Northwestern is 5-0 and in the driver's seat in the Big Ten now. If A&M wins out and Bama defeats Florida decisively in Atlanta I'd say the Ags have a good shot. Both schools ending their postbellum futility would be peak 2020

I love to bag on them but it’s fricking insane that they haven’t had more success.

Boy they have a hell of a shot this year to get in.

They need to root for Notre Dame and Bama the rest of the season and if they just win these last 3, they’ll be heavily favored in all of them, and they’re in.

Just don’t frick it up

Does Northwestern have enough games left?

As of now, Northwestern has games with Michigan State, Minnesota and Illinois and then the Big Ten championship game on December 19.

Is there a minimum number of games to be eligible for the CFP?

Then tOSU has the easiest route to the CFP. They picked them over PSU when PSU won the B1GCG and tOSU head to head.

If OSU doesn't qualify for the Big Ten championship game by not playing six games and Northwestern goes 9-0 I think they'll be hard-pressed to find a reason to take the Buckeyes

Because OSU will not have a strong enough CFP'S resume when stacked against a bunch of other teams that put in the work! Such as, aTm, fla, N.D., Miami, Northwestern, CINN, or even a Marshall/BYU .,.... That had their schedules dismantled and did the best they could just to play 10-11 games.

Oh god. What if they win out and Ohio State can’t qualify for Big 10 game.

Aggie finishes 9-1 but at 5th and becomes only P5 team on that list. Yikes.

Would love to see the ESPN Northwestern college of broadcasting/journalism grads’ response to the outcome of a 1.Bama vs 4.NW

Spin that Mike Wilbon

“Duhhhh well Bama obviously already had the advantage circumventing the CDC guidelines with players playing.... I mean, do they even have doctors in New Orleans??? Or Louisiana for that matter? Who was doing the testing!?!! Bobby Boucher!?!? #EndRacism #EndStereotypes”

21 day quarantine and no big ten team that plays less than 6 games can make their championship game

The spin is it would be hilarious to update this image to just Texas A&M being left because of an LSU upset

A playoff does not equal a top 4 finish, just like a CWS semis does not equal a top 4 finish. That graphic was updated because A&M finished 2nd in ‘89 & ‘93 in baseball. If anything, for rankings alone, we’d be better off being left out and then winning a NY6. It’s such a stupid graphic anyway. A&M has 3 national titles, multiple top 5 finishes, & double digit top 10 finishes in football alone.
