  Exactly what I've been saying. No way does penn st deserve to be in the playoff unless they win the big ten and Washington and Louisville both drop a game. Hell I think they might have a better case than Washington. But no way do they deserve to be in over Ohio st and it's not even close

  Cannot argue much with that.
  
  but how hard of a pill would it be to win the big ten championship, have one loss, beat OSU, yet stay home when the one loss team you beat, OSU, made it?
• Benny The Jet

  

  Glad to see Colin fighting for OSU, but I don't think his argument is really comparing apples to apples, is it?
  
  He uses the comparison of the NFL,NBA,NCAA using wild cards and at larges. The difference here is that in those sports, the conference/division winner is still getting into the playoff/tournament. In this case, the wild card/at large is getting in INSTEAD of the conference winner. That's a big difference.

  Shouldn't have lost twice then

  I think his point was more that wild cards win championships in every sport, why can't a "wild card" in cfb win it? Basically that OSU is one of the 4 best teams and could win the championship, even though they're not their conference champion.
  
  Like Colin said, why have a committee if you're just going to put 4 conference winners in?

  I think we're gonna see
  
  Bama, OSU, Louisville, Michigan
  
  Clemson's loss is worse, IMO, than Michigan's. Louisville moves up just based on not losing.

  I don't know and neither will Penn State considering they have two losses now.

  8-1 WVU behind 7-3 USC lol
• slingshot4ever

  This committee loves the Big Ten...2,3,7,8
• Ironman92

  

  LSU up 8?
  
  Lol at A&M down 17
• ironman02

  The remarks made by the ESPN analysts made me feel a lot better about an 11-1 OSU getting into the playoff WITH the B1G Champion. Seems like they think the PAC12 and Big 12 are basically out unless Washington runs the table and looks good doing it. Bama, Ohio State, Clemson, B1G Champion is what they're favoring at the moment. Louisville and Washington are probably huge Michigan fans right now.
  
  It's possible that the #4 spot could potentially come down to a 2 loss B1G Champ, Louisville, and Washington.

  1. Bama
  2. OSU
  3. Clemson
  4. Louisville
  5. Washington
  6. Michigan
  7. Wisconsin
  8. Oklahoma
  9. PSU
  10. Colorado

  My list wasn't too far off the rankings this week. Basic difference is they respect Michigan more than I do at the moment.

  If that's what he was getting at then yea, completely agree.
• thavoice

  Little surprised Michigan was still in the top 4, but I think they just took the easy way out knowing OSU/MI will battle it out with the loser dropping out.

  I hate Michigan...but they do have 3 wins vs. top 10 teams now. They're loss was away at night. Their wins are MUCH better than Clemson,Lville,& Washington. I can see why they'd stay there. But I think you're right, they know someone's getting bounced out of there in 2 weeks.

  No doubt that WC teams have won many championships in the past. Many times because they havent clinched early and arent coasting like some teams who rest guys. BIggest difference though, those sports have a legit process in place for those teams to earn the wild card spot. Not so wiht this...
• queencitybuckeye

  It's not the "Tournament of Champions". A league title is one more data point among the rest for the members to place the amount of importance they see fit.

  ? What am I missing here? Is there a legit process for college football? It's just subjective decisions by a committee.

  My bad, I meant those sports in the pro ranks that have WC teams win it all there is paramters, but college it is just subjective of course.. If OSU gets selected without going/winning the B10 game I would consider them a "wild card" team to a point.
• Benny The Jet

  

  Potentially big game tonight between Houston and Louisville. If Louisville comes to play like they did against WF last weekend, and Houston gives some sort of effort, they'll get beat. It'd be nice of future Texas Coach Herman to completely eliminate the Cards from playoff contention tonight.
• Azubuike24

  

  Louisville didn't look good against Wake Forest either. Houston definitely has the offense to hang in there.
  
  Louisville is favored by a whopping 14 points at Houston. Cougars with the points easy.
• SportsAndLady

  

  I am very confident in my Houston pick. Herman>petrino
