UT or OSU for the 8-seed? (Data)

It's all about brand name. There was no way Bama wasn't making in the play off and there was no way OSU was dropping below us. Our only hope now is blowout losses In the championship game and they decide to drop one of those teams below us. Which may also be unlikely but it's our last shot. We defintley aren't moving ahead of OSU.

The committee wants Big 10 rematch with Oregon and OSU in the second round.

I think Georgia falls behind Tennessee with a loss against Texas. That's probably our only hope for a home game unless Penn State gets demolished and falls.

Nope. Boy - O just said teams not playing have no data points to change where they are at. The teams playing could move, like UGA jumping penn state, but not anything else

Ughhhh. Worst thing is OSU being slotted between UGA and UT. I can see them dropping UGA one spot if they lose SECCG, but not two spots. Dang.

If PSU loses, my guess is they end up either 7 or 8....and so we travel to either OSO or PSU.

They won’t drop Penn State below Tennessee. I do think there’s a legitimate chance that they drop PSU below Ohio State though. That would send TN to State College instead of Columbus.

That is because they don't want to take the chance of a Big 10 team NOT hosting.

The head of the committee just said for those teams playing in championship games they can be readjusted based on results. At least that puts to bed this idea that they won't be "punished" for losing.

I have extreme hope of Georgia loses they can drop below Tennesse.

Please you know full well it is about the conference - the SEC dominated for years, and the media never liked that. So yes it is about protecting the BIG 10.

That doesn't make sense, ESPN is tied to the SEC financially. Also, if bama was in our situation, you think it would have been the same result? They could have easily put OSU in front of UGA as well.

If PSU gets blown out by Oregon the committee could definitely justify falling below OSU due to head to head and results vs Oregon.

Funny he should say that when the data point would be a change in the SOS. Some teams could pick up a win over the conference champion. i.e. Penn State wins = Ohio State win over conference champion. Georgia wins = Ole Miss (and Bama) has a win over a conference champion. Data points will always change when games are played, just not data points they care about obviously.
