Playoffs, Bowl matchups
-
I guess I got spoiled last year. I have to admit, I'm not real fired up about a Fiesta Bowl trip to play Houston, North Carolina, or Oklahoma State. I can't imagine that many fans will make that trip. I could be wrong. I still think this is one of the four best teams in the country.

It pains me to write that OSU played uninspired football except for the Va Tech & Michigan games. I'm a huge OSU homer and I just don't think they will be rewarded with a top 4 game even if Clemson & Bama lose Saturday. Most of the pundits stated Stanford would get in over OSU if those upsets occur.
North Carolina should get consideration if they pull off the upset, which would make 11 wins in a row. That's better than any other team on the outside looking in.

They say that MSU/Iowa is a play-in game. Why would NC/Clemson also not be one?
Here is the reason: Even if NC wins.....they may not get selected because the decided to schedule 2 FCS teams this year.
The committee could decide (rightly in my view) that UNC should be punished for putting together that kind of schedule.
So, they could be out.
Beyond that....I think the committee should consider a team's losses when deciding. Who had the "best loss"?
Well, Stanford has 2 losses. They lost to Northwestern ...who lost to Michigan 38-0...and Mich. lost to Ohio St. 43-13.
And they lost to Oregon...who lost close to Mich. St. but also who lost 61-20 to Utah, and who lost to Wash St.
No, the best "loss" was by Ohio St......last second to a team now still in the Top 5.
Ohio State's loss is actually better than Alabama's.....to Ole Miss....and Oklahoma's to Texas
As far as OSU "sleepwalking" that should not matter.....they won all those games but the one.....and again that was still a last play loss....its not like they got hammered.

You can't drag out the transitive property in football the try and prove a point.
UNC would also have a better win than OSU.
What are their relative strength of schedules ?

If they beat Clemson....sure, arguably.

UNC played 2 FCS schools.....and Ohio State played in the Big Ten....which in general is tougher than the ACC....and they played in the Big Ten East....which arguably could be said to be the best Division in College Football (the Big 12 having no divisions).
Thanks partly to your boys in blue.

1. Clemson
2. Alabama
3. Michigan State
4. Oklahoma
I think they drop Oklahoma down one after MSU added to its resume. I really won't be shocked if OU gets bounced out though in favor of OSU or Stanford. since one of their biggest wins was against Baylor who lost to Texas today to drop to 9-3.

I want to see OSU play Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl.
It would be the highest rated bowl game this year. That and fans traveling to the games is what the powers that be want.
And no 2 teams travel as well as those two teams.

I got my wish. OSU should roll the domers. Just like they did to wishagin

Alabama-OU in the natty is my prediction. Bama got the best matchup they could ask for. Clemson did whip OU by like 50 in their bowl game last year (Gipper, find out how many times teams have played each other in their bowls two years in a row), but I think OU pulls it out this year.
