Okay, I know the priority is Illinois, as does everyone else. This isnt about that. This is about something else. Something for those of us who want to discuss what the real possibilities are. So.

 

After this weekend their is a not to far fetched scenario that could unfold that would likely put a 2 loss OSU into the playoff. 

First,  let me say that things could unfold as Im about to describe,  and OSU still be outside looking in, but its not likely. Not if the following scenario is how the rest of the season goes.

 

First lets take a educated guess at this weeks projected CFP ranking. Keep in mind some of these might be 1 spot off, but should look a lot this as far as the top 10.

 

Alabama
OU
Miami
Clemson
Whisky
Auburn 
Georgia
Ohio State
Oklahoma St.
Notre Dame

 

So. A few points. Points that are very likely to happen.

 

1- Bama wins out- this would take Auburn and UGA out of contention for a playoff spot
2- Clemson vs. Miami in ACC Champ Game removes one of them from contention

 

So this leaves 1-Alabama, 2-OU, 3 ACC Champ ( Clemson or the U), 4- Big 10 Champ ( OSU or Whisky)

 

Granted, OSU is no shoe in to win the Big10, or even make it to the game. But when you look at this scenario it is not that far fetched at all.

 

But maybe the best part is if it actually happens, we would likely face OU in a rematch as our fist opponent.

 

Keep in mind tho........It means we desperately need Bama to win out, if they do not, it would be OSU that loses out, cause a 1 loss Bama will be in......Barrett still can’t throw.
