I think the committee is going to have to let the Big Ten champ in, if OSU gets in it's going to be Washington (or Colorado) that gets hosed.

I'm not sure I'd agree that we get hosed if OSU gets in. They have a better resume than both Washington and Colorado. I don't think the same applies to the Big 10 champion, though. What makes Penn State or Wisconsin more deserving than Colorado/Washington? I'm really rooting for Wisconsin to beat Penn State, though because I think they have the weakest resume of the 4 teams. 2 unranked losses?

The committee last week already said that the criteria they set up applies to teams who they see as similar and that Ohio State and Penn State were not similar. Going to be lots of pissed off people in two weeks. Also they beat Wisconsin and have a better record.

Washington should obviously be in over Wisconsin/Penn State. If Colorado wins then they should put Michigan in and match them up in a rematch with Ohio State so I can finally have my revenge for that loving miserable Alabama/LSU rematch

If OSU gets in without winning their division, what's the point of even having conferences or playing the season? Just go with preseason rankings and be done with it.

Having to play one less game than everyone else is a huge advantage and also bullshit

OSU will have more quality wins and fewer losses than the big ten champ no matter who wins. This isn't the huge injustice you're making it out to be.

Iowa beat the holy hell out of Nebraska and I watched with my grandpa and it was very fun! Congrats to Mike Riley for getting his team back to the level of Nebraska Coaching Legend Bo Pelini, I'm sure they fanbase will be very happy and understanding.

Also OSU has more good wins than pretty much anyone in the country and their only loss was to another very good team in a game where they outgained them but lost on a blocked kick, they should definitely be in. The Big Ten divisions are very stupid (but also should remain the same forever because Iowa was a Minnesota collapse away from inexplicably tying for one of them)

I think the CFB playoff committee likes Colorado more than the general public thinks they do. They've already commented that they are aware of the fact that Colorado's only losses came when our starting quarterback was injured and that weighs favorably for us. And even then, we were THIS close to beating USC at their place with our backup qb. And by THIS close, I mean we scored a touchdown to tie the game late, the very next drive our cornerback picked off USC's qb on their side of the field (but then the stupid receiver stole the ball out of our cornerback's hands). If he held onto that ball, momentum is 100% on our side, we end up scoring and win the game.

Our only losses were to top 10 teams (USC gonna be ranked top 10 after this week for sure) in which we could make a strong case we would have won both games if our starting qb didn't get injured/miss the games

I wanted Butch to be successful but something is seriously wrong with this team. We had awful injuries, sure, but even with most of them available this team was outcoached, under prepared, unmotivated, and basically lacking in the most fundamental things like tackling and ball security. He's a great recruiter and spouts a bunch of good feeling coach speak, but he is clearly not the man to take this program back to prominence. And that sucks because I'm tired of this poo poo.

So the rankings going in to the weekend were

1 - Alabama (0 loss)
2 - Ohio State (1 loss)
3 - Michigan (1 loss)
4 - Clemson (1 loss)
5 - Washington (1 loss)
6 - Wisconsin (2 loss)
7 - Penn State (2 loss)

I would think they would do this at the top:

1 - Alabama (0 loss)
2 - Clemson (1 loss) +1
3 - Ohio State (1 loss) -1
4 - Washington (1 loss) +1
5 - Wisconsin (2 loss) +1
6 - Penn State (2 loss) +1
7 - Michigan (2 loss) -4

That way they could seamlessly flip flop Washington and B10 champ after its outcome without anyone moving lots of spots.

Edit: per a few posts down, also would keep Bama from playing Clemson first round.

Dubs vs. Colorado gonna own. Not putting much thought towards this playoff situation until after next week. Just gonna enjoy playing for a Pac12 'ship. It's been a long time coming for us.

I've felt for several years now that Washington is basically the Colorado of the Pac 12 North. We are so similar in our school histories (even had our football programs destroyed by the same drat coach), have both been national champions and our down years and up years seem to coincide with each other. We are like twins :)

Much like with everything else in life, the Euros seem to have more sense on how to do things in a fun atmosphere without sucking the soul out of the event.
FB Sam Rogers had his senior day against UVA. He was given Beamer's #25 to wear* and had his career game totaling 15 carries for 105 yards, 2 TDs, and another 30 yards receiving. He later came back to an empty Lane Stadium where he proposed to his girlfriend :3:

* - tradition started by Fuente this year. They un-retired the number and give it to a different kid each, usually a special teams standout. It's actually been good luck most of the season as a lot of the kids that have worn it have had impact on those games. Greg Stroman wore it against Duke and blocked a FG that turned into a TD and was the difference in winning the game.

Honestly, I don't think it's terribly untrue. VT's had a lot (a lot) of brothers come and go under Beamer and in what I'd say is probably 75-80% of the time the younger ones had the better career. The athleticism is obviously independent of it all but there's a lot to be said for the knowledge gained just by watching and learning from your siblings. The Fullers were a really good example of this as Corey, Kyle, and Kendall learned from Vinnie, who was much older than them because he was their step-brother. Vinnie was already in the NFL before they were in college and he would come home and work with them on the intellectual side of the game and each kid learned more and more to the point where Kendall, the youngest, was mentally prepared to start in college from day 1 because he had 3 older brothers who taught him all he needed to know to prepare.

Maybe this was a bit more unique to VT since it was the same HC and DC (most of the 25+ sets of brothers to play at VT played D) but most of the time it worked out well for VT.

On the other hand, if divisions matter so much that the consensus #2 team with a 45-24 OOC win over Oklahoma can get jumped by a 2 loss team with a loss to Pitt, then OOC games are a liability but never an asset.

Sometimes those divisions shake out wierd. Bama doesn't even win it's division last year if Arkansas doesn't convert 4th and 26 against Ole Miss.

Yeah it's almost as though championships will be one of several factors weighed in order to select the four best teams for the playoff. If they wanted to create a champion's playoff they could have explicitly done so at the risk of chronically weak divisions and upsets giving inferior teams automatic bids and incentivizing lovely OOC scheduling that everyone hates.
