Losing your final game at home by multiple touchdowns should leave a sour taste with the CFP committee.
This is what happens when a team only plays 1 or 2 good teams a year. Aside from Michigan who has OSU played?
Gene Smith quit the little 4 team playoff committee a several years ago because pOSU got left out that season. Sadly, they won’t do that to the Bucknuts again, too big a boy. TCU must stay unbeaten and USCw has to win the Pac-12 with only one loss. Clemson mucked things up today.
I think you're right with a couple small exceptions. If TCU lsoes today but wins the Big12 title game next week i think they stay above tOSU. I also think if LSU wins out they jump in front of tOSU and UGA stays in the top 4 as well. UGA and Michigan are locks for the playoff at this point IMO.
If TCU loses a game they likely won’t get in over pOSU, imho, the committee is looking for anything to drop them. LSU winning the SEC would make things really interesting. What then?
