They have said they choose the best team.Obviously performance and wins both count. Here is the question should FSU on any level be left off if they win because they have a backup QB? It is a team game so it would kinds of be unfair especially when no one knows the quality of the QB for sure. Ohio St probably is better but the games should be played on the field. If it is a team game how do you keepFSU out with a win. What would people prefer undefeated FSU with a backup or Ohio ST?
Doesn't matter what happened the last 2 years. Yes there IS a chance
Sure there is a chance, but not a good one.
commjttee showed last year that losing on championship Saturday doesn’t hurt as much as not playing on it.
again I state. Ohio state has to be clearly better than everyone both with the eye test and on paper, and they lack on both. All the dominoes would have to fall perfect. That’s why it’s 8 percent or whatever. So there is a chance. And I’d say 8 percent is about right.
There's a few scenarios which puts OSU in. A couple highly unlikely. To say OSU has no chance is armature
Here are the current odds at ESPN bets in Michigan. MICHIGAN +185 GEORGIA. +200. OREGON. +500 ALABAMA +800. TEXAS. +900. WASHI. +1500. FSU. +2500. OHIO ST. +5000. You should of waited. I don't know how much money you have tied up in futures, was not a smart bet. Do the math. Basically your future bet was predicated on the outcome of the Michigan Ohio State game. I thought your smarter than that. Remember what I said we all have the same information it's how we process it.
The committee showed what they think about the OSU resume by putting them #1 in the first rankings. Think about it
My future bets were a chance + value bet from the beginning of the season until now. You go ahead and stack up money on a average +200 side. Think outside the box bro. I thought you were smarter than that
I can share with you more than 2
It is part of the bigger picture. SEC is regarded as the better conference. Georgia will have lost with an extra game. History of what this team has done plays a role when you have two teams to pick with 1 loss. Only your opinion of Ohio St being better would be the positive on Ohio St while everything considered there are many positives for Georgia. And you know they will consider it, so saying it doesn't matter to you specifically is kinda irrelevant.
They don’t “lack both” though . In fact they are strong in both cases
They overall grade extremely well on FPI and strength of record, two things the committee historically looks it very strongly.
Their only loss was on the road by 6 points to a team that is likely going to be 13-0. And as far as the eye test goes, many who actually watched the game that the two teams are even and Ohio State “looked better” for a lot of that game.
They also took care of business all year long against the teams they should beat, winning by significant margins. Teams like Washington really struggled for bits
Ohio State is very good. They probably are a top 4 team if you are being honest about it.
The only downside is that they are not playing this weekend. That’s a negative, but it has been overcome before. The committee has let teams in in this circumstance including just last year
I agree they probably won’t make it because the path is tough, but saying they don’t pass the eye test or look good on paper is just wrong lol
Please do:
Mine as simply this:
texas, Alabama, Florida state, Oregon all have to lose. Ohio state gets in as the 4th team behind uga, michigan, and Washington
Texas, Alabama, Florida state lose. Oregon wins. Michigan, Georgia, Oregon all get in, and Ohio state wins the 4th spot over Washington.
guess if you want a 3rd you’re argument would be them getting in over a 1 loss Georgia but I don’t consider that a real option
