Yea, I expect that it will be Michigan year to beat Ohio state.  Buckeyes did not play like they do.   
I expected a really close game.....but last night was terrible.   When you get beat that bad, at home,  against a team with a new coach........you know you are not as good.

Nope.

Looks like Alabama will be not so nice a place to visit for the next little while.

Alas for my beloved Wolverines.   :cry

Still, it was a good game, fun to watch, and had many exciting plays.  :aok

As for Alabama, it's unfortunate for them.  They will have lost one game to a very-good team.  Other one-loss teams did not necessarily lose to very-good teams and yet might end up ranked ahead of Alabama.  It's the disadvantage of losing later rather than earlier.

I think there are six top teams for those four spots.

This is going to be a mess imho.  There are so many distinct possibilities at this time it boggles the mind.  To many what ifs' involved.  And who knows how the committee is going to vote.

Alabama Georgia game', whoever wins is in (one would think)  Oklahoma beats TCU Oklahoma should be in. Wisconsin wins they are in (I think) LOL.  Auburn Clemson game winner should be in (I think)

This all can be screwed up if Georgia wins,  Wisconsin loses to OSU...........TCU beats oklahoma.........and who knows between Auburn Clemson....... We're gonna have to wait and see what happens and how the committee votes.  This could get very interesting.

Although a Buckeye fan I posted earlier that Ohio State does not belong in the playoffs this year.  Obvious reason the loss to Iowa.  They beat a #2, they beat a #16.  Lost to Oklahoma.

They are favored to beat Wisconsin.  Even if they do, they don't belong in the playoffs.

People who argued against the playoff often did so on the grounds that this would be the natural progression.  To hell with that I say, they should go whole hog and do a 32 team playoff, just like the Championship divisions.

32 team playoff sounds great.  Get rid of the cupcake games.  only conference games and a playoff.  sorry for your loss guys who profit off kids lives.  :aok  maybe the "schools" will be happy most kids will have less time getting hurt and more time learning.  :rofl  oh man it would be tough to chip away at the billion dollar system.  :rofl  On second thought I want these kids to get paid, PAID.  The ruse every millionaire college President, AD, and board around the country puts on is travesty.  Lets see how many kids boycott the bowls this year, and good for them.  :salute
