Either way, though - if Oklahoma plays LSU or tOSU they will get blown out. But, I'll still take it.
Oklahoma/Utah- Who makes the Playoff?
- Thread starter StevieISU23
- Start date
they will not make it... I would guess the committee would put in:
a 2 loss Bama
a 2 loss Georgia (or, if Georgia beats LSU, they will put LSU and Georgia in)
a 2 loss Wisconsin (B10 champ) and 1 loss OSU (as a runner up in this scenario)
and a 1 loss Utah (PAC 12 Champ)
Probably missing someone else that would also jump baylor... but no, they are not getting in. If they win they will eliminate the B12. Right or wrong that is the way it is... I am not trying to argue that they do not belong. Just saying if it happens they will not get in.
EDIT: So, based on the latest Rankings Alabama is not getting in... but, I would still argue it is unlikely Baylor gets in with a win. Utah (with win), Wisconsin (with win), Georgia (win or lose close) would likely be in ahead of them.

Looks like I continue to be right. Utah still ahead of Oklahoma this week.
Committee is trash.
Hey, we really controlled that game against the Blind. Although ISU would find a way to make it close.
They were still going to be trash if they bumped them above Utah (because there was no reason like what happened to Baylor getting bumped out the first year). It's nothing more than a political game for the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. This isn't about finding the best team in America.
I’ll repeat this again after the rankings tonight.
That’s the committee metric. It’s just margin of victory without the stigma of having teams purposefully destroy teams
If they do eye test **** they may feel Utah is better. I have a feeling Utah clobbers Oregon for style points. OU/Baylor probably going to be close regardless of who wins, but I think OU comes out on top.
I'd lean OU getting in over Utah though.

Baylor's sos is double digits better than Utah
And why do you think that should matter more than overall sos?
ISU, KSU, OSU TCU, OU, Texas, Tech >>>> 12 PAC
maybe I'm wrong here, but didn't you try to make the point that Utah with a win would be a more logical choice for the playoff because "Baylor's OOC is Trash"?
if that wasn't your point then apologizes. That was what I was responding to... Who gives a **** about OOC when the overall SOS is a much better barometer of the entire season.
full disclosure, I overstated the final sos numbers... Baylor is only 8 spots higher... I thought it was 12... I missremembered
