2015 College Football Season/Playoff Thread

Do Not Sell My Personal Information

For tOSU to get into the playoffs, with a loss at Michigan, this needs to happen. IMO

1. Michigan @ Penn State: Michigan has to lose otherwise they get the tie breaker. If only Indiana would of had better play calling down the stretch.

2. Michigan State @ Ohio State: Obviously we need to win this game because we would have 2 losses (assuming we lose to Michigan).

3. Notre Dame @ Stanford: We need to pull for the Cardinals because I feel a 1 loss ND trumps a 1 loss Ohio State. ND has a better loss (Clemson) and we would hold a late loss. Committee frowns on that it seems.

So we need to pull for the home teams in each scenario. Now for the Conference Championships.

4. Ohio State vs iowa: Again for obvious reasons.

5. Alabama vs Florida: IMO if Florida wins, that could potentially put 2 SEC teams in with a 1 loss Florida that just beat Alabama and a 2 loss Bama. This could be voided though if Florida should lose to Florida State however.


There are scenarios that involve the Big 12 not getting in but IMO this is the easiest path.

So root for the HOME teams in the first 3 games and the favorites in the last 2.


That would leave:

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Big 12 champ
4. Ohio State

Beating an 12-0 Iowa team to become B1G Champions would shit on anything that Notre Dame has done this season. We'd make it over them.

2 loss Bama is not making it in.
 
All that needs to happen is Penn State beating the team that we lose to. And Iowa remaining undefeated.

Not a single doubt in my mind OSU makes it as a 1 loss B1G champ as long as Iowa is 12-0.
 
SEC Champ (1 loss Florida/Bama), BT Champ (0-1 loss Iowa, OSU, MSU), Clemson looking pretty solid right now.

ND vs B12 champ could be interesting. Ok St obviously controls their own destiny. If they win out, they are jumping a 1 loss ND. 1 loss ND vs a 1 loss B12 team would make for a great debate. I would bet ND gets the nod.

UNC is playing very well. Their loss was early, and have improved since then, ala Ohio State last year. Is it crazy to think UNC controls their own destiny? If they beat Clemson, they'd likely trump ND.
 
"When it comes to future scheduling in college football, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema has a pretty interesting idea that could potentially satisfy the strength of schedule parameters for the College Football Playoff Committee and fans' appetites.

Bielema, who is in his third year at Arkansas after spending eight seasons as Wisconsin's head coach, proposed the idea of a "Big Ten vs. SEC Challenge," similar to what college basketball does now with the "Big 12/SEC Challenge." Bielema's concept would consist of ranking all 14 teams in both conferences during the preseason and matching them with their respective nonconference counterpart for a game that season."

I think this could be fun. I think you would have to do a ranking every other year, so you can do a home/home with everyone. I am not sure if the big10/sec would want to play these games on neutral fields.
 
The only thing that could be hard though is starting next year the big 10 is going to a 9 game conference schedule which only leaves 3 out of conference. That would make it hard to want to schedule other top power 5 schools. From OSU perspective you would always have a top SEC team to play, you play in the harder half of the big ten, and then you add another good team, thats 11 out of 12 vs power 5 teams.
 
That, and I think anywhere from 2-4 of the B1G's bowl matchups are against SEC schools. I don't like the idea of possible rematches being played in the postseason. For the near future I know OSU has non-conference games already scheduled against Oklahoma ('16 & '17), TCU ('18 & '19), Oregon ('20 & '21), and both Notre Dame & Texas ('22 & '23). Throw in an extra conference game a year and I think that is sufficient enough.
 
really surprised that Shaw didn't use his timeouts earlier

looks like it's going to cost them the game
 
No.7 and No.6 lost this weekend. Obviously, Ohio State will be the first two out, but, the CFP is going to be shaken up a bit this week.

Luckily it's a sh!t day outside or I'd argue the SEC would never agree to this in fear of the upper half of their conference being exposed as frauds.

Well that certainly isn't true.

Please explain to me how OSU can get into the playoffs? If UNC beats Clemson you have to think they jump over OSU and no way Florida beats Bama... So I do not know how OSU can get in...

I would of bet my left nut on top of a cobb salad that no way Appalachian St. would of beaten Michigan in 2007. Handfuls & handfuls of upsets have happened since then. Florida is definitely on the shitty side of the SEC, but I have seen bigger upsets than them over Alabama. It takes one game & some luck. Hey, the fucking Browns beat the Patriots 5 years back.

Even you just said, you would have to think they would jump over OSU. Their bad schedule and that horrible loss to South Carolina, who have had some awful losses, as well. I think the only way UNC makes it is if they win, Stanford/Clemson/Bama ALL lose.

Bama or Clemson loses, there is a slight hope. If that happens, + Stanford losing, I think they make it. Do I think they will make it? Probably not, because we most likely need 2 losses from top teams to get in. But it is definitely not 0% like you are making it out to be.
