***Official College Football Playoff Rankings***

Right now, I think Ohio State will have a tougher game with Iowa than they would with Northwestern. The Big 10 is put in an awkward spot with trying to change the rules.

Don't get me wrong it's not a close 1-2 but they are the best two teams in that league.
 
Reece with the immediate diss on us.
Not saying you should care what others think but be prepared for most of the nation to say we are too high at #7. Lets face it most haven't even watched most of our games and they still just think of us as the team from back in the dog**** days and also the one that lost to Louisiana.
 
Agree completely..... what "eye test" has tOSU passed? They've played one halfway decent team, and barely beat them.
With you man. Look I get it and Ohio State very likely is the 4th best team but because of your own league’s choices you have much fewer games to lean on so you better make it zero doubt in everyone’s mind you are one of the four best. And they haven’t done that.

I think we know what *could* happen if we get the #4 spot and have to face Bama. But having a CFP appearance on the record is pretty invaluable given how far we've come.

Now, likely not being in the playoff, a trip to the Cotton/Fiesta/Peach is still monumental for this program

I don’t get why people are so afraid of Alabama. They are really good but I don’t think they are unstoppable.
 
How many weeks have we been ranked in the CFP polls in the last 4 years?

No he actually didn’t say that we were too high at all. He was bringing up that there’s no way we can go higher so matter of factly and then tossed in the UL beating us in game 1 by 17 and people should remember that.

However he was leading the charge in year one of the CFP for Ohio State because they were playing at such an elite level and their non-con home loss to a mediocre at best Virginia Tech needed to be forgotten and forgiven.

That’s literally what we are currently doing and at least our non-con loss is to a team currently ranked in the top 20.

If we beat OU handily (not likely, just a hypothetical) would we be able to jump a non-SEC champion Tammy?

If they don't put OSU in the Big 10 championship, we might be stuck cheering for Iowa

There's always the chance A$M stumbles against Tennessee, or, more likely of the two, Ole' MIss. Other than that, we'd probably have to light up OU.

THIS IS SO FREAKING COOL!

You can tell the analysts that have watched us play (Herbie, hell even Barta) because if you've watched us you know we are a VERY good team.

Us being #7 again shows the national media has a tremendous amount of respect for us. We are sitting in the sun fellas, enjoy this!

I think texas a&m has a real bone to pick with buckeyes, they should be #4.
