    Mark it down, ohio state gets into cfb final 4

    Bama. Oregon. Fsu. Ohio st. Those are your 4.

    tcu and baylor co big 12 champs but baylor won h2h. Who is the true champ there? We dont know so out they go.

    LT profits will get verbally raped by me because he is so clueless he does not realize that the committee resets every week and that tcu being #3 right now is almost meaningless

    I bet the committee puts Ohio St in now to avoid the whole TCU/Baylor argument

    Ohio State makes it.....2 birds with one stone:

    - Solves the TCU/Baylor debate

    -Ohio State good for network money and has the most public pressure by far to get them in

    I've never agreed with this dipshit on anything, but exactly.

    That would be a disastrous decision for the committee from a P.R. standpoint, and set a very dangerous precedent -- as would leaving out the unbeaten defending champs.

    Alabama, Oregon, TCU and FSU. That's where the committee stands, so like it or not, that's who it's going to be.

    So would dropping the No. 3 team (by your own rankings) from the nation's top power conference a week after winning 55-3.

    No Coin.....FSU has dropped a few times in the rankings after winning

    Seems like the committee rankings are very fluid so I really wouldn't rule anything out.....They could say adding a blowout win against a good Wisconsin team was enough to bump them up

    If they drop TCU TWO spots for winning by over 7 touchdowns and finishing off a co-title in the nation's No. 1 power conference, they should all be fired. Immediately.

    I don't personally believe TCU should've been in the top three in the first place, but they made their bed. For the sake of legitimacy and integrity, they need to lie in it now. Otherwise, the whole thing becomes a total farce and really proves there shouldn't be ANY rankings throughout the course of a season until the very end.

    Really? I don't see the Buckeyes in.

    My official prediction:

    1. Alabama
    2. Oregon
    3. Florida State
    4. Baylor.

    Agreed.....Think Ohio State makes it though

    Hope its TCU or Baylor as I feel they are both slightly more deserving...Which is a whole different debate in itself

    Committee put themselves in this undesirable position by dropping FSU and jumping-up TCU to 3rd

    Should have been before today's games

    1. Fl St
    2. Ala
    3. Oregon
    4. Baylor

    A good case could be made for dropping Baylor and putting OSU in 4th after today's games

    The fact they have the undefeated defending champs 4 is stupid to begin w. Don't really care how they have looked or whether I think they the best, fact is until some1 beats them it stupid to slide them down ever.. Of coarse the rankings from last week mean nothing and the whole thing a farce already as only reason they swapped tcu and fsu is for the bama-fsu matchup. Maybe they also did it to keep them there but would u really be shocked if they did something ignorant and swapped tcu w Baylor or Osu and left fsu at 4? I wouldn't..

    The head of the committee stated that conference championships would not be applied until the end of all games. He also stated that they would apply tiebreakers in a case where a conference championship game was not played.

    You said exactly what I was about to say. If they shake the teams around this much week to week, wtf is the point of releasing a weekly ranking.

    I think the committee tipped their hand last week.

    They want a Bama/FSU Sugar bowl because of the region factor so they dropped FSU to #4.

    They want TCU/Oregon in the Rose Bowl because that would be an awesome game to watch.

    Most people on here know I'm a Big 12 guy but I have a problem with putting TCU in over Baylor because Baylor beat them head to head. I also have a problem putting Baylor in because they played trash OOC.

    Since Baylor and TCU were co champions and didn't have to play a conference championship game, I would put Ohio State in the Rose Bowl against Oregon in a class Big 10/Pac 12 showdown so the Big 12 will get it's shit together.

    Ohio State has been more impressive than TCU and Baylor the last month imo. I watch TCU struggle with Kansas and Baylor struggle with OSU and Tech.

    Meanwhile, Ohio State drubbed Michigan State on the road and proved they are legit with their 3rd string QB tonight.

    Also, I'm sick of people using quality of loss as a factor. TCU lost to Baylor so they should go in ahead of Baylor because Baylor lost to WVU. Shouldn't the head to head win Baylor has over TCU matter more than who each team lost to?

    Shouldn't wins like Ohio State's win over Michigan State trump TCU's loss to Baylor? Who is the best team TCU has beaten? K-State who will finish like #17?

    They can say whatever they want. If he had some balls he would say "we picking who we like, who will bring the most ratings, or whoever jersey is our favorite, it all subjective anyways so fukk off". Big12 will add teams very soon and split into divisions so they can have a championship gm, especially if Osu somehow gets inexplicably put in ahead of their teams..

    I just can't get over Ohio St's loss at home to Va Tech

    It sticks out like a sore thumb when comparing the 3

    I think they're all very similar in quality but you gotta draw the line somewhere

    You can't leap frog Baylor over Ohio State.

    Ohio State was #5 and Baylor was #6 coming into tonight.

    How would Baylor leap OSU given that OSU had a way more impressive win on a neutral field and was already ranked ahead of Baylor?

    I think you can leap Ohio State over TCU.

    It should be like this.

    1. Bama
    2. Oregon
    3. FSU
    4. Ohio State
    5. Baylor
    6. TCU


    With that said the only spot that will change possibly is #3.

    Bama is playing FSU in he Sugar and Oregon will be in the Rose.

    Understandably so but they have better wins, and in blow out fashion. It'll be interesting to see if the committee values best wins or best loss.

    Shouldn't their wins over Michigan State and Wisconsin 59-0 count more than an early season loss when they were breaking in a new QB?

    It doesn't make sense that TCU gets ranked higher because of who they lost to when the team they lost to is Baylor.

    The Ohio St. Wisconsin score is off the chart...59-0 as a dog with your 3rd string QB? I didn't get to see it, but I guess OSU stuffed the run and Wisconsin had no answer AND OSU scored 59 freaking points. Crazy.
