ESPN is saying OSU has 88% chance of getting in

I guess their thinking is that OSU has a better resume. Utah might end up with 4 losses after Friday. SC didn’t beat ND by enough. ESPN College Football:

Thats because that is last weeks chances. The new ones dont come out until after the playoff poll on Tuesday.

That’s the same as saying SC has a 1 in 8 chance of beating Utah, cuz tOSU doesn’t get in if SC wins

Absolutely out the Reggie Heisman back in Heritage hall and if the A$$holes in the Heisman Trust had any integrity and human decency they would give it back too. Those a$$holes only took it from Reggie because he played for you know who. They never treated the Michigan winner who was paid his whole senior year and testified in court that he did. Fcking hypocrites and kiars

That would be a travesty of a mockery of a sham. That graphic must be old. I can't feature tOSU getting into the same playoffs as Michigan after the beatdown the Wolverines gave them. It should be against the law. Felony. Death by hanging. Etc.

As for USC not beating ND by enough, I'm not sure what else they could have done. There was a garbage time TD by ND, but that shouldn't count.

USC may have beaten UCLA, and that sucks for Bruins. And while it certainly isn't much of a moral victory (or one at all), at least the Bruins didn't get fucking humiliated by USC, not in my book. Yeah, ND may have put up more of a defensive fight (yardage-wise) than the Bruins, but USC humiliated the Irish, regardless of the final score. Actually, Williams humiliated the Irish. Seriously. That was some serious abuse in the second half there. Almost criminal.

Agree on both counts. I think OSU showed USC something early and evolved from there as the season went on. UW I can't figure out

In fairness to UW, they do seem to have improved quite a bit. De Boring (sp?) seems like he's going to do something there. Then again, we'll see who he replaces Penis with. There's a good chance it'll be someone good; he had a really good QB at Fresneck, so I'm guessing he knows QBs quite well.

The conference championships should be treated as part of the playoffs. If 2 of the top 8 ranked teams are playing against each other in their conference championship then the winner should move on and the loser should be eliminated. Why should the loser, this late in the season potentially get another cance to beat the team they just lost to. If SC wins the conference, as a one loss team, then they are in the playoffs over a one loss team that could not win their conference championship. Ohio State hs the opportunity to ply on their conference championship and lost. So IMO they are out unless another conference champion hs two losses.

Those look like the odds before yesterday's games. Clemson and LSU lost yesterday, they have no chance. USC plays a game, thus allowing for another bump. Ohio State and Alabama do not.

This is after the losses, which is why those odds are less than 1%. LSU had about a 35% chance of beating Georgia and getting in before they blew it.

probably right. and yes I know the AP awarded SC the natty.

John McCay famously said, anyone, anytime anyplace.

That being said this team isn't ready to play Georgia in Georgia.

USC can claim anything they want. Undefeated Auburn gave themselves a natty I think. So did central florida. Schools do it all the time.

USC should also put a replica Heisman back in Heritage hall for reggie bush.

It was the win over Michigan in the 2004 Rose Bowl following the 2003 season. The 2002 over Iowa was a 2 loss USC team. One computer named them the top team, but not enough to claim. In 2003, AP, Sports illustrated, Sporting News, Coaches Final Poll, ABC, CBS, Good housekeeping, and about everyone else had USC #1

The Rose Bowl featured a throwback pass from Mikle Williams to Matt Leinart to seal it and an INT off someone's heel that bounced up into a poly kids arms. Weird. I met Tommy Lasorda that day. First of two meetings

Did Lasorda ask you to pick up the check?
