Need to see whether Ohio State hangs 60 on Northwestern to fill out my bracket. Ohio State has the kind of magic to jump 1 loss big 12 teams, we've seen this. But they wont be able to disappoint in this game without making themselves "the Purdue guys".
 
Oklahoma -avenged their only loss by defeating Texas to win their conference championship.

Ohio State -May win their conference championship with a victory over Northwestern -lost to Purdue.

Georgia -lost to a 3-loss LSU and lost their championship game. 2 losses.

Bama-Clemson-ND-OU

Ohio St vs Wash - Rose Bowl
Georgia vs Texas - Sugar Bowl
 
Just given where they're currently positioned and the fact that Northwestern isn't a particularly impressive opponent to beat, even if you beat them badly enough that they close down the program, it should be Oklahoma in the 4th spot, but the Big 10 gets a lot more love than the Big 12 so it may be close.

The argument I keep hearing against Oklahoma is that they have no defense. The problem with that argument is Ohio State has given up 25+ points to 8 of its 11 P5 opponents.

2014 Ohio State jumping TCU tho. 2016 Ohio State going instead of the conference champs who beat them head to head. They just have that magic.

Yep. I wouldn't be shocked if they inexplicably jumped Oklahoma, but I don't think there's much justification for it.

In fairness, they also got left out in favor of Bama last year.

Oklahoma looked really good over a higher ranked team than Northwestern. I think they’re in.

They didn't look THAT good. Defense looked pretty awful for the first part. Took them until late in the 4th to close it.

And eye test says Ohio State over Oklahoma all day. Never underestimate the eye test.
 
I don't see how the committee can leave JMU out of the picture.
 
  1. Alabama 13-0
  2. Clemson 13-0
  3. Notre Dame 12-0
  4. Oklahoma 12-1
  5. Ohio State 12-1
  6. UCF 12-0
  7. Georgia 11-2
