I DO NOT think we make it into the play-off this year...
NO WAY Alabama (SEC Champion) drops... and there is also NO WAY they drop Washington (Pac 12 Champion), nor Clemson (ACC Champion)... They all represent different areas of the U.S. audience for the match-ups, and I believe it's ALL about ratings. Ohio St. vs Penn State... I believe the fact that OSU has lost one game to PSU's 2, will be all the justification that the committee needs... I believe that THEY also believe OSU is deeper, and a better match-up against Alabama, but THAT will never be said. Also, they will never put 2 B1G teams into the playoff under these circumstances ( a 4 team playoff)...
As a concession to Penn State, I think Penn State jumps BOTH Michigan and Wisconsin to end up at #5, but still, the outside looking in... I think we are Rose Bowl bound !!
BUT THEN, that's not all bad !
1) Alabama
2) Ohio St.
3) Clemson
4) Washington
5) Penn State
