College playoff - Who's in?

[patdog]

My thoughts:

Bama - in win or lose this weekend
Ohio St - in
Clemson - in with a win this weekend
Washington - in with a win this weekend
Wisconsin-Penn St. winner - in if Clemson or Washington loses
Oklahoma - in if they win and Clemson and Washington lose
Colorado - in if they win and Clemson and Oklahoma lose
Michigan - sorry, 2 losses and no conference title = Rose, Cotton, Orange or Peach Bowl.

I have Ohio State out. Sorry, win your division. They would have a better case if Wisc wins the B10. If PSU wins, I don't think they have a shot.

1) Bama
2) Clemson
3) Big10 Winner
4) Washington

This weekend could really screw things up if someone other than a Washington wins the PAC12 or Clemson drops the ACC title game.

You could be right. I don't think they've taken a non conference champion yet. It will be interesting to see how they handle it.

No way in hell Ohio State gets left out. They are absolutely one of the best four teams in the country.

 

[patdog]

It's about politics as much as it's about the best four teams. Actually maybe even more about politics. I think OSU gets in, but nothing the committee does will shock me much.

If by politics you mean TV ratings/revenue you are 100% correct. Especially with the NFL ratings taking a hit this year the networks are going to twist some arms big time to get the "right" teams in.

Michigan's loss shut the door on my Buffs.

Washington gonna roll them anyway. Oh well.

Alabama and Ohio State are locks. Clemson is in with a win in ACC title game. Washington is in with win in Pac 12 title game. Big 10 champion is in with Washington or Clemson loss. If both Clemson and Washington lose, I think Big 10 winner and Colorado will get in the playoff.
