If Ohio State beats Michigan

#101

In the most ideal world for our purposes, Ohio State wins convincingly but, in a bad-weather scenario, both offenses look terrible and defenses generate a host of turnovers and outright defensive/special teams scores.

I want the playoffs as much as anyone, but you folks are over estimating the committee. They don’t want TN in. They will put USC or the loser of Michigan/Ohio State in before the Vols . As far as TCU, I ain’t sure they will lose a game at this point .

To the contrary. Committee had the chance to follow the AP poll and put TN at 3rd in the first rankings. They didn't. They leap-frogged us into first. There's been nothing to suggest to this point that the committee doesn't want TN in the playoffs.

I’d prefer to get OSU or Michigan round 1 if we make the playoffs. I could see being put at #4 tho. I can also see us getting left out altogether.

Just for fun tho, let’s say we do make it AND get out at #3, who would you rather face? OSU or Michigan?

What happens if USC and TCU lose, which is very likely to happen. Do they dare make it an all SEC, Big ten playoff?

I’m with you. This will happen and that’s why I think Clemson will sneak back into the equation of they win out. LSU will lose to UGA and if 1-loss Clemson beats 1-loss UNC that’ll be justification enough to put them and their conference championship in over the OSU/UM loser, especially if it’s Michigan. If it’s Ohio State then they might get in as their SOS is better than UM.

People keep assuming OSU will beat Michigan. In my opinion, Michigan has been the more impressive team this year. I think they have a great chance of beating OSU.

If both Ohio state running backs are out for the season maybe. I’m not sure Michigan can score with them or cover their receivers.

Michigan has to beat Illinois.No different than vandy beating kantukee. Michigan would be fourth in the east and Illinois would be lucky not to be last.

Refresh my memory, who played in last year's championship game???? GA and Alabama?

And that is why I believe it won't happen again soon.
They will rig the standings to try to get any team into the Championship game NOT from the SEC. Look at the makeup of the Playoff Committee. The AD for UK is the SEC guy there.

Why do people think the committee doesn't want TN in? Because they got dominated by GA?

Yes. I don't know why people think the committee is against TN.

I really think people are overestimating the odds the loser of OSU/Michigan gets in over us. No way the committee will see beating Penn State as equivalent to beating LSU/Alabama. In OSU's case, you could throw in Notre Dame, but that probably won't look much more impressive than some of our other wins, let alone all together.

I have visited a tOSU forum. They are still obsessed with that Citrus Bowl loss to us in 1996 Citrus Bowl.
Funny we aren't even aware of their rage.

Tangent post……..but Bally Sports channel is showing a big documentary about Mich-OSU rivalry. The push seems super hard this year to wedge them both into everyone’s psyche. What the heck is it with the love affair for these two teams!?!
I badly want one of them in the CFP

You are wrong- Take off the orange glasses. Penn State beat Auburn. Both of our wins come from teams with 2 losses.

We are an SEC team with a ton of hype and the CFP is yet to put us behind a team who doesn't have less losses. I am concerned about a 1 loss conference champion, and maybe 2 loss LSU, but I think we are in front of any team that isn't a conference champion.

I've spent enough time in Ohio to know that this isn't true. That literally never come up, even when I mention I'm a Vols fan.
