Ohio state will move to #6 in Tuesday's playoff rankings

I know, I am not disputing that. I was merely pointing out that Ohio State would be slight fave head-to-head neutral. Let us see what this week brings.

And remember this whole debate started when someone said something to the effect that there was no chance in hell that Ohio State could make playoff even if they win out. That statement has already been disproven just by fact that legit 4-5 debate (if Bama wins) is going on.

whoever said that was clueless. maybe a hater of ohio state. anyone who follows college football at all knew that if they beat michigan, there was a path for them. that said, they need some major help because if bama wins, clemson wins, and oklahoma wins, they are probably on the outside looking in. oklahoma gets to play a higher ranked texas team than ohio state gets to play in northwestern. as long as oklahoma wins by say a TD or more, they *should* stay ahead of ohio state unless the buckeyes beat northwestern by like 30. if that happens, we have a conversation.

Northwestern players, i hope you are listening

Both those teams have hideous offense -
Missouri beat Florida by 3 touchdowns on the road - Georgia is overrated

Either way Georgia isn’t beating Alabama - kiss there season goodbye

You not going to leave out the big ten champion (if OSU) two years in a row.... At the end of the day it is brands and ratings

The Michigan v Ohio State game was the highest rated game of the year.

Ohio state is in if it win!

nope. prepare to be wrong. if oklahoma wins and then ohio state wins in a normal looking game (not a 30 point blowout), then oklahoma will go to the final 4. kyler murray on the big stage. heisman finalists tua and kyler playing each other. you don't think that will get ratings? it will be one of the highest rated games in the last 12-13 years since USC v Texas in Jan 2006.

are you serious?

committee has not liked ohio state since it got trounced by 29 pts at 6-6 barely bowl eligible purdue. then the buckeyes give up 50 pts at maryland and need OT to win it. maryland finished 5-7

committee does NOT like ohio state. they need to smash Northwestern by 30. Wildcats are you listening ????

Here is what everyone is overlooking. OU is playing a Texas team that lost it's three games by a total of 9 points. Ohio State is playing a Northwestern team that not only lost 4 games this season, but lost to Akron and to Notre Dame by 10 points. If both OU and Ohio State win, OU gets the nod for defeating a much tougher team.

all of this is UP AND OVER the fact that OU is already going to be ranked 1 spot ahead of tOSU in tomorrow's CFP rankings (if the committee sticks to what it's been doing the last 6 weeks since it started).

OU SOS and SOR will improve by beating Texas, more than tOSU SOS and SOR will improve by beating Northwestern.

the only wildcard here is style points. If OU barely gets by Texas and tOSU smashes Northwestern by 30+, then we could have a repeat of 2014 when tOSU jumped quite a few spots (including over TCU) right into the Top 4 after dismantling Wisconsin 59-0.

I remember this because our own LT Profits kept saying that TCU would make it in even though myself and several others here tried to tell hi that the Buckeyes would jump over them and right into the Playoff.

This is true. I said the same thing in here. If Ohio State jumps OU, the NCAA is sending a BIG message to the Big 12. That message being to become a 12 team conference or always be considered on the bottom of the barrell when it comes to the selection committee. The Big 12, which is known for it's greed, would have to make some type of adjustment. I would look into taking UCF and USF and adding them into a Division with West Virginia, Iowa State, and the two Kansas Schools.

and a BIG message to the BIG 12 to start playing some defense. Not a good look that OU has given up 40+ points in 4 straight games, and the craziest part was hapless Kansas scoring 40 on them. Mike Stoops is probably laughing his butt off somewhere. tOSU defense has been awful lately, but that is an anomaly. it seems like TCU in the BIG 12 does not play D anymore. Only Texas seems to play D there and they have a HC that cut his teeth on Offense!!

in about 5 hours we should see the rankings reflect OU number 5 and tOSU number 6

As a texas fan since birth; this team isn't that great. Texas got dominated by maryland. roy bacon and i both made the mistake of betting early on this team against maryland. When you talk about how bad osu schedule is did you point out that osu >maryland>texas> oklahoma.
The big 12 should never be put in until they put another team in their conference. That way they have a true conference championship. The greed of my u.t. is what is hurting the conference.

they should put cincy,ucf and maybe uconn in
put okla,ok st and all the texas teams in 1 div and everyone else in. As far as the stadiums uc could use p.b.s.

Chico i think the maryland game was too long ago. i think you guys are better than you think but you are just like me, a more realistic fan. as far as the transitive property, it won't work in this example and it rarely does.

look at this: ohio state beat tcu by 12 on a neutral field. oklahoma beat tcu by 25 on tcu's home field. if you consider that, it trumps what you wrote above (osu >maryland>texas> oklahoma.) btw those comparisons of team A beat team B who beat team C, they rarely work.

georgia lost to LSU by 20 who lost to Bama by 29 so is Bama 49 pts better than georgia? if so then you had better jump on Bama -13 right now!!

those comparisons don't work.

Everybody knows Oklahoma’s going to be 4th
