There is a lot of football to be played so I am not going to debate one way or the other
BUT Everyone forgets that Ohio State had a loss to a mediocre team last year and ended up being the best team in the country by a mile. |

I wouldn't be surprised at all. One good school, a trio of second tier teams and a bunch of really bad squads. I'm not sure anyone other than Oklahoma would even finish in the top half of the SEC and I think OSU/Baylor/TCU would each lose 3-4 conference games in the Big 10 or Pac 12. Of course that's just my opinion and really irrelevant to the argument. Sticking with wins and losses Oklahoma might have a shot with 1 loss. If Oklahoma State manages to go undefeated and get in, they'll get their ass handed to them, but they'll have gotten in. I don't think anybody else has a realistic shot. My guess is that OU gets in. Whether they deserve it or not is arguable, but they'll have beaten two more ranked teams if they get through the next few weeks.

Let the Ohio State hate flow. Come on, lets hear you cry about their weak schedule that was made years ago.

Yes, but they had the worst loss of the potential playoff teams last year. A one loss Big 12 team can make the same case.

We aren't discussing who will win the championship, but who has a shot getting in the hunt. OU has a shot to beat 3 high-ranked opponents at the end of the season, which "on paper" appears just as impressive than OhSt going into the tourney. They probably won't pull it off, though. |

No teams that do not have a conference or a championship game should be allowed into the the playoffs until it expands to eight teams. |

In a ten team conference though, if you play 9 conference games you play everybody. You don't get to feast on a weak schedule like Florida is doing this year.

That's the function of the conference championship. If there are any pretenders who make it there, adding another game onto the end of the schedule against the next best team in the conference, even if you've already played them, makes you prove it. |

There is not a chance on earth that they put the Big XII winner in over Notre Dame. You better hope one of these four top teams loses.
