Must say I expected with extreme certainty that Miss St would easily handle Auburn at home.

Ohhhhh shit great draw. Not fully sure it was meant to be, but ten miles of room were there. They could be in range to end it

Somehow bama will back their way into the 4 spot even though they don't deserve it.

Looking at two B1G teams in the playoffs now? Got to think a 1 loss OSU or UM get in even though one of them doesn't make the conference final

Woooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

This game isn’t drunk. It did a whippet and passed out in a 7-11 refrigerator.

Ignoring both records, I've watched a good chunk of these teams. So I was very surprised when I turned it on and saw it tied. Then I saw that snap attempt and all became clear.

Ohio St has to be in with 1 loss to Michigan. Is the reverse true at this point? I have no idea what the committee does with Oregon. It feels like they lose all 1 loss ties with OSU/Michigan/Tennessee? I would have them way less than 50-50 to be ranked above a 2 loss LSU.

Not that I’m one of those old heads that scream about conference championships matter. But I hate that sometimes you’re better off just not playing a conference championship game & risking your 1 loss margin. Alabama probably would have done that this year if they won tonight.

Obviously if every conference ditched divisions this wouldn’t matter

If everyone wins the game they're supposed to, Bama is done.

This has to be the earliest Alabama has realistically been knocked out of the playoff race.

The Big Ten is a bigger winner here with Alabama & Clemson going down. Their probability of putting two teams in the playoff just went up.

I'd put a one loss Tennessee in over a one loss OSU/Michigan

 

[Beef Invictus]

Yes that, that is the one

 

[JojoTheWhale]

I know I’m biased and I freely admit they’d get their doors blown off by Bama, but if TCU runs it out, the optics of keeping them out are impossibly bad.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Let's see if this overtime is a fart

I honestly just forgot Tennessee is in the SEC East. They play Alabama every year so I was thinking they were in the SEC West. Disregard my last few posts.

The SEC CG is probably gonna be LSU vs. Georgia.

It's literally mid to late 2000s into early 2010s TCU again. I don't want to be suckered back in and slamming the table for them. But it would give me more of a chance to watch Johnston.

I think I’d go Ohio St first, but I forgot just how easy that Michigan schedule is. Sheesh.

They're in if they win out. Can't keep an undefeated B12 team out of the playoffs, this year in particular.

Bring in the @Hollywood Cannon conspiracy theories if they're left out, though.

Ohio State is a lake of bile.

Thank you for securing my 10 points. Geez.

Is it ok if I get into the conspiracy lab tomorrow? I’m a little down in the dumps right now.

OSU has the cache but haven't really looked great recently. The biggest thing would be if Michigan wins a close one or if they won big.

Ohio State - Indiana, at Maryland, Michigan
Michigan - Nebraska, Illinois, at Ohio State
Tennessee - Missouri, at South Carolina, at Vanderbilt

Whoever losses the Ohio State/Michigan would probably have Penn State as their best win. Ohio State does have the Notre Dame win though too which looks better after tonight in regards to resume. Illinois doesn’t look like a potential resume builder after today’s loss to Michigan State. You could have an unranked Big Ten West team in the championship game too. So that’s not really looking like a potential one either.

So that game probably means more for Michigan. If Ohio State losses a close fourth quarter game they might have enough to still make it in with 1 loss over Tennessee.
