Are people really still debating on whether we will be in the top 4? We are not even going to sniff it.

Exactly and we don't deserve to be there either..hate to say it but damn Ala would get in before us..it's unfair and unfortunate after we beat them and LSU but losing that bad to S.Carol looks bad, even after today. Hoping like he'll Auburn beats Ala so they absolutely wouldn't make it.

Who said we are getting in? Also why is your instant reaction about us when a statement is made about Top 4 team losing to a 4-7 team sending them in a free fall in the rankings?

Like TCU losing sure in theory helps us, but it doesn't really matter...... Simple observation... TCU is blocking out USC and was blocking out Clemson as well in current form. If they drop a game today to a 4-7 team, they are out of the playoff contention And if you want to find a reason to tie in Tennessee and why it matters, they would drop below us sending us a spot (really 2 spots since Clemson lost) higher which helps our NY6 candidacy

It's a very narrow path but the path is still there. Requires quite a few upsets, with Alabama being upset by Auburn being the least likely. Everyone else ahead of us has a good shot at losing 1 or even 2 games. There could even be enough losses still to have it Georgia, Michigan, OSU, Tennessee as the top 4.

We are out of it barring some really unlikely set of circumstances. That being the case I have a buddy who is a Michigan fan. He roots for us generally so I think I’ll choose to be happy with that outcome today

11-1 OSU is definitely not in "no matter what"

If there is 13-0 TCU, 11-2 LSU, 12-1 USC, those 3 easily block OSU from making the playoff

Their chances of getting in losing this game was almost 80%. That’s based on the probabilities of the other 3 things you mention not all happening. If it does and defies %’s then yes they’d be left out.

13-0 TCU and 12-1 USC are prolly over 50% chance of happening. LSU winning in Atlanta is prolly slim chance. LSU losing while USC or TCU dropping a game are prolly even slimmer.

My guess is OSU drops to 6-8 range if no more upsets happen.

OSU isn't in no matter what, but they are in before us and that's not even debatable.

Based on % they would be. However, it’s obviously a human element that makes the call. The same human element that I said 3 weeks ago would take a 12-1 USC over 11-1 UT and the playoff guru on here told me there’s no way that would happen.

They always start slow but there's no doubt once they take control. We'll just have to see how bad LSU or Michigan wants it.

They seem to take not take an opponent seriously at times but when they need to they seem to be able to show another gear.

I don't know what rationale could be made to take a 10-2 Tennessee team over an 11-1 OSU team.
