I think 'Bama is a superior team to OSU. & the CFP committee will do WHATEVER they can to get them in.
If USC had won everyone seems to agree they’d be in the CFP. Now only 2 teams have 1 loss. What has changed that now one of them is bounced by a team with 2 losses?
one top 20 victory. They got blown out in the 4th at home. I agree with SFG and unless Purdue plays a very close game I think OSU gets in but shouldn't. I want Bama in but not over TCU. TCU has I think three top twenty wins. They deserve it imv.
TCU was always a long shot to get in unless they stayed perfect and they didn't. CFP loves Alabama. I think this will push them to get in. These are also the best 4 teams in the country and would probably also bring in the most viewers
TCU played a tougher schedule than Ohio State. Ohio State has no business getting in over them.
If the Trojans win last night, they're a lock. Throw their loss in with TCU & it gets interesting AF. If chalk held last night & today, this would have been a wrap.
I think I just have the Bama fatigue at this point. 2 losses so was like ok they are out. Only team in the country that would be considered with 2 losses based on expectations not results.

That's cool and all, but OSU is still OSU and they sell more tickets and get more tv viewers. Same reason why a 2 loss Alabama will likely get in.

I really don’t think it’s any more complicated than how many losses they have. And 2 teams -as of now - only have 1 loss.
Trust me, as a Michigan fan who was in Indy last year at this time I hate Ohio State and don’t want to see them advance, but I just don’t see how it doesn’t happen.

Not arguing who should be in. But again, late season losses for some reason get weighed heavier. Add in SEC bias and a case can be made for Bama.
By refs on that spot where Duggan came close to scoring. Should’ve been spotted on 1 inch line. Instead of 1 yard line. Even the replay showed it correctly. The refs screwed them
I agree the committee already established Ohio State as 5. I was just suggesting a close game between Purd/Mich should change that imv.
Not following how that would impact OH. You mean higher than 4?
Out of curiosity, why do you keep referring to Ohio State as “OH”? Is this supposed to be some clever dig at them, calling them Ohio instead of Ohio State?

Lol No, just being lazy. But this place will lead to suspicions like yours
Harbaugh certainly responding after some heat with back to back Big 10 titles. Like the way they play. We will see how they match up on the lines soon enough.
Answering why I thought a close Mich/Purd game could have impacted Ohio State. I used the final top 25 rankings.
Bama had wins over MiSU (25) and Texas (20 who also beat KSU 12). Two losses on the road Tenn. (7) and LSU (11) by four total points.
Ohio State. Only win against Penn State (8). Lost Michigan (2) by 15 at home.
The thing I saw Penn State. Penn State does not have a win against a top 25 team all season (based on final rankings).
Bama Strength of schedule 8. Ohio State 67.
The fact that the committee already put OSU at 5 makes it hard to change now imv. If Purdue (unranked) played a really close game and lost I think it further diminished the Big 10 strength and Ohio States one win over a top 25 team.
I also think Bama is a team who could give Georgia a game. Maybe OSU will shine in the playoffs if things stay as they most likely appear they will. I think should absolutely be in.
No 2-loss team belongs .... period !!!! Has NEVER happened before. Adios Alabama.
Georgia and Michigan #1 and #2. TCU with first loss, and Ohio State with 1 loss, both get in. Ohio State will be #4 since committee doesn't want a repeat of a recent game in the semi's (Wolverines and Buckeyes). UGA beats Ohio State, Michigan beats TCU. UGA beats Michigan just as bad as last year. Dawgs repeat as CF Champions and then plan for three in a row next year !!!!
The win over LSU gave Georgia its "fifth" win over a team ranked in the College Football Playoff top 25 rankings. Ohio State and Alabama have a "combined" four such wins.

Very good points. Agree 100%. Bama should definitely be in.
When they rolled Arkansas in Fayetteville, Arkansas was 20th in the rankings. And when they won in Ole Miss, Ole Miss was 11th.
I have no doubt if they played Georgia, it's a 50/50 game Bama is equally as talented. And built for that game.

OSU's resume is weak AF IMO. And this is coming from a dude who roots for a team that loss to them.
1)Georgia
2)Michigan
3)OSU
4)Alabama
TCU was always a long shot to get in unless they stayed perfect and they didn't. CFP loves Alabama. I think this will push them to get in. These are also the best 4 teams in the country and would probably also bring in the most viewers

However, if I had to lay money on it:
Georgia and Michigan in
TCU 3. OH 4

Think he’s right
McCall is coming off a foot injury so what he does today is just gravy. Pratt is just fucking impressive.
Play calling sucked on goal line
OS no way deserves to get in at 11-1
Seriously

Yep -
Yes, he torched Michigan and Penn State, both teams with really strong secondaries. May not be a star, but should be able to have success in the nfl.
