A decent amount since like a month ago OSU went to Penn State and won.  And Penn State has 0 quality wins 

I don't disagree that Ohio State is a better team.  But I doubt that the committee will be moving Ohio State will be moving them up over Penn State this week.  And I'd put a decent amount on it.

You act like there’s a ton of teams between them. There are two teams between them because Georgia leapfrogs them.

SMU setting its case for staying in over Bama on fire. 

I wanted them to lose, but lose close. Fail.

All I am sure about is that I think the NCAA BLOWS but kudos to them for going to a twelve game playoff. The playoffs haven’t even started and I have paid attention to at least a dozen games, because of the expanded playoff, that I wouldn’t have watched in the past.

Let go Hoosiers. No teams look invincible. I hope we kick some @$$!!!!

The worst loss that either Penn State or Ohio State would be Ohio State's home loss to a 6-5 Michigan team.  That has context as well.

So I wouldn't say that the context is that simple.  At some point who you lost to is in the conversation as well.  Alabama lost to two teams in the SEC (one by 21 points) who are only bowl eligible because they beat Alabama.

That’s true but I just don’t think the loss to Michigan by OSU will outweigh the head to head win by OSU in happy valley. Plus if you’re going to put value in the worst loss you have to put value in the best win. Of which PSU’s would be Illinois at home. OSU would not only have the road win head to head against PSU but their 2nd best win would be against the mighty top 10 Indiana Hoosiers while PSU’s 2nd best win would be @ Minnesota? I think PSU ends up 1 spot behind OSU.

So how did Ohio State play this week?

I think that you are thinking too much like a fan and not reflecting what the committee has been indicating.   It was my opinion that if Penn State were going to drop behind anyone except potentially Notre Dame they would have had to lay an egg against Oregon tonight.

At the end of the day, the last impression of Penn State is likely to be a competitive loss against the #1 team in the nation.  Ohio State's last impression was a loss to a mediocre Michigan team in their home stadium.

Oregon reminds me of a Crean team, All offense and not much defense.

All signs point to Barry Odom as Purdue’s next HC

UCF is going after him to. Which is a more attractive job, UCF or PU? I guess we'll find out.

Man, how do you miss the face mask on SMU there?  Ref was looking right at it.

Oh, really? When I googled him I saw an article from yesterday saying he was who UCF was targeting. I guess that writer was misinformed.

I know this is the football thread, but Gonzaga is skull dragging Kentucky right now in roundball.  Up 15 with 17 minutes left.

[RaceToTheTop]

SMU down 10 and driving, trying to make it a one score game.

Pretty sure it’s about to be a done deal unless something happened 

[DChoosier]

Not that this makes it right but……

In many games, especially against “name brand” teams, we complain about missed holds/missed PI’s etc, but to be fair those missed  calls seem to be common in every game I’ve watched today.

[RaceToTheTop]

Clemson has no penalties with 8 minutes left in the game.

 

[RaceToTheTop]

SMU within 7 at 31-24.

Clemson gets its first penalty but it gets declined -- running into the kicker on a successful field goal and the penalty wouldn't have given them the first down.

[RaceToTheTop]

Oregon and Penn State both with 450+ yards now.

Strange sequence.....Penn State QB runs for 18, throws one pass, leaves the game for just one play, comes back in.  Announcers said he hurt his shoulder but seems strange to leave for one play, certainly not long enough to look at it.
