I said this before OSU played Mich. St. If OSU wins out, they are in the playoff. They are a blueblood, and that will matter in the end. If you are trying to make money, which obviously the playoff is, and you have OSU/MSU/TCU/Baylor sitting all together and deciding which one you want to maximize profits, the choice is easy. Those 4 teams will be close enough for: 1. TCU/Baylor to be eliminated based on sharing a conference title and playing 1 less game 2. MSU not winning its division

I agree. And OSU will have beaten Wisconsin the last weekend (who isn't great but is good enough to give them a bump).

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
