Somebody upthread (I think) put it at 60/40 Ohio State getting in over Alabama in the event of a Buckeye win in the B1G CG.

I think that's about right.

If Gawja hangs on Bama would have lost to a 3 Loss Auburn - not a resume builder.UW is in with a win tOSU 60/40 with a win
Auburn is still going to be a top 10 team. Its that Iowa game which is hard to overlook. One thing that might help was that the LSU-Bama final was a ratings disaster and they might try to keep 2 SEC teams out for that reason.

Amazing that Chubb was able to recover from that seemingly career ending knee injury, a few seasons back.

Georgia and OU in for sure.

Clemson-Miami winner in right? 

So guess it all comes down to Wisconsin. They win they are in, they don't Alabama will sneak in.

Do the right thing Buckeyes. Take one for the team, don't let that prick Saban back door in.

Yeah, pretty remarkable considering he's a a RB. I hope Grant Newsome has the same luck.

OSU ain't jumping Bama IMO.
They could win by 50 and Baama would still get the nod.

I got to thinking. I know. Dangerous.

The 1994 Rose Bowl was the national intro to Wisconsin Football. I said..

WISCONSIN FOOTBALL

That was the biggest game for the program in my lifetime. King Barry put the program on the map with that win.


Dare I say tonight's game is bigger? Is it?

OK Friends.

You tell me.

Is it bigger?
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

Can't do it. Buckeyes need to try and win.

Speaking of Satan, any one see how awkward his was on. Game day?

No.
If you lose in the National Semifinals, then this game would not be as big as that Rose Bowl win.
If you win in the National Semifinals, then the National Championship would be the biggest game.

I think the Iowa loss is damning.  Now, no one would've put money down on OSU getting blown out by the Hawkeyes, but it happened.  Anyone want to put money down on ANYONE blowing out Alabama?  

Wisconsin has all anyone could ask for - a win-and-you're-in game.  If OSU wins and doesn't make the playoff, they have no one to blame but themselves.  Lose once, you're on a tightrope...lose twice, you have no right to expect to get in.
