OSU needs at least 6 games to be eligible for the CFP.
Is OSU going to play this weekend?
Who says tOSU needs six games to be eligible for the CFP?
Next weekend might be the issue
Right now both look to be possible cancellations:
This weekend because the other two B1G teams that have cancelled one game due to COVID have had to cancel a second game as well. If that precedent holds, tOSU will have to cancel this weekend's MSU game. Next weekend because there are now rumors of an outbreak at Michigan and if they have to cancel two games the second one would be THE GAME.
I know, but if they can't go this weekend, it's over.
What is over?
First, you said above that "OSU needs at least 6 games to be eligible for the CFP." Please don't present your opinion as fact. To my knowledge, the CFP committee has set not such minimum. In fact, the CFP committee has specifically stated that there is no minimum game requirement to be eligible for the CFP.
Second, it isn't even carved in stone yet that Ohio State needs six games to make the B1GCG. Depending on how you read the B1G's 2020 rules
the B1G's 2020 rules and how many other games get cancelled they might be eligible with four.
Third, even assuming that six games were required to make the CFP and that the Buckeyes will not play this weekend, they could still achieve six games total and be "eligible" for the CFP under your completely made up scenario:
- Four games already played, 4-0.
- One game December 12 (either Michigan or a replacement).
- One game Champions Weekend (possibly the CG or possibly a game against fellow-non-eligible-team, Wisconsin).
That makes six.
