OSU and Bama are in. Washington is in.
Clemson is in if they win. Otherwise the big 10 champ gets a shot.

True, or maybe Michigan.
If Bama and Clemson win tomorrow, the top four will most likely be exactly the same as it is now.
If Clemson loses, a 2nd B1G team is likely #4; could be PSU, Wisc or Mich -- if PSU wins, PSU is likely #4; if Wisc wins, Wisc or Mich could be #4.

If PSU wins they're in. If OSU gets in over PSU there will be ungodly amounts of noise in the system and conference championships will officially be irrelevant. If that happens, say goodbye to CFB and hello NFL-lite.
The committee won't put OSU in if Clemson and PSU win.

Side note: Jake Browning was 9-24 for 118 yds against Colorado. Bama will literally beat Washington by 50. Whatever that line opens up at I'm going all in on Bama.

it doesn't seem fair to me that a team that didn't play an extra game in a conference championship can make the playoffs over teams that were in their conference championship. players get hurt in the conference title games and OSU benefits for the playoffs by not playing in one.

Yeah I'm an LSU fan, you don't have to convince me that conference champions don't deserve to be in the final hunt.
In all seriousness though Ohio State has some great wins this season: Michigan, @OU and @Whisky. No one has a resume like theirs.

If this happens it will be a travesty. Not one, but two teams that did not win their conference in the playoffs? How do you leave a team out of the playoffs because their conference does not have a championship game, if you are going to put two teams in the playoffs that did not play in their conference championship game?

i think at auburn, at gtech, at FSU, and Louisville is better than that. neither Michigan or Wisky have good offenses and OU's defense is saran wrap.

I agree 100%. Oklahoma was left out because their conference did not have a championship game, yet they could conceivably put 2 teams in that did not play in their conference championship game? (Ohio State, Michigan) It doesn't matter who is perceived to be the best team...you have to prove it by winning your conference. Michigan especially has lost their last 2 out of three games with one loss coming to a bad Iowa team.

If Penn State wins the Big 10 and is left out. Then head to head and conference championship become irrelevant.
That's what this committee has been basing these selections on.
And before you say well Bama got a do over lost head to head no conference championship. That was poll driven.

The playoff committee has to be rooting for VATech. , this really cleans up the decision.
Bama vs PSU/Wisky - in Atlanta huge draw
tOSU vs uDub - in Az even bigger draw
Mich - 2 loss non champ
B12- 13 data point , 2 loss champ maybe next year
ACC- champ more than 2 losses, Clemson 2 loss non champ
8 team playoff people- see told ya it work with 4

Agreed the committee really fricked up this year no way they can sort it all out this late in the year

Maybe not...but you could argue they've been the best B1G team since late October. If they beat Wisconsin, especially if they win big, the committee is gonna be squirming, particularly if both Clemson and Bama win. That'd give PSU a conference championship, a head to head win against OSU, and 2 big wins against opponents that OSU struggled with (Wiscy & MSU). I think OSU is one of the 4 best teams but the committee will have egg on its face, either way it chooses, if that scenario plays out. I figure the committee will be huge Wiscy fans today...

BCS had a provision for it. Was the only way three teams from one conference could get selected. Had your dawgs beaten LSU in the SECCG in 2011, Bama and LSU would have played in the BCSNCG as non-champions and UGA would have gone to the Sugar Bowl.
Bama was in at 11-1 and they sure as hell weren't going to leave the 12-1 winner of Bama-LSU out when they had the 11-1 loser of Bama-LSU in.
"No more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings."

No way OSU is in if Penn State wins the B1G.
