Aside from that gimme of a pick 6, it's been defense optional for Wisconsin. And this is the same Wisconsin team that held Iowa to 66 yards of offense. Wish we would have figured out our defense just a little bit sooner.

I think they slide OSU in to #4 if they continue winning easily. The nice thing is that it looks like either Alabama or OSU gets left out... Nice.

When will they stop calling it the P5 and start calling it the P4.5? Good gravy the B1Gwest is bad.

Georgia
Oklahoma
Clemson
Ohio State (barf)

I don't want OSU in there but just wait for it - "conference championships matter"....this year....since OSU won a conference championship.

Talking heads were discounting the SEC title game to pump up Alabama.

The thing is, who do they leave out? Bama, or the Big 10? Cant be pissing off the big dogs.

On a side note, the Wisconsin kicker needs to lay off the cheese

Would love to see Clemson blow out Miami by 50+. Might help TCU finish above them for a NY6.

If the Big 10 gets left out, would that be enough for them to expand the playoffs? Or are we overestimating the pull of the Big 10 and it wont expand until an SEC team gets left out?

Miami only has one loss though. And it wasn’t to Iowa by a blowout. It’ll be interesting to see how blatant the committee wants their biasses to show. Miami is currently getting housed so it is probably a moot point.

Yeah that's my bad, I thought Miami had 2 losses.

Wisky's base defense is generally good but their secondary hasn't seen this kind of speed and they're showing what happens when you miss tackles vs. 4 and 5 stars. Also their QB makes Kempt look like a dart thrower.

The 'Big Ten actually plays defense' crowd is likely quiet tonight.

Side note is this Dr. Pepper contest a football throwing contest or chest pass?

If they put Bama in over Ohio State that would continue the trend of no teams with 2 losses in the playoffs. I definitely agree that it is a win win. Either the Big 10 or Bama is left out and we get to watch their dramatic reactions

The committee has already proven that they are willing to overlook a bad loss if the team has quality wins. Clemson is #1 despite having the worst loss of any team still in the playoff hunt so my guess is that if Ohio State wins they'll be in at #4. Although that would mean a Clemson/OSU rematch from last year.

I would argue that Ohio State has 2 bad losses though. That loss to OU wasn’t even close, and OU dominated it even more than the final score showed. It was a bad loss to a good team. The Iowa loss was just flat out bad anyway you spin it

Part of me has a hard time seeing the committee keeping a 1 loss Bama out, even if it means leaving OSU out. I will agree, the meltdown form the fan base that gets left out will be epic.

I know I"m not the first to say it but I'm praying for an OSU win and for the Big10 to get left out. In that case, I'm sure we'll see an 8 team playoff within 2 years and we all win!
