No, not after that first half. LSU’s win was more convincing and over a higher ranked opponent.Tells ya what I know. OSU will probably be #1. Simper Fi.

I think LSU will win it all either way.I'm sticking by LSU as #1. I say it with unwavering confidence.
Nobody outside of the Top 3 deserves consideration IMO. I used to think 8 teams but 4 is plenty.Someday, the NCAA will get smart and make it an 8-team playoff with automatic bids for the Power 5 conference winners. Alas, I’ll be dead by then.
You like vanilla, I like butterscotch, and around and around we go. There’s no good reason a competitive sport should rely on judges when it doesn’t have to. I don’t think it’s much of a mystery who the best four teams are, but that’s not really the point.Nobody outside of the Top 3 deserves consideration IMO. I used to think 8 teams but 4 is plenty.
Penn State is better than Wisconsin.Didn’t Wisconsin lose to Illinois? Did the color analyst go to Wisconsin? He seems to be making whatever argument he can to get Wisconsin to Pasadena and keep Penn State out. I’m not seeing how that happens, but bowl selection frequently is done with a Magic 8 Ball so who knows.
Sure they are, and I’m okay with arguing that when it comes to bowl games outside the playoff or for the at-large bids that would be necessary for a hypothetical 8-team playoff where the Power 5 had automatic bids. It’s the qualification requirements to make the playoff that make no sense, are illogical, and unfair. This year, you’d still have the same four we know are going plus Oregon, we’d get an extra round of playoff games (oh, no!) and it would make sense. The regular season and conference playoffs would be guaranteed to mean something.Penn State is better than Wisconsin.
This is the format I’ve wanted too. This year, though, I have to admit the 4-team format will work perfectly, assuming the committee gets its shit together and gives LSU the #1 seed.Someday, the NCAA will get smart and make it an 8-team playoff with automatic bids for the Power 5 conference winners. Alas, I’ll be dead by then.
Are they? In home games with Michigan, Wisconsin blew them out and Penn St won narrowly. In road games at Minnesota with a lot on the line Wisconsin won pretty handily and Penn St got beat.Penn State is better than Wisconsin.
Penn State went to Columbus, and had OSU on the ropes with a backup QB. They would have been 2nd and goal from the 1 at Minny for the win if not for that awful OPI call. They didn’t lose to Illinois. They only had two loses, not three.Are they? In home games with Michigan, Wisconsin blew them out and Penn St won narrowly.

I don’t really have a dog in the fight but just watching a fair amount of Big 10 games this year Wisconsin has seemed like the second best team in the conference to me all year. I’d send them to Pasadena.
nailedbased purely on the games OSU should drop to #3, but I think they stay at #2.
LSU, OSU, Clemson, OU.
