If it's real, Ohio State won't make it in. And Ohio State will make it in.

And everyone wants to be aggrieved these days. Find the hate, let is simmer, then wonder why we see so much of it.
I am watching it right now lol.   Stop being so dramatic.  😂😂

the hate is real, that doesn’t mean the committee will pay attention to the haters. 

look no further than our forum.    

and PUHLEZE, do not associate me with our nation of aggrieved victims.  One, I am not a victim of anything. Two, Mr Progressive- I am a white male so in your world I can only be one of the offenders.

People who think A&M are in the playoff or that OSU is out of the playoff need to understand that the committee doesn't rank teams like the AP or Coaches.  Those polls are more 'what have you done for me lately' while the committee takes each new game as a new data point worth it's share of total games played.
Okay, you've played 9 games and now you beat Tennessee, a dumpster-fire program, great.  That win is now 10% of your season total of work and we'll adjust you accordingly (basically not at all).  

The committee cares less about WHEN you lose than the other polls.  This is more of an evolution over time for them.

I would pick OU.  ND got hammered.
ND punted very well

OU didn't look great vs Iowa St.

Cincy didn't look great
tough decision on #4

interesting to see what the committee does

I'd pick OU

A&M would be my 2nd pick

Hopefully they botch things to the point where the Buckeyes get the Bearcats in the semifinals, and then the Domers in the NCG.

My guess is OSU in, and ND.  

I have already read several articles and talking heads today saying that Texas A&M should be in as opposed to specifically Ohio State.

Jumping 6 spots in one week would be controversial.

No more so than dropping a team 3 spots after a blowout win like they did TCU in 2014.  Again, the CFP doesn’t take into account where they had a team last week.  Fans do.  The CFP starts each week as if they are evaluating a team for the first time.

Last week OU didn’t have a conference title.  Last week they didn’t have an extra top 10-15 win.  This week they have those things.

Ugh.  aggies or sooners for that 4th spot.  It's like choosing between roasting in hell, or listening to Kirk Herbstreit 24/7 for ten years.  Wait, those are the same thing...

Come on committee, do what your ESPN overlords bid you to do-- put in Notre Dame for the TV ratings.  You know you want to!
