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.

Missed call -- Penn State completion, refs overturn it.....Penn State goes quick for some reason and doesn't give enough time for review.

Either Penn State is better than I thought or Oregon is not as good as I thought?

SMU with the ball. Chance to tie it up if they drive.

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.

I also would bet $ OSU is seeded higher than PSU. Common opponent, h2h and analytics will all favor OSU

Big question in the SMU/Clemson game....SMU down 7, ball back with four minutes left.  If SMU loses by this score:

1.  Does the committee keep SMU ahead of IU and Alabama?

2.  Do they drop them below IU but ahead of Alabama?

3.  Do they drop them behind both and leave them out of the playoff?

--------------

IMO, the likelihood is in order #2, 1, 3.

Oregon defense isn't great.  Offense is.

PSU draws it closer after a TD on 4th and 10

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

Considering Penn State can't stop Oregon, do they onside kick?

IMO, they won't.

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

Penn State getting the ball back.

Wonder if the decision to go for the two point conversion earlier that failed will end up costing them.

PSU just got boned. It’s a grey area like they’re saying, but he was clearly just off balance. 

[BtownStrength 1,234]

SMU 22 yards away from a tie. 

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

Both games are barn burners.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,248]

That should do it for PSU

[LamarCheeks 18,790]

Oregon interception. Strange play call from PSU. 

[Hoosierfan1901 6,248]

TD SMU

[RaceToTheTop 25,622]

SMU touchdown.  Kicking the extra point.

Think that SMU has secured their spot win or lose, IMO.  So Alabama's spot comes down to whether SMU or Clemson wins in OT.

[Hoosierfan1901 6,248]

Clemson just a chunk play away from field goal range

[Hoosierfan1901 6,248]

Omg Clemson is in FG range
