Maybe neither gets in and they play in the Rose Bowl. USC by 2 TD's if that happens.

If neither got in a lot of players would sit so wouldn’t be a fair representation. Hope USC wins to keep OSU out.
USC has no defense. None. It’s so bad there’s not a team in the top ten that wouldn’t hang 50 on them
When you play in the BIG, strength of schedule will never be good.
Sign me up for no Bama, no Clemson, no OSU. I might actually watch all 3 games.
I will say it again, but thank you for sticking around these boards. Always fun to get the perspective of an outside voice, especially from a Big Ten fan who isn't an Iowa fan. I appreciate how level-headed you always appear to be. I agree, watching what Michigan's offense did to Ohio State is scary to think what Caleb Williams would do to the Buckeyes. Yes the USC defense is NOT Michigan, so it would be interesting. What the Trojans are good at on defense though is getting turnovers, and if they would force a couple, Ohio State wouldn't be able to keep up.
I really want to see Georgia v. USC and then Michigan v. TCU. Flipping Kansas State is going to make me hate them even more than I already do by screwing the Big 12 over though. I think they beat TCU.
Caleb Williams is probably the best player in the country, so USC deserves a shot.
But I will say - Lincoln Riley is excellent at getting guys the Heisman, not so great at all in the playoff though for W - L.
Why should Bama get in over Tennessee? Both 2 loss teams and Tennessee beat Bama.
I think Michigan & Georgia are in no matter what. USC is in if they beat Utah, if USC loses then Ohio State should be in.
IMO TCU should be in barring a 30 pt loss to KSU. Yes a 1 loss TCU should get in over a 1 loss Ohio State. TCU's one loss would be in game 13. Ohio State didn't play a 13th game to potentially lose.
Yea, Yea I understand OSU's only loss was to #2 Michigan. But TCU shouldn't be penalized (just like undefeated Georgia and Michigan) for playing in their CCG.
IMO there should only be 5 schools left in the playoff discussion: Georgia, Michigan, TCU and (USC or OSU).

The committee already made this call, by putting Bama ahead last week, and neither team's game this past weekend is going to change that. Tennessee getting housed by South Carolina is the difference, and now they're now without their best player, in Hooker. There's no scenario where the Vols get in.
I initially thought the committee might drop OSU behind Bama, based on how the buckeyes lost, but I don't think that's going to happen now.
I understand the impact of Tennessee having a more recent loss than Alabama. And maybe some concern that the loss of Hooker would bring Tennessee's offense down. But after getting past the recency effect in last weeks rankings, I hope that Tennessee whipping Vandy and fact the Vols beat Alabama they will flip/flop those 2 schools.
Also the Tennessee loss to the Gamecocks doesn't look so bad with SoCar beating Clemson this week.
Remember, the committee addressed the 13th data point a few years ago. It was important then, but now not so much. Their key points change for each year. You know, how do we make sure our favorite SEC and Big ten teams get in. They also have more reps from those conferences then the others.

They still got absolutely wrecked in their own house, and without Hooker, does anyone really think they're better than Bama, today? We'll see what happens, but I'm highly doubtful that Tennessee jumps them now, when they already had Bama ahead only thing that's changed is both teams beating down inferior opponents.
To be clear, I don't think either team is worthy of a playoff spot. I'm trying to look at it the way I think the committee will, though.
Not that I want them to…I can’t stand USC. They’re way too cool for a fan like me. Still, right is right and they deserve it.
