re: If everyone wins out still in contention, will the committee really

I honestly think that if everyone wins out, it will be Bama, Oregon, FSU, and tOSU. The committee has been saying from the beginning that conference championships will have a role in their decision and State won't have one.

They've also said that a non-conference champ would have to be decidedly superior to a conference champ to get in. Although I think State is a better team than tOSU, I don't think the committee will chose them over a conference champion with more wins. 12-1 vs. 11-1.
