I like that he says they finished 4th in the conference and not tied for 3rd.
Yet, none of the talking heads give a rip about or are mentioning the Maryland game.
I've listened to three straight ESPN radio shows and they've all mentioned the Maryland game. The Coleman and Fitzsimmons Show literally just mentioned how Ohio State should have lost and we wouldn't be having this conversation.
ISU fans are so insecure they can almost successfully project their insecurity on to OU football.
There are 3 dislikes on my response and I’d just like to understand the other side of this debate. I see it if Texas wins both them and OU are in the NY6 and we won’t need the outcome of the Big 12 Championship game AND the Big 10 championship game since there is no guarantee for OU to make it in the playoffs even if they win.
I want Alabama to kick the crap out of GA as long as that happens and OU takes care of business then I think OU makes it in with no problem. I dont give a crap what happens in the Little 10

ESPN’s playoff predictor has OU as a 33% chance, and Ohio State at 48%. I suppose some of that has to do with who they play next
"Hello,, this is the Super 8. Rooms for the 28th? Yes we do have vacancies for $350 a night, no cancellation."
Hopefully NW just beats tOSU and leaves no question about having zero B1G representatives in the playoffs
Yep. If the committee was intent on getting tOSU in the CFP, this would have been the week and they could have beaten the drums on the Michigan ass-kicking.
They did not do it, and finally wised up and realized the NW really isn't deserving a ranking at all. Moved them down 3, but they should have been moved out. A 4 loss team with no victories over any ranked team and a home loss to the 4-7 Akron Zips is undeserving. Just media (and committee) bias to make the B1G CCG look better.
I think we are looking good either way. If OU avenges their loss, they make the CFP unless Georgia wins. If Georgia wins or UT wins, Big 12 likely gets two teams in NY6 anyway.
Alamo selects between ISU and WVU. Would be nice if Grier decides to sit out for the draft and makes the Alamo choice easy.
Some of us want OU in the playoff as it would benefit the conference as a whole. Money & prestige. Every member of the Big 12 would get bumped up a rung in the pecking order.
We are definitely getting 2 teams in NY6 games if OU wins since they are now ranked #5 above Ohio St. and sugar bowl tie in must take Texas. If Texas wins OU should get into a NY6 bowl, but it is no guarantee. I would rather have 2 teams with one being in playoffs than maybe 2 teams with nobody in playoffs.
You guys are right. Sometimes it looks like we are going to talk ourselves into the Liberty Bowl again.
We'll be lucky to get an invite to any bowl. The committee is scheming to keep us out.
This year is proving again that adding the conference championship was needed. Without it the Big 12 would have no chance of getting OU in because either Ohio St would jump them or Georgia would remain above them with a loss. The conference championship game at least gives OU a chance as long as Alabama wins. Personally if Alabama loses I would have them drop below OU, but I already know that isn’t what will happen in reality. Plus it is great added revenue for the conference. Seems that more years than not it will help the Big 12 playoff chances than hurt it.
This is spot on.
So the debate should really be Iowa State vs. West Virginia for the Alamo Bowl selection barring something really weird. Thoughts? They obviously have a Heisman finalist but I think we would travel better.
Would be the best bowl in ISU history and we took 20 to 25,000 to Memphis. San Antonio is drive-able so I bet we'd see similar numbers. Hoping its us.
FivethirtyEight's models and scenerios are up. Interesting. The model really doesn't like Notre Dame night having another game, but I can't see them not making it in any scenerio as a unbeaten Notre Dame.

The 4 team playoff is nothing more than a money grab and ND is a massive audience. They are easily in at #3.
