I watched the OSU - Indiana game and indiana could of easily won that game. Why the bad throws by Fields? Indiana was pressuring the **** out of him. Indiana was down by multiple scores at the half and kicked butt most of the second half. Indiana was passing all over the place easily. The qb and one receiver are legit.

We’ll have to end up in to top 12 in the final rankings, right?
The Rose and Sugar will take the top 4.
The Fiesta, Cotton, Peach, and Orange will take the rest, and not sure which bowls are affiliated with what conference. But the Big 12 Champ will go to the Cotton since the Sugar is a playoff bowl. I think the Orange is ACC vs Big 10 or SEC. The highest ranked G5 team will go to one. That leaves 5 remaining At large births, assuming those other bowls don’t have any conference affiliations. (Anybody know?)
That being said, the loser of the Big 12 Conf Champ will need a lot of help to stay ranked high enough. Not likely.
Orange has been listed as ACC vs. Big 10 or SEC and the Fiesta, Peach, & Cotton as both at-large in several places. So long story short is that a fininsh in the top 12 almost certainly goes to a New Year's 6 unless Cincy falls out of the top 12 then it's top 11 (unless BYU or someone else replaces them in the top 12).
The longer explanation is that there are some additional tie-ins like the Cotton will likely get a Big 12 team if one is available for the 4 non-semifinal New Year's 6 bowls.
Back to the original point, if both Iowa St. and Oklahoma win their next two games it will be a top 10 matchup with mainly conference championship games that weekend. So it's likely the loser of the game doesn't move back enough to fall out of the top 12.
Basically. The only teams outside the top 12 who have gotten in did so contractually, as either the highest G5 or the "next-highest" team from a particular conference.
The Sugar being a semifinal narrows the window a bit, because it's no longer a potential landing spot for the #2 Big 12 team or the #2 SEC team.
I watched the whole game as well. I guess we will agree to disagree. Ohio States pass defense got exposed in the 2nd Half but truthfully Ohio State looked like they eased up in the 2nd Half. Just my opinion.
Yep, that’s what I read. They were afraid that if they accepted UW, the PAC12 would force them to play a makeup anyway.
Now that the AP poll is out, meaningless obviously, but curious everyone’s thoughts on our CFP ranking come Tuesday night. Go!
8 or 9. Georgia and Miami don't have any wins over Top 25. We have 2.
Even the most optimistic ISU voters have ISU entering the Top 10 at #10. Put the Kool-Aid down, you've had enough.
Could be a little late I’m hearing. Hearing that Barta slapped that Arizona state lady on the butt and said, “I can use a new cup of coffee, sweetie”. So they have 2 separate groups now so he isn’t around any females or minorities.
