I said this before OSU played Mich. St. If OSU wins out, they are in the playoff.
I agree that OSU should probably be in over TCU or Baylor. To me their defense and overall talent puts them in a tier above Baylor or TCU. Plus their schedule starts to look a little better after the Wisconsin game.
Will be very interested to see how the committee handles it. There will have to be a heavy "eye-test" component to get them up that high, and I'm not sure whether or not the committee will want to set that precedent. (maybe they will though, given how they keep dropping FSU)
Don't think I buy them over 1-loss MSU though. But hopefully ole miss will take care of business and you wont have to worry about that. (unless you were talking about Michigan St? Have no idea how they could get in)
It's not their fault, but OSU really needs PSU and Michigan to get back up to a respectable caliber fast if they want to have a consistent chance to make it in the playoffs after non-undefeated seasons

Agree, I actually think OSU > TCU & Baylor. The more you look at TCU and Baylor's schedule the more you see that their only Top 30ish games are against eachother, Oklahoma, Kansas State and borderline West Virginia. The Big XII is really not very good this year and the bottom of the league is dreadful. Almost half the conference is just awful (Kansas, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Oklahoma State). So for Baylor, 7 of their 12 games were against SMU, NWST, Buffalo, Kansas, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and they lost to WVU.

I think OSU and MSU should just play to see who gets into the playoff. Winner gets the 4 spot.

My only tidbit:
Not all conference championships are the same.
If FSU loses to Florida but wins the ACC, they are NOT more deserving than a 1-loss Baylor or MSU. The ACC is an abysmal joke of a conference. I'd rather have a 2-loss Big 12 champ, 2-loss SEC champ and 2-loss PAC champ along with a 1-loss Big 10 champ over an undefeated FSU. The ACC is horrid - the Big East part deux.

Wrong. They have made it known that conference champions will carry the greatest influence. Since there are no conference champions of Power 5 conferences yet, that card cannot be played in the weekly rankings to date. There are only two ways MSU gets in the playoff. The first is if you beat Ole Miss and Bama loses to Auburn and you beat UGA or Mizz in the SECCG. Obvious. The other is if UGA wins the SECCG against Bama but lost to GT the week before. MSU would go before a 3 loss UGA SEC champ as well as a Bama who lost to UGA in Atlanta.

Dynasty would you rather play in New Orleans and get a trip to the Rose Bowl?
