Hard to say.
The winner in Atlanta (Georgia or Alabama/Aubarn) and Charlotte (Clempson/Miami) is in, along with Oklahoma. The question is the 4th spot.
If Wisconsin wins the Big Ten, they get the 4th spot, and it's the conference champ from those 4 conferences.
If Wisconsin loses (to say Ohio St), then it's a numbers game.
If Alabama loses to either Aubarn or Georgia, then you could see 2 teams from the SEC, Alabama and the winner of Aubarn/Georgia (now before you say, but Alabama didn't win the conference, or play in the conference game, don't forget Ohio St. was put in last year over a more deserving Penns St.).
Also in the ACC, if Miami loses a close game to Clempson, the committee could put both of them in with a single loss each.
For Ohio St. to even think of getting in, Clempson has to beat Miami, and Alabama has to beat both Aubarn and Georgia. Even then, if Wisconsin barely loses to Ohio St, they could still get in over Ohio St, due to a better record (and before you say, but we would be beaten then, don't forget last year and Penn St.)
Would help if Oklahoma lost another game as well, but since Oklahoma beat Ohio St, they will still get in over Ohio St. even with another loss. Notre Dame could even be above Ohio St. in the committee poll. So I think the Buckeye changes are pretty much nil.
See, now I was thinking differently, If Bama loses a game they probably stay in the top 4 (mainly because they are Bama and it would only be thier 1st loss), so that would be bad for the Buckeyes as Georgia / Auburn gets in with the winner if they play again in the CCG.
2 sec teams getting in would eliminate the Buckeyes.
I don't think that Clemson / Miami loser gets in, particularly if Miami wins, seeing Miami is on quite a roll, I think they win and are in. (then I go back and remember that the Mac Toledo Rockets hung real well with them till the 4th quarter.)
That just shows how different a team is from early in the season to the end, NO Team is the same.
Ala, Oklahoma ... I'll take that Buckeye /Sooners game at a later date and it may be an entirely different out come.
Sooners played well early and the Buckeyes were just getting to know one another in the Defensive backfield.
(I've previously mentioned how I hate these BIG games early in the season, for that exact reason.)
Regardless, it should be an interesting final few weeks and CCGs.
Sad thing about THIS Buckeyes team, is you never know which one shows up (I really hate that about this year).
They can get blindsided Or beat the top teams.
An Angry Buckeye team can play with ANY of the teams above it.
Personally, I don't think they will make it this year, but we'll see.
I would love a shot at Bama, Oklahoma or Clemson again.
Provided the Good team shows up ...
Real Jekyll and Hyde here.
Oklahoma had better win out, they play Kansas and West Virginia ...
Do they play TCU or Ok State in a CCG ?
They do HAVE a CCG now, right ?
