October 24, 20178 yr So Ohio State beats Penn State this weekend but loses another game somewhere and Penn State jumps them? Essentially the reversal of last year? Well, my thought is that Penn State will end up winning and making it a moot point, but essentially yes. 1 loss Penn State (even to Ohio State) > 2 loss Ohio State.

October 24, 20178 yr What if going in to Conference Title games we have only 4 undefeated teams left...Alabama, Georgia, Penn St and Wisconsin. Let's say Alabama and Penn St win those games...I think Georgia and Wisconsin would both have "better losses" than any other 1 loss team. I'd love to see Alabama/Wisconsin and Penn St/Georgia Final Four.

October 24, 20178 yr I think Georgia could get in in that scenario. No way Wisconsin does. They haven't played anyone remotely good all year. What if Wisconsin beats Penn St, should Penn State get in if that is their only loss and there are no other undefeated teams out there?
October 24, 20178 yr I was just curious about what you were watching with regards to Miami winning out. Virginia Tech and Notre Dame both come to Miami and then they would get Clemson? in the ACC Championship game so essentially either Miami or Clemson gets in. Given that Clemson beats South Carolina and Miami makes it to the ACC Champ game unbeaten.

October 24, 20178 yr Still in the picture and really controlling their own fate.... Bama UGA OSU Penn St Wisconsin Oklahoma TCU Miami Clemson Any of these teams that wins out will likely get in. If a bunch start losing who the heck knows. ND is the wild card in this. If they win out and 4 of the teams above win out I think ND is out. Who I think it ends up being... Bama Penn St TCU Clemson

If they win out they'll probably get in, but if ND runs through their schedule and Oklahoma keeps squeaking out wins I could easily see them left out.
October 24, 20178 yr A lot would have to happen. Big 12 would need to implode, ND needs to lose another game, and the ACC needs a 2 loss champ. Not as much as you may think...Big 12 implodes every year all we need this year is for TCU to lose that would give them one loss and put them behind my Big 4 who would all be undefeated going into the Conf Championship weekend. FWIW If Big 12 Title game was today it would be TCU vs Iowa St. ND already has one loss (to Georgia), would they really jump a one loss Georgia or a one loss Penn St if those two lost in Conf Title Games...besides, Notre Dame will get another loss any way. Miami could screw it up if they win out of course, but Does Clemson (choke at Syracuse) deserve to go in over the others?
October 24, 20178 yr I'm not sure on Oklahoma controlling their own destiny. If they win out they'll probably get in, but if ND runs through their schedule and Oklahoma keeps squeaking out wins I could easily see them left out. OU as of right now doesn't even get in conf title game. If there is a 3 way tie they lose the tie breaker also, by having the worst point differential between themselves TCU and Iowa St. OU needs some help, they need to win out and hope Iowa St or TCU lose another game (not counting the OU game).

Well TCU and Iowa St still have to play each other. One of them will be eliminated in my scenario of OU winning out.
