the committee has said it themselves, they chose the 4 best teams not the 4 most deserving. Penn st does not fall into the former.

No way a 2 loss non-champ is still in the mix, barring some extreme chaos around the country. Even Bama would be out if they somehow lost both the Iron Bowl and SEC championship.
Dude, they beat you... if they win the B1G, they're in and tOSU is out, without outside help.

Problem is your schedule lacks quality wins. The committee likes to see this above all else. Washington's resume is closest to you, and they could potentially pick up two more ranked wins (Wazzou and Pac south champ).
Alabama: #13, #16, #19, #25
Ohio state: #7, #9, #18
Michigan: #7, #8, #10
Clemson: #5, #15, #17
Washington: #12, #24
Louisville: #17
Not to fear, I suspect OSU will knock them out of contention. Washington is the team Louisville needs to worry about.

Again it depends WHO the conference champs are. I can't see Oklahoma or any team from the Pac 12 sans Washington...maybe Colorado..or Wisconsin getting in ahead of them. I mean you would seriously take Wisconsin ahead of a team they lost to who in theory also just beat the other team that beat them?
You think you get in over a B1G champion PSU who beat you?

100% or both teams get in. The only way I can POSSIBLY see only psu and not osu getting in (with both winning out) is if Penn st absolutely curb stomps Wiscy in the champ game and OSU looks like absolute dog shit again UM and wins on some flukey play.
All will be moot, PSU wont beat wiscy.

Ridiculous. Without UDub or Clemson fucking up, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.
In large part by beating you.

Yeah, MSU totally looks like they could take advantage of all the injuries on the oline.

I didn't realize that Playstation bought the rights to the Fiesta Bowl. I guess Playstation is a better brand than Battle Frog, but I'll probably always still associate the Fiesta Bowl with Tostitos

San Diego St @ Wyoming? Oh snaps that's going to be a good one. SDSU's streak is on the line

NOTE: The Buckeyes have faced MSU seven times in November or later with a top 5 ranking. They've won just twice.
How many of those seven times were MSU 3-7 and only avoiding being last place in their division by virtue of sharing a division with Rutgers? I'll hang up and listen.

Ahahahaha oh man that's perfect.
So Chaos would be anOSU losing to MSU, but then trouncing UM. PSU and Wiscy win out, Wiscy wins BIG or os that irrelevant at this point? I guess what I am saying is that the weight of the CFB universe is on Urb's shoulders and I am not sure there is enough Papa John's for that.
It's another ho hum week overall this week too. Honestly Thanksgiving weekend is gonna be insane.
Lock of the Week!

Topics/questions for podcast anyone?
Catching up on the CFP rankings-
This is why we need to go to eight. tOSU might end up not being a conference champion, but their resume is the best of anyone in contention. Meanwhile, if Penn State wins the B1G it's hard to make a case against them especially since they beat tOSU and would also have a win over a ranked West opponent in the CCG.
At this point unless further chaos breaks loose, there are eight teams in contention for three spots, each of which has at least one sizable flaw in their resume. (I'm counting WVU if they win out as they would be B12 champs and 11-1).
Two loss team is getting in this year. I feel it.

I'm sorry.
Nothing hurts me anymore. Glad you guys beat Auburn though. At least one of us can beat a team from the west.
Also, I hate Auburn.
We agree on that. And yeah, at least we have one of the two wins the East has over the West. We've had a win against the West now for 5 straight years. Believe the rest of the East has the next highest at 2 years. So that's something I guess.

At least Appleby can throw in front of the receivers. That'll be nice until he gets knocked out in the first half.

Kinda amazing to think about considering a few weeks ago we talked about them possibly not making a bowl game this year. Obviously the schedule got easier, but the team does appear to be more disciplined and better coached, and then there's the X-Factor in Sam Darnold.
Also all your Pac-12 South title scenarios:
http://www.ksl.com/?sid=42231378&nid=635
If Colorado and Utah win this weekend then next weekends game becomes the Pac-12 South Title game. Things only get interesting if one of Colorado and Utah loses this weekend and USC wins.
Also ESPN with a nice piece on Mike MacIntyre. Some quotes from Duke's coach. Also in this piece we find out that Tennessee saved Colorado by hiring Butch Jones first.

And they haven't won such a game since 1973. That's weird.
With the first snow approaching, why does the south shut down during snow while us northerners go out and get some ice cream?
FauxPelini or Big12Refs which is the better Twitter account?
We'll lose, Sparty will beat them.

I spent a short amount of time in Texas as a young child because my father was in the military. Once it snowed 1/4 of an inch and they closed our school because they couldn't afford to heat it.
Oregon fans thought he was getting canned this past Monday, but it seems now like he will at least last the season. There was a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth about how if they let him finish out his contract and they suck again its another year removed from when they were relevant and their chances of being relevant again fall further away.
I think it was in one of Stewart Mandel's recent mailbags where he talked about how most programs reset themselves to their historical level at some point, and rarely does one coach raise a program to a new standard (an example he used was Bill Snyder at K-State). I think his point was that Oregon should at least be comfortable as a 7 to 9 win program most years and that a 3ish win season is not what will be their norm, but that at the same time they probably shouldn't consider themselves in the class of programs where sub 10 wins is a bad season (ie the Ohio States and Alabamas of the world).
