if that happens.

I would like OSU to get left out. I'm wanting to re-live the drama of Meyer's 2009 fake health crisis.

I would say yes. Not over Ohio state but penn state would be deserving based on their work this season. I have ZERO problems with 2 from the same conference if they are deserving.
